Harsh '70s reality.

• The evolution of online journalism.

• The New York Times whines that it should get money for reference links in Wikipedia. Maurice Jarre was unavailable for comment.

• Stupid Microsoft Tricks: when you open or even just right-click on a zip file on a remote network share in the Windows Explorer, you get this. Ah, yeah, thanks Windows, that's really helpful. (I understand what it's doing. It's still stupid.)

• NotN: Sceptics defeat homeopathy with homeopathic homeopathy.

arkady's shoulder is still buggered (pulled muscle, should be better in a week; serious codeine prescribed), so today I did manly things: clothes washed, dishes washed, girlfriend escorted to doctor, shopping, dinner cooked, family fed, NotN written ... and of course I made sandcastles for Freda to destroy. This is important.

Tomorrow I hope to attack the lounge at last. Then dinner with nyecamden and friends in the evening.
