London wins 2012 Olympics
Wow. Grandpa is selling room space within Zone 2 for $2000 a night already..
Hoax or just sad?
I saw this on The Register this morning. The local interest (Utah woman gets $15k for tattoo on face) angle was interesting – but I thought “no one could be that crazy”.
The local Deseret News ran the story – and it all seems genuine enough.
Hunting around – and it looks like it may be a fake:
“However, the lack of blood or bloody tissue, redness or swelling … makes me still seriously doubt this is real.”
Logo – a new channel on satellite
A new channel appeared in the last week or so – Logo – and I’m sure there will be complaints from the locals. We quite like it 😉
WELCOME TO LOGO!
For the first time ever, Gay America has a home on television where we can go to see ourselves. On LOGO you will see more than 200 lesbian and gay films, an ongoing documentary series, newscasts tailored for a gay and lesbian audience and quality original shows and specials. Programming that reflects our lives. Programming that tells our stories.
Old, old personal web site
I was talking to a friend about posting to the web – and I mentioned that I’d had a personal website since about 1993. The challenge was to see if it was still hosted.
Google is my friend. I found one of my old websites – and it’s not been touched in over nine years. I’m wgetting it now to host at home. (Unlikely it’s going to go away soon – it’s been static for nine years!)
Way back in the distant past (1990) I had access to the ‘internet’ from a VMS host at university; telnet, VMSmail, lynx – all good stuff.
Just after – around 1991 – I also got a CompuServe account – mainly for access to the Novell technical forums and patches.
When I could afford a ‘better’ workstation (386dx33, 32MB RAM, 40MB HDD, Windows 3.11!) in around 1993 I finally moved to a ‘real’ dialup PPP account using Almac in Scotland. That’s when I first had personal webspace. A whole couple of meg online.
Finally I moved to UUNet/Pipex and used that service for around five years.
Now I host at home with a dedicated line and fixed IP.
It’s incredible how times have changed.
Firedrill in Provo
At 10.30 the alarms went off and the building evacuated; like so many ants swarming out of an ants nest.
Bleak portrait photos
I did an interview for a trade magazine a week or so ago – not an uncommon occurance; this week they are going to press and they called Rod, our PR guy, and asked for a photo to run with the article.
Hmm.
I was at Alan’s place tonight – and he’s a dab hand with the camera – so we did a couple of serious looking photos. Then really made them bleak with PhotoShop.
