Jo Caulfield is great and she just started a new show on BBC4 - Jo Caulfield won't shut up! 

The first episode, Jo on MySpace:

"You can find a lot about a person from the paper they read.

... if they read The Daily Star they can't read.

... if they read The Sun they can't read but wanna look down on Daily Star readers.

... and if they read The Daily Mail they can read, but don't really feel the need to think.

If you buy The Financial Times you work in the city.

If you steal The Financial Times you used to work in the city.

If you buy The Guardian you don't enjoy reading it but you want to know what to pretend to be outraged by.

If you buy The Daily Telegraph you wanted change for the parking meter and had to break a 5er.

If you buy The Daily Mail you're not interested in world events, you just want 6 sudoku puzzles.

And if you buy The Daily Express.. she's dead! Seriously, she's dead; there's no conspiracy, the car crashed, that's it, end of story - shut up!"

Living is easy with eyes closed misunderstanding all you see

The Beatles are brilliant. They kick ass, are fucking hardcore, rock, are radical, the shiz-nit, smoke or whatever phrase you say when YOU are drunk/high and make a lame attempt at describing Sublime. Noone i think is in their tree.

Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about

I never had a rush like the ones induced by them and I sometimes feel dying whilst listening would be dying at a climax of existence.

Because the world is round it turns me on
Because the world is round

They fucking ARE the walrus.

We were talking
About the love that's gone so cold
And the people
Who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know
They can't see
Are you one of them

McCartney said when the band broke up Harrison had grown up to be at least at his and Lennon's level. This is the phrase that i thought about the most in the past years. And during all this time his guitar gently wept.

Turn off your mind, relax and float down stream,
Lay down all thought, surrender to the void,
That you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

But listen to the colour of your dreams
Or play the game "Existence" to the end

Of the beginning, of the beginning

Why? Just Because.

Love and raffles; going hippie.

milo.m,

PunkTorrents is holding a Holiday Raffle to help fund the site's server costs. There are a lot of really cool prizes available to winners of the raffle including CDs, DVDs, vinyl, upload credit and a Grand Prize of $100USD!

The only thing is, we currently don't have enough ticket buyers. We understand that times are hard and not everyone has money to give away, and that's fine. Only buy a ticket if you can afford it. But think of it as buying something cool, because the winners get prizes! So, if you can, please buy some tickets for the raffle.

I always told myself i'd only look twice to people and sites that are into honesty and want the best for people.

I praised independent record companies, who tend to give out music cheaper or bands like The Clash who con their companies [twice] into giving more music to the public for the same amount of money.

I like a site made by the people, for the people and which sends me mails in which tell mer that "if i can" "please" buy some tickets.

I love a site that doesn't wanna con anyone and remembers to mention "Only buy a ticket if you can afford it".

I know.. it's not much. But it's something. Me luvs it.

Web anarchy bases itself on giving. Not for personal or material gain, but for receiving. You give your stuff and others reciprocate. In the end we all "have".

I think it's stupid and insensitive to have a character called Captain Hook in Peter Pan. We're defining him by his handicap.

That's like looking at Stephen Hawking and calling him Dr. Chair.

Ricky Gervais, 2004

This could be anywhere This could be everywhere This could be anywhere This could be everywhere Anywhere Everywhere

Our software's installer was called "InstallShield" till recently when the "company think-tank" switched to another one.

This "other one" has some issues with Windows Service Packs. I really don't like that we have to pay special attention to Windows platforms because of incompatibility with an installer ironically called... "InstallAnywhere".

The United States have had their interest in discrediting Cuba over the last 60 years, as well as lying to their own people and presenting Castro's regime as a "national threat" and infiltrating CIA Intelligence into the country. (The conflict between the US and the USSR in Cuba is where we've been closest to a nuclear war - the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, when a soviet general had received orders to open nuclear fire. It was HIS refusal to do so that made this blog entry possible)

The truth is  Cuba never posted a real threat to the US. As said, their reasons for the lie were different and they won't be further discussed now.

...But here's Noam Chomsky reminiscing something on Cuba:

The national security pretext [for the US] lost whatever shreds of credibility it might have had after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, though it was not until 1998 that US intelligence officially informed the country that Cuba no longer posed a threat to US national security. The Clinton administration, however, insisted that the military threat posed by Cuba be reduced to "negligible," but not completely removed. Even with this qualification, the intelligence assessment eliminated a danger that had been identified by the Mexican ambassador in 1961, when he rejected JFK's attempt to organize collective action against Cuba on the grounds that "if we publicly declare that Cuba is a threat to our security, forty million Mexicans will die laughing."

By the way, did anyone know that when it comes to foreign aid - medication and doctors - to be sent to conflict zones, Cuba is always among the first to provide such things? Not the US or EU, who usually either have some other interest in that conflict or will set up a committee to determine whether they should send anything. No. Cuba and other South American states are the best humanitarians.

best QED possible

I tried to learn more about "time-out" thus googling-it.

FAIL. One of the tabs about "preventing browser time-out" i tried opening couldn't be opened... on account the browser timed-out. Ya, thanks a lot, jackasses - i was hoping to see information ABOUT browser time-outs, not.. .browsers timing out. :))
