I clicked on it and they all went away again. Incidentally I was trying to find a way to add a new folder to “bloglines”:http://www.bloglines.com when this happened. The new folder option is very well hidden.
You can pick out particular parts of the Today Programme and listen to just that bit. Brilliant.
Today, I was just about to get out of my car, and the presenter asked the question “Why arn’t the French fat?”
I wanted to know whether she was just bitter about this and wanted the French to be fat. Sadly “it turns out to be simply that they eat less”:http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/listenagain/ram/today5_diet_20040727.ram
p.s. my newspaper cuttings are only updated in bloglines when I update the main blog. As a result I’m using del.icio.us again. “RSS feed”:http://del.icio.us/rss/sarabian
Welcome to Wildthyme is a site devoted to Iris Wildthyme, creation of Paul Magrs.
A wonderfully annoying Time Lady(maybe); sort of Doctor Who meets your gran meets Jostein Gaarder on a bus.
This morning my wife and I visited the school where my daughter will be starting a nursery class in September. It was strongly reminicent of visiting the hospital and looking around the delivery ward. Was it really four years ago?
My daughter is starting uncommonly early at school, in fact she starts two days before her 4th birthday. This comes from having a September birthday which will make her just about the oldest in her class. She has a friend whose birthday is two weeks before who will be in the class above. This confers great advantages on her all the way through school. She will have a full year in nursery, and before three full years at lower primary school. Time it wrong and you can be left with two and a half years.
Of course, this levels out by the time she is eighteen, but being the eldest at that age gives out an even better gift. She will be legally allowed to drink before any of her peers. She will also be able to learn to drive first. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but I’ve got twelve years before I have to start worrying.
To compensate, I’ve gone back to school myself. I’m starting an “Open University”:http://www.open.ac.uk/ course in November. About time I got some proper qualifications to go with all this “experience”.
bq.:http://www.aquarionics.com/journal/2004/07/01/Employment#comment-2520 Currently in the blog backlog are posts about the “private”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3811881.stm “space”:http://www.whump.com/moreLikeThis/link/04012 “flight”:http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996052 (once the moment has passed it seems wrong to blog about it, but it was so important), the “Dave Winer Attacking Women Incident”:http://weblog.burningbird.net/archives/2004/06/21/and-the-proof-is/ (sorry Shelley, I ignored the troll and despite the plea it remains very difficult to write the hatred of the situation I feel), stuff about the “Universal Feed Parser”:http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/06/21/feed-parser-30 and my future aggregator plans (always tomorrow, always), a random idea about “weblogs and wiki spams fighting techniques”:http://www.museworld.com/archives/001433.html that I’m sure will fix the world forever (hopefully I’ll right it down before the bypass is built), the fact they found a “unexploded bomb down Oxford Road yesterday”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/berkshire/3854655.stm (and it was very interesting cycling past the armed police; Aquarion did you leave anything behind we should know about?), how I’m getting on with “Test Driven”:http://diveintopython.org/unit_testing/index.html “Development”:http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?UnitTest (very well thank you very much; it is very good) and some random thoughts about the latest “Apple Steal Things From Developers”:http://www.russellbeattie.com/notebook/1007900.html meme that is probably too boring to mention.
So that’s all sorted then 
I forgot to mention a raft of gmail stuff, so

You are in a maze of tabbed browser windows all alike. There are exits left, right, up and down.
Requires “Firefox”:http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/, “Tabbrowser Extension”:http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_tabextensions.html.en and a lost sense of proportion.
