If you’re a regular blog reader, I am sure you have your favourites. The best ones are usually the ones where something is really happening in the blogger’s life. Well, all I can say is that my thoughts are with Bart – I hope all goes well for you. Coming out isn’t easy, no matter how many times you do it.
JavaScript. It’s driving me crazy today. It’s hell to debug – especially when neither of the scripts that are causing me problems are actually mine. Agghhhhh.
How readers of BBC News think we should remember September 11, 2001.
This is how the web looked last year.
Two contrasting stories:
Today it poured with rain, and once again London seemed to flood. My office was without power all afternoon. Given that we Brits are, apparently, obsessed with the weather, let’s see what it’s doing when you’re reading this!
Despite some of my rants, I have great affection for this city. Amongst the many things that continue to delight me is the architecture. Today I wandered on the south bank to the Mayor’s new home, which is, to put it mildly, stunning. Unfortunately, the inside was not open.
Bristol is only a two-hour ride from my house. I have an old friend who lives there, and I haven’t seen him for ages. Today was the day we met up again (after about 18 months without seeing each other), and it’s great when everything just slips back to how it was. You know how, with some people, it’s hard to talk to them sometimes. You get on really well, but there’s just nothing to say. Well, it usually gets worse over time, and if you haven’t seen somebody for a while, it can be very awkward (how many strained meetings must have happened thanks to Friends Reunited?). Anyway, today wasn’t like that. We slipped into our old conversations and habits. It’s nice to be reacquainted with people. Today was a good day.

When did you learn about the birds and the bees? I have to be honest and say that I really don’t recall any parental talk, and I am not sure how I would have felt about it – especially since I knew I was gay. Well, according to The Christian Science Monitor (obviously not something I read every day),
while it may seem that youths are more attuned to peers, media, and pop culture, experts and teens alike say parents are needed as role models and cultivators of values in today’s confusing, image-saturated culture
I am sure I should say some more here, but I’m not sure what.
Following on from yesterday’s post, I thought I would test this little site of mine – reported as accessible in China. So, it appears I am not subversive enough to be banned in China. Well, there’s a surprise.
