The Power of Nightmares
Justin linked to The Power of Nightmares and I’m watching it now. Excellent and thought provoking look at the US neo-conservatives and al-Qaeda. Frightening too.
Pity some people think it’s all so simple. At least others are concerned for the safety of Margaret Hassan. God Help Her.
Later… As Keith removed my comment from his post, here’s what I’d like him to know..
Damn, but you’re one sick individual.
Much much later.. You can watch all three episodes online now. According to Metafilter they’re on Google Video and archive.org! Thanks Damien.
WPMU Nightly Downloads
I finally got around to creating a release script so I can quickly bang out WPMU tarballs and zip files.
Releases won’t come every day but when I make major changes to the system I’ll upload a new version and announce it here.
Here’s the download page.
Note: I haven’t as yet tested this version. It was created in a completely different way to past releases so it may not work quite as planned!
2004-10-22 Changes:
- Enclosures created by scanning blog posts.
- Lots of WordPress Core changes.
- Photoblog plugin displays links to posts where they exist.
- More than one enclosure now handled.

Morguefile Photography Classroom
Morguefile.com has what looks like an excellent photography course by Jodie Coston.
I briefly skimmed over lesson 1 and was very impressed. It’s something I’m going to come back to again and again.
World's Most Reliable CD-R From Delkin
According to this press release, Delkin make the “most reliable CDR in the world!”
Excuse me while I don’t believe you and make duplicate copies of all my photos. Anyway, CDR is simple too small for my archival needs. DVD-R is what I need and use and I’m due to make my annual copies of my current archive in the next few weeks.
I really should buy a CD box to store all that media..
Voting Machines in Florida State
Now that voting has started in Florida, trouble has already erupted. Here’s why..
That Lovely Glow Effect
Here’s a nice “glowing” effect and described well. Nice simple trick and easily duplicated in the GIMP too!

Ok, this is a frightening story in the Examiner!
Mr “Jaws” Ward Jr said told the jury they were still advancing forward when the accused, Mr Michael “Bumbee Hitler” McDonagh Sr said: “Shoot them. Shoot them. Kill them.”
Mr “Jaws” Ward Jr said under cross examination that he picked up a slash hook that was on the side of the road as he walked towards the assembled crowd of McDonaghs.
