So, the Americans faked the rescue of Jessica Lynch during the Iraqi War. Surprised?
I watched Black Hawk Down last night and was horrified by it. With the same movie director working on propaganda during the war in Afghanistan, no wonder they made the rescue look good. It’s a shame they left so many witnesses alive to tell the truth afterwards..

Sometimes weblog posts can come back and haunt you. I had completely forgotten this post I made a year ago..

These images look very cute do they not? ‘course they could be Palm Be too 😉

This story is enlightening if you live in the States. Laws will change elsewhere though. This counterscript should help anyone when you’re talking to telemarketers though!

Salam has updated finally. Thanks Mark for the link!

Owen’s sick but I don’t think it has anything to do with me, I have the flu, not gastroenteritus! (sp?) (Owen – you’ve no permalinks!)

I’m sick today. It had nothing to do with the extended weekend and everything to do with a flu bug that’s going around. *ugh*
Don’t even feel like working on anything either…

Oh yeah, I saw Xmen 2 last night and I enjoyed it! I thought it was more like a comic book format, skipping from one scene to another quickly. Others didn’t like that but I found the characters engaging, and it zipped along at a neat pace!

Must read this article later, although I’ve been meaning to read it for 2 days now!

<donncha>		question… how hard d’you think it’d be to get dialup networking working on a SCO Unix box?
<pron>		donncha: how long is a piece of string ?
<Baud>		donncha: are you mad?
<pron>		donncha: Seriously though … internal or external modem ?
<Zoso>		donncha: dialup to or from the SCO box ?
<Baud>		donncha: take a long period of time, double it, and it’ll be about a quarter of the time required
<Zoso>		donncha: Well I’ve had to (i.e. not my choice) config & troubleshoot uucp dialup connections on SCO boxes 3 or 4 years ago and that certainly wasn’t fun
		* elrond shudders at the very idea of trying to get a sco box doing PPP.
<pron>		donncha: install Linux ?
