On a chat show here in the UK, last Friday, Salma Hayek made her move for me. She finally attempted the Geordie accent. I am prepared to forgive the fact that she didn't quite get the accent right; Mexican Geordie just sounded sexy.

I’m highly surprised that Salma has been in the UK and you’re not into custody for a sexual assault. :-D

Interesting numbers, more interesting to me if you assume that CP Membership ... may its millions ever multiply, and never 'fractiously' divide; may its rivers-in-spate of excellent articles never dwindle ... may the hearty pub-brawling of the Lounge never subside to a bland swaying to-and-fro of a bunch of happy-face numbnuts singing in ersatz unison: "Cum bay yah" ... Reflects, on the whole, a very critically important subset of those you might call "content creators:" technical content creators, makers of tools for toolmakers, enablers of creation of all other types of content, and, if you'll allow me the liberty, a group I might monikerize as "Gold Elves" (to borrow from Dungeons and Dragons). Yes, you, are the crofters and artisans, architects, jig and die and blueprint makers, the sculptors, the machinists who not only build new prodigies that astonish the world, but build new prodigies that extend, amazingly, the power of yesterday's prodigies. Your raw materials, your ores, your saps of trees, your clay, your minerals: abstractions of logic rendered in somewhat coherent sets of glyphs that dare to poach, and inflate, their stature by declaring themselves "languages." It is you who are far more than mere miners, even though the nature of this beast of technical work, which wanders all over the map from dentristy-on-dinosaurs to creating palladia of such aesthetic excellence they may be likened to the artistry of a Faberge Egg, or the great seventy meter tapestry of Bayeux (manufactured in Canterbury in England !). And, how "apt" could it be to liken the nature of this technical work to under-the-ground, to spelunking, to labyrinths, to mazes ? It is you who "inherit the winds" of the genius of the great Arab scientists, Al Haytham, Al Khorawazimi, the Renaissance technical genius of Da Vinci, the great sea-change in mathematics brought on by Newton, and Leibniz, the re-creation of Algebra (in origin, an Arab word) by Descartes in the west, the astounding synthesis of Babbage's mechanical genius coupled with the mathematical vision of Countess Ada, Princess of Parallelograms, the heritage of Turing, Von Neumann, Djikstra, Knuth, and even the Gang of Four. It is you who stand in the shadow of the Jacquard loom, looking at the multi-color silk-thread portrait of Napoleon woven on that loom: created by a "program" of holes punched in nearly one-million hard-paper cards: that same portrait that Babbage saw that helped launch his own strange quest. And this wilted leaf, reduced to a skein

Brother Nagy, I've never been more sober ... except in the moment preceding this one, and in the moment following this one ... and I use no intoxicants of any type (smoke, drink, drugs) ... except ... caffeine, pranayama, anapasati, vipassana, and vocabulary :) best, Bill

Firstly I should say that I normally use FF (currently on 8.0, 9.0 on my testing box) I thought that Opera was plenty fast enough and I quite liked it for vanilla browsing. And whilst 48 hours isn't really long enough for a thorough test, little things about it had started to annoy me by the end. Actually, not it, as such, but things that it didn't have, or that I couldn't find. You know, all those little add-ons/widgets that accumulate over time and you only miss when they aren't there. Probably says more about me than about Opera. :) It treated videos oddly too, although, again, that could be me not able to find, or even having accidentally set an option that cocked it up. I would think that the somewhat minimalist interface would be ideal for a Mobile/Tablet etc. but not to my taste for a desktop. I will probably take another look in a couple of months and persevere a little longer.

Enter. Fat bird pretending to be 16 year old dying of consumption Enter. Fat bloke in too tight costume singing some rubbish in Italian that when translated turns out to be a shopping list. Three hours later. Audience digging own eyes out with toothpicks; fat bint sings some Aria that roughly translates to "Oh rupture, oh rupture", then dies in an improbably protacted manner (note, this is usually accompanied by every dog in a 10 block radius howling in distress because of the notes only they can here). Two minutes later: Curtain rises again, and fat bint is miraculously on her feet again, hand pressed to heaving bazoombas, curtsying in a way that is threatening an already overstretched corset to such a point that the front 5 rows could be killed in a tragic whalebone accident. But, as I've said before: I don't do impressions. And on another note: Lesley Nielsen has popped his clogs.
