  • Really nice round up of current-available iphone image editing software. I've been using my phone cam a lot more lately, on my no-a-moblog-honest-guv, and I really like some of the photos I've got out of it, mostly using Best Camera and CameraBag. On a quick play though, it's Tiltshift and Mill Color, both of whihcb are new to me that are going to help me most out of it.

  • You shitehawk motherfucker, Johnson. You lying little shitweasel. The obfuscations your spokefuckwits come out with aren't even tying to be convincing any more. Why are you comparing the year 2000, when the buses were quite badly fucked, with this year? Could it be because if we compare last year's figures, when the buses work pretty bloody well, it will become apparent that your argument is arrant toss? Why, yes, I think it is. And the fact that you think we won't notice is a mark of your filthy dimwitted arrogance. (In case anyone's wondering why I seem so exercised by this, it's partly because I am reminded of the fact that this man who I genuinely believe to be evil is running my city, and that always winds me up, and partly that as someone who has commuted by bus for most of the last ten years, I am in a position to know how much better the buses are now than they were, and I dread them going back to the way they were.)

  • I was slighly horrified to read Nick Davies (a journalist I normally have a lot of respect for, and consider his book Dark Heart to be mandatory reading) article in the Graudiad yesterday, which contained the elemetary error that just because a six month operation had failed to successfully prosecute anyone for sex trafficking in the UK, the problem wasn't that bad. Here is an excellent rebuttal to that piece, also from the Grauniad (which itself contains a link to Mr Davies original piece at the top, which is why I haven't linked it here.)

RPG filter?

So, I spend quite a lot of my spare time running, playing, or thinking about running or playing RPGs, and I do have a fair amount to say on the subject, and have been thinking about trying to set some of it down for a while now, and prompted by mindwanders, I thought I might see about getting on with it in the near future.

I am aware, however, that quite a number of my friends don’t have much interest in that kind of thing, so I thought I’d set up a filter for it, so as not to accidentally bore anyone rigid.

So: who wants in?
