• Retro games, animated. We need versions with these as the actual sprites.

• "Detox" is bollocks.

• For our Australian viewers: Peter Russell-Clarke blooper montage (courtesy catbiscuit).

• When you're a very naughty company, the government send around the Accountancy Police. Huge PDF report. I'd never realised auditors' reports could be so riveting. (courtesy _nicolai_, who appreciates a good LARTing)

2007: Fatherhood. Good lord. On May 19th, I watched my daughter being born. SPLOOSH! That and the subsequent seven months overshadow everything else ever.

arkady and Freda went to Wales Friday, and I went down the pub for a lovely dinner date with hazyjayne, her Ikea haul in tow. redcountess and I spent Saturday hanging out and pottering about tidying the house and eating pizza and watching backed-up videos and ripping CDs. It's good. Liz feels oddly unoccupied not having a Freda to wrangle.

I was going to release the mouse, but there's less rain forecast for Sunday.

My MP3 has not broken yet. You can get hand-rolled firmware for these things. People will hack ANYTHING.

Cha cha heels.

• Geek horror stories wanted concerning the BANCStar programming language. Solid references would be nice too. I wrote that article on Saturday for amusement's sake and would like to fatten it up.

• Emma Clarke has done sat nav clips as well.

• The RIAA does it again.

Tickly throat, gah. DO NOT WANT. I let the mouse go today, scampering quickly off into the churchyard, hopefully not to get eaten too soon. Fetched an Idler book from flickgc from bohemiancoast's (and an Ikea toy that should fascinate Freda nicely), where we had a conversation entirely about children. The more boring I get, the more it amuses me.

Last chance on the poll!
