    Common Sense For British Voters

    May 4, 2010 - By 

    Stephen Fry lays it out. Ultimately, vote how you like, but VOTE! How I will vote… « Stephen Fry. More important than my own political views or my own voting intentions are my hopes that nothing I say will stop you from choosing Conservative if you consider it the right way to cast your vote. It may be you will be voting Tory through dyed-in-the-wool instinct and loyalty or it may be that you are someone who once voted Labour or Lib Dem but who has decided that Cameron and the Conservatives will be best for Britain. It’s none of…

    An American Brand Name Heads to Mexico – After Taking Economic Recovery Funds | Crooks and Liars

    May 3, 2010 - By 

    Need to edit my “How old is your Whirlpool?” post to point to this… insult to American working people and consumers. An American Brand Name Heads to Mexico – After Taking Economic Recovery Funds | Crooks and Liars. Guess how Whirlpool is repaying American taxpayers for their support: Whirlpool Corporation is shutting down a refrigerator plant in Evansville, Indiana that will put 1100 people out of work. Are they having trouble selling refrigerators in these bad economic times? No. Whirlpool is profitable and still selling plenty of refrigerators here. But they want to ship these jobs to Mexico where they…

    Yet Another App

    May 3, 2010 - By 

    This one’s based on good old ecto, testing to see if it works better than the official WordPress app. Still no way to grab a link and start a post, the way Press It is supposed to work. No TinyMCE or Quicktags. Supposed to be image CSS possible. No landscape keyboard. Dumb “edit” button must be pressed to, you know, edit. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]

He’s there, he’s run into some of his list members, he’s That Mailing List Guy.  He runs a lot of mailing lists that cover areas of expertise that are mostly to do with the AS/400 iSeries Systemi whatever IBM calls their midrange computing platform this week. He got all packed last night, including the traditional “I can’t find my pants” crisis which fortunately…

    Bloghour

    May 2, 2010 - By 

    It’s far too long since I blogged… ANYTHING other than links from Google Reader or del.icio.us and so I propose to blog for an hour and then stop.

    Tulips at Sunset

    May 1, 2010 - By 

    Next week when these tulips "go off," the "landscaping" service at work will pull them out, throw them away (!) and stick something else in. Every year, I hope to catch them at it and bag up the bulbs to stick in the ground at home, never time it right.
