Busy, in case you hadn't figured. In the meantime, I've linked a few times to
Steve, who it turns out is randomly a friend of a former housemate of mine and Paul's, although we've never met, small world. Anyway, he now writes for new blog/news site,
The Slant, which I'm plugging because, well, it's good.
His first article:
Thousands of pupils received their A-level results today, and amazingly the UK seems to be getting more intelligent than ever!
In the spirit of the occasion, the rest of this article will be multiple choice:
Seriously, go read the rest. For the record, he thinks
even less of Ruth Kelly than me. Seriously, it is possible. Anyway...
What should I write next?
I've been busy at work (see terror alerts and false flags, all over the newspapers and below), but it's about time I wrote a decent, substantive article. I've got 3 in my mind, fleshed out to a point where I just need to find time to type them up. Which d'you want first?
- The Cameron Project: What he's up to and why it should work
- Tactical Voting: It's a myth, it doesn't exist (seriously)
- House of Lords reform: I missed Lords Reform day on here, but put up a few links on my journal (Blogger went down), I could flesh that out a bit?
Anyone got a preference? Also...
Blogger Beta
I've been playing around with the new version of
Blogger (
via)
here, it does actually seem rather good, so even though there isn't a 3-column option (yet), I'll likely switch when they'll let me, the good bits more than outweigh the bad. Category tags for a start, and easy feed displays &c.; So expect a few weirdnesses as I do silly stuff to get it to work. I'm so not looking forward to going back to label every post.
