It's not fair! Why don't I get this kind of reader?

A nice little tip from Gerhard Häring - Running Python from a Windows network.

A while back, I bought 24 series 1 on DVD. I've just finished watching it.

Despite the rave reviews, I never watched in on TV. It was as much a lifestyle choice as a TV series, and I just didn't feel ready to make the commitment.

I kept quiet about watching it, too, 'cos I just knew that some smart arse would drop hints and spoil if for me if I let it out. Or is that just 24's paranoia getting to me?

Anyway. Fab series. Restores ones faith in the possibility of decent television.

Series 2 any good?

I didn't think England were keen on winning these days. Still, well done, lads.

Interesting obituary of Idi Amin. Lots of stuff about his early years I didn't know about.

Not, I think I can safely say, a nice chap. It's only a shame he didn't see some sort of justice before dying. Let's just hope he died in pain, eh?

And let's hope Mugabe doesn't last much longer, too. Or this lot.

Here's mine:
