Yarrr!

It's "National Talk Like A Pirate" Day today. Justin my Timberlakes.

Next week, however, I have designated as Inconvenience An Audi Driver Week.

I should, I suppose, use my time more wisely.

... too little time ...

... I've been doing my new hours for nearly two weeks, now. It gives me a little time in the evenings to sort out some music and things.

Suzi and I have been working on a song; there's a link to some rehearsal versions on the main site; we're well on the way to having it finished.

I'm also working on another song - I've not published any version of it up to now, but I'm hoping to have it finished by the weekend. It's got a looped intro; my pal Ed suggested something a bit harder than some breakbeats that I had on a CD from the front of Future Music magazine. I did a search for free drum loops and ended up at Flashkit.com - which had just the thing I needed.

It's making slow progress, though - putting the percussion down is tedious.

Other stuff? Well, here are some interesting things to see:

• Weird stories from all over the place - a bit Americo-centric.


• More odd goings-on - this time from Ananova.


• This man is clearly cross. It's like journalism from Luton On Sunday - our local rag.

One more pointless link before I disappear - this took up one of my lunchtimes - it's called Googlewhacking - typing two words into Google to try and get one result. Take, for example surfactant jailbird.
