LOLpython

Apparently the Python community has released a working translator for LOLCODE. I am duly impressed. And amused.

Been a while since I posted about ID cards...

Brown under fire over secrecy on ID costs

Written in 2003, before the project was given the green light, the so-called 'gateway' reviews outline whether experts believe the scheme will be successful and how much it will cost.

The Information Tribunal, the body that hears appeals against freedom of information decisions, ruled that the Treasury must publish [the gateway review reports] this month. It reached the decision after receiving freedom of information requests from the Liberal Democrats and the anti-ID card campaign group, No2ID. Despite the tribunal's decision, the Treasury is refusing to hand over the documents. Instead it has lodged an appeal - kicking the issue into the long grass for months.

In related news, there is of course this ongoing situation:

Thought for the day

"You know what everyone's greatest fear is? It is that all the dreams we have, all the crazy ideas and aspirations, all the impossible romantic longings and utopian visions can come true, that the world can grant us our wishes... No weight could be harder to bear than the possibility that everything we want is possible. If that is true, then there really are things at stake in this life, things to be truly won or lost." -- Nietzsche

Dog abducted by monkeys...

Is anyone from the House of Monkeys coming to Spitz this week? If so, could they bring along Malvolio, the super-cuddly dog? I should probably return him to his rightful home sometime soon. I would have taken him with me after Fliss's party, but denari cunningly moved him off of my bag while I was getting ready to leave, and my memory wasn't doing too well at that point. :-p

Also, can someone remind me to bring Grace's present to the barbeque with me this weekend? (I assume she'll be there?)

Oh yes, and my present for the House of Monkeys too.
