Social Workers. Still useless.

By Mark | Published: 12:11 Thursday 30 Aug 2007
The Facebook default for an image is just so appropriate. (and do I care that I’m using a blanket term? No. Why? Well if they won’t put their own house in order they can all live in it together. Do I care if no-one else joins? No – it’s still somewhere for me to vent. [...]

A Social Worker question.

By Mark | Published: 14:40 Tuesday 28 Aug 2007
Is there a point to social workers? Do they ever do anything when they aren’t off the sick? Do they actually agree to take tasks instead of directing them to others? Do they possess spines? Do they ever agree to get anything done by any time? Are we better off without them? Has one ever [...]

A reason to buy/use a PC

By Mark | Published: 11:23 Sunday 19 Aug 2007
I want to play music and I don’t want to use iTunes. Windows: Right-click folder, open in music player. It doesn’t give a damn what’s in it, it doesn’t care if it’s never seen it before, it doesn’t want to tag / sort / organise / move or otherwise screw with it. It just plays. [...]

Put the cursor over anything except Airport, tap the pad and the appropriate information appears instantly. But not Airport. It takes a leisurely 2 or 3 seconds to display it’s menu and list of [...]

Geldof <3 Blair

By Mark | Published: 16:50 Friday 8 Jun 2007
BBC – Poverty campaigner Bob Geldof has called the G8 summit “a farce” and used strong language to describe the leaders of the nations attending it. That’s the usual rhetoric from someone who seemed okay at Live Aid but who has sunk since. Everyone knows that these things are nothing but an ego-fest. Expecting anything [...]

My chicken got censored!

By Mark | Published: 01:21 Wednesday 18 Apr 2007
We were going to have chicken fajitas tonight. We’d bought the chicken, got the ‘yellow box’ of ‘ingredients’ and I was quite looking forward to it. But for what may seem an arbitrary reason we decided not to have the chicken tonight. We thought instead we would have it tomorrow. Possibly the next day. I [...]
