The Lair

Titab reminds me that I haven’t commented on Eurovision yet. Yes, I watched it. I am only slightly ashamed at having submitted to a display of the cheesiest songs ever. You know the standard excuses? I only read Playboy for the articles? How about a new one? I only watch Eurovision for the snarky voiceover by Wogan.

Also, it’s official, folks. Dot-com mania is back on us all over again. Seen on a mailing list I read regularly:

My web startup uses Greasemonkey to make a parallel universe, where people can write everywhere and make visible bookmarks on pages they like. If you are interested in beta testing, check out http://stix.to

A business plan which revolves around a Greasemonkey script. Well, I’m pretty sure it could work but … but … well, I dunno.

And three for the price of one … Did you hear about the Congolese technician who was plucked out from the lobby of the BBC and made to go on air to comment on Apple Computer vs Apple Corps? Well, here you go. A hilarious followup found here. Now, one more observation to make (which was pointed out to me on TV yesterday). Ladies and gents, Guy Goma. Now, he was mistaken for Guy Kewney. Umm. Yeah. Ok, not to be racist or anything but that is a rather significant difference in appearances, innit? I’m linking to the video because this is too good to miss. Check out the unfortunate Guy Goma’s reaction when he realizes he’s on air and being asked questions about things he knows nothing about … It’s priceless.
