I’ve added the facebook “like” button to the blog. This will send an update to Facebook telling your friends that you liked a particular post on the blog.

I’ve used a plug-in developed by Javier Reyes (www.sociable.es) v 3.0.2  it’s currently in beta.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

What I mean is in which order?

I’ve always gone from the first email on the page to the last, however this means that I always read the earliest email I’ve received last. I’ve thought that this is actually the wrong way to do it. Read them in the order they come in.

So what I’ve started to do today is to read the email at the bottom of the unread list, as I know that is the email that I have received whilst I was asleep.

Just because certain members of Internet Forums have either had a privileged education or have  had the opportunity to have swallowed the Oxford English Dictionary or the Webster’s equivalent, they automatically think they have the right to be downright rude to other people or tear them apart.

Those who also think that their job title gives them sort of higher status in society are also guilty of this. Even though they have been in exactly the same position as those they seek to tear apart.

These so called “keyboard warriors” who believe that they are safe behind their keyboard and monitors, spitting venom and bile because they think there is no come back.

Sorry to shatter your little bubble, there is come back, it’s called “Karma” it is the biggest leveller on the face of the planet. It has no boundaries it doesn’t pick or choose you based on your perceived self worth and your perceived status in society. I won’t ask you for an apology if you’re rude to me, Karma will handle that.

Be careful who you spit on, ridicule or rip apart, the very same people you do it to, you may have to depend upon to help you out when you come crashing back down to earth.

As promised an update to my appointment this morning.

I was there with three other people. It was basically an induction. Introducing us to PeopleServe , how long were going to be on the flexible new deal and how many weeks we will be at their office.

So twenty weeks at their office and in total fifty-two weeks on Stage 1 of the Flexible New Deal. Hopefully I won’t have too long to wait before a job comes along.

My next appointment is on Thursday 29th April at 12.30.

If you don’t already know, I’ve been unemployed for over a year now, which means that I have reached Stage 4 at the Job Centre, which basically means they bring in an external agency to help with my job search.

I have my first appointment this morning with a company called “PeopleServe”, quite handy as they’re almost on the doorstep. I will let you know how I get on.

Did I ever mention that I wasn’t going to talk politics on this blog?

Well I put my Electoral Registration form in today, 1 day before the deadline. This will be the first time I’ll put an X on a ballot paper in a long time. Guess who I won’t be voting for?

Okay I was lying in bed and this random thought popped into my head.

“Do plants feel pain?”.

What happens when you mow the lawn does the grass cry out in pain?

The same when you prune trees and bushes. You are esentially chopping of limbs.

So over to you in the comments.

Just got back from the event, another good event, lots to see and do.

I really enjoyed the Super Theatre (I won’t give too much away).  Suzi Perry looks great in a catsuit :)

Premium seats aren’t really worth the extra £2.50 unless you’re allocated in Block A. Last year I paid a fiver to sit in Block E and had a far better view of the stage. I took some photos of the Super Theatre, but most of them will be of people’s heads and not of the stage. The challenges for those unfortunate to win the phone and text game were a lot better this year and offered more comedy value :)

I really need to lose some weight to stay the full course, I’m completely worn out.

The price of the food was astronomical, it would have been cheaper for me to pop out of the event and go to subway which I only discovered was right outside when I came to leave.

Nvidia please produce a set of those 3d glasses that can fit over spectacles for those of us that have to wear them, other than that it was a brilliant 3D demo. Well worth a future investment for 3D gaming and movie watching.

@robosteel‘s metal sculptures look even more awesome in the “flesh”, took a couple of photos of those which I’ll post up on flickr later.

What hope do we have when you don’t even know basic internet terminology? Could you explain to the public at large what an IP address is? Now please don’t google it you may end up visiting an illegal site.

I’ve heard about this bill, not really looked into it that much. But now starting to pay a little more attention to it.

We have all illegally downloaded stuff at some point in our lives, come on admit it. I’ve done it in the past with music, however the difference is, I’ve actually gone out and bought the tracks because I like them so much.

The problem with this evidence gathering where copyright holders can slap ISPs with a “copyright infringement report”. If they do it based on IP address which from my point of view is the only way they can gather evidence.

Does the government  realise that people share IP addresses, especially if they access the internet via a router or their ISP uses proxy servers, what about internet cafes? Worse still someone can drive by your house and if your wi-fi network is insecure they can download Lady GaGa’s latest tracks illegally then drive away and your IP address will be flagged.

There are many people out there who just browse the internet and to be slapped with a warning from their ISP because they are being forced to (because of the £250k fine) would send some people into a blind panic and worry them un-necessarily.

We are in the 21st century not the 19th century, the world has evolved so should the copyright laws.

I’m sure this bill was passed by technophobic MPs.
