There are some people at www.marcnjami.com (They don’t get an active hyperlink because they don’t deserve it) who have stolen my Munky favicon WITHOUT ASKING OR CREDITING ME without realising it was mine! This was kindly brought to my attention by a friend on IRC who thought they might have been working in conjunction with me on a gallery script.

The fellow I blasted a rather curt email to has responded kindly and ditched the monkey, comes to the fore that he’d found the icon and several others on the Favicon gallery I was added to a little while ago. Seems that the Favicon gallery might be giving a little too much spotlight to Google Ads and not enough to the fact that you can’t use the icons from that gallery without permission.

Ahhhh, capitalism 😉

Thanks to marcnjami.com for being nice, the internet’s not often an understanding place.

First up, finally someone near to government realises publically what’s so screwed up. Why are they all so slow, ignorant, foolish or ashamed of admitting their mistakes and really trying to sort things out?

BP, Mobil and Shell probably won’t let them, but who knows?

The AMM 1.5 is coming along nicely, there WILL be a posting soon about a beta version at the end of the week if things go to plan.

My site redesign is also in the works in the dusty drawing room of my mind, but so far the gallery is just on paper. Ahh well, you can’t have everything. If I manage to get it out by August I’ll be pleased. GO Me!

We’re in Singapore, yo!
For those who didn’t know, I am flying with my girlfriend Coley to the (Currently not so sunny) shores of Melbourne, Aus. We’re off for 3 weeks and when I get back I swear, honest, that I’ll get the photos from the last….9 months into my gallery. It’s now a life mission.

As for the flight I actually managed to sleep, though poor coley did not. 12 hours in the air to Singapore and I think it’s ‘only’ another 9 to Melbourne.

Oh, they couldn’t start Number 3 engine on the runway in London. Lovely. Had to hand start it, possibly with a crank. Morris Minor Ho! (That will have to be explained later)

So, on to Melbourne. Nix, if you’re reading, we’re coming for you boy…

I wanted to be more verbose, but I left it too late and I, quite literally, have a plane to catch.

We’re going to Holland to see friends. Hopefully lots of them

I promise I will fix my gallery into SOME kind of working order when I return, even if I don’t manage to release the latest version of my gallery software for another…. 3 years. Rob, any offers of help there? 😉

Will be posting from overseas. Possibly.

Yesterday I purchased a bottle of Sainsbury’s own brand cod liver oil. My lasting memory of the stuff from my childhood was a viscous yellowish oil that not only tasted outrageously fishy, but also coated your tongue and lips for hours and repeated on you for the rest of the day. (For the less eloquent of you out there, ‘Repeating on you’ is a posh and wordy way to say ‘Makes your burps stink’)
Anyway, the point is that this Sainsbury’s stuff (£1.29 for a large bottle compared to £4.59 for some stuff by Seven Seas) isn’t really that bad. Upon taking it it wasn’t *too* bad plus I’ve tried belching and it’s not particularly fishy. Either there have been advances in fish-oil refinery over the last 10-12 years or adults are not nearly as sensitive to the stuff as children are. I need to find a willing 12 year old kid and find out if fishoil tastes worse to kids.

Oh, about the conspiracy…

Fish oil is good for you. Really good. In fact so long as what you’re taking isn’t laced with vitamin A (Which is toxic in large quantities if I remember correctly…) you should have lots of it. Fish oil contains Omega3 things that not only make your coat shiney and healthy, but keep your teeth strong and reduce the number of trips to the vet you’ll have to take.
Now, you’ll most likely have seen the cod liver oil capsules on sale. They promise “1 a day” and that they don’t taste bad, have clove oil and all sorts in to stop the repeating (belching) thing. However… They only contain 500mg of the fishy goodness you’re taking them for, along with a 100% RDA dose of vitamin A. Please, compare this to the 4600mg of fishy goodness contained in a single teaspoon of neat cod liver oil. Then factor in that you usually get around 60 capsules for a fiver and there are 60 5ml servings in a £1.29 bottle of cod liver oil from Sainsburys. This means you’re paying 0.4p per gram of fish oil if you drink the stuff, but 16.6p per gram if you take it in capsule form.

Not only that, but to get from capsules what you’d get from the neat stuff would mean taking nearly 9 capsules a day which, if they’ve got vitamin supplements in, could be potentially dangerous not just to your health but to your wallet as well.

All numbers are approximate. I’m not a doctor. I don’t work for Sainsburys and I haven’t been paid to undermine the fishoil capsule industry.

I will report in a month about whether the numerous aches and ills that I currently indure have improved any.

What follows, might be an account of a man who had nothing to do with a horse. See, he mistook his phone receiver for a chicken. Dismayed by its constant crowing and lack of eggy produce, he tired fast. Damn you, the man postulated, all day you sit on that boat shaped egg and you don’t move, you don’t move! I’ll take you in the night, slayed the poor beast he did and fried it. After plucking from it its one wirey feather into the pan! Melt.

Odd, thought the man, that the chicken should have melted. He picked up his phone and tried to dial for the place was alight and wilting fast. Quite a shock, that.

Well, now I know what the Americans felt like when Bush was re-elected, only we look even more stupid because this will be Mr Blair’s *third* shot at us.
More xenophobia, more taxes, more reduction of liberties in the name of “Security” against terrorists who don’t exist. It’s a wonderful world…
Of course I’m not saying anyone else would have done a better job, but come on, it would have been nice to give them a shot instead of lumping for the guys you *know* are going to make more mess.

Right. I’ve re-formatted my PC and it’s all empty. Alllll empty.
Like the Queen song, all dead, all dead, that’s where most of my settings are.

Right!

First port of call, fixing uploads. Then, on to the beyond!
