Second series starts on Tuesday. I think series one was the best, most intense, TV I’ve ever watched. I was just hooked.
Wonder if this will work:

Sooooo, do I install Leopard tomorrow? Or meet a young lady who wants to cook my socks?
Just back from Shangers again. Did 19 interviews in 3 days. So interesting.
Interviewed a girl who had worked on Top Secret government network projects. She wouldn’t tell me what. She did tell me she had worked on DNS cache poisoning and spoofing, you know, for the Great Firewall of China.
Guess who I met while I was there? Umm, Old Doris. Now that’s an old, long, embarrassing story that I don’t care to link to! Met for a quick drink. Was nice.
What else? Oh, scalded my knob in the shower. Still hurts.
Saw a girl at the airport with a yellow passport. What country has a yellow passport?! Maybe Taiwan. Seemed a lot brighter though.
Had Hunanese food – spicy:
Saw a dead dude at the side of the road, people stood around him. I think he’d been hit by a car.
Saw a tree on a lorry:
And more from the awesome menu at the airport:
Er, what sort of restaurant is this?! (Number 4 here, if you don’t know what I am on about)
Quote of last weekend:
Eat my pie!
Alas, Private Dancer Doris was talking about a buko pie she had brought for me.
I arrived in Manila on Friday, got to The Peninsula at 12.30pm. I decided to have a quick read of my book before popping over to Glorietta for some lunch. At about 2pm, I left the hotel and headed over there, noticing a helicopter in the air and sirens. I got stopped by the police, saying there had been an explosion:
At least eight people have died after a suspected bomb attack in the Philippine capital, Manila.
The lunchtime blast shattered windows and sent debris crashing onto cars at the Glorietta shopping complex.
More than 100 people were hurt in the explosion, in the city’s Makati business district.
FMA, I’m glad I like reading.
For international users. Time to find a UK proxy. Been meaning to anyway, so I can listen to the Radio 5 Live match commentary.
Advertising will appear on the BBC News website for users outside the UK, the corporation’s commercial arm says.
The BBC argues that overseas readers, who do not pay the licence fee, should contribute towards the costs.
Probably going to start next month:
We will not be offering highly intrusive advertising and are taking significant steps to manage any potential conflict of interest between advertisers and editorial content to ensure our journalism is not compromised in any way.
We recognise that some users will be unhappy with this change. However in tests and surveys in advance of this change the majority of international users did not express a strong objection and a majority of those surveyed in the UK agreed with the principle of advertising for international users.
In the first phase, advertising will be introduced, probably next month, on selected high traffic pages visible only to those logging in from outside the UK. In a second phase, advertising will be rolled out across more of the site, again only when viewed from outside the UK.
I just hope we get the same news content.
Did you know Gordon Brown had a fake eye?!
