Last of the famous international playboys.

I finally got the Vagabonds photos up! Darker than usual. These aren't as good as I'd like, basically because I don't know my way around this camera.

In any case, the camera's getting crappier. The play button doesn't work reliably and it keeps switching on in my pocket. I think it was built on a Friday afternoon. Must get around to returning it.

Freda is getting cleverer. She can reliably count to two and unreliably count to five or six! The CBeebies magazines are not only colourful and attractive, they're reasonably useful for parents to read to bright offspring and teach them how to match and count things and so on.

today.com is jumping and leaping and orbiting the shark. I need a new domain for News of the News. Probably a new name, as all the obvious domains for NotN are taken by domain spammers and only unobvious variants appear to be left. Name ideas please! (And are there any UK-serving ad networks that aren't Google and yet are worth more than shit?)
