• Fight Mandelson's Digital Economy bill. Join the Open Rights Group. £5/mo direct debit. They kick arse.

• On which topic, I wish I'd written this.

• Personally, I blame Fight Club.

• A marching band does "Personal Jesus."

• NotN: In full: The Queen's Speech; Tesco Value Internet enters the broadband market; European Union renamed "Greater Belgium".

I think that's enough Roxy Music. Early Years suggests why they were slightly musically interesting at the time, but oh God the lyrics.

I had a nice date with nyecamden on Wednesday evening. That he lives in staggering distance of work helps.

Freda has been recovering nicely and is much perkier and more playful. Her four front teeth are no longer there, so she has these two fangs and a slight lisp. She's still puzzled by the missing teeth.

Today we do more house shuffling. w00t!

A question for the geeks: what is the use case for accepting OpenID in business? Why does hardly anyone do so? Boss's boss had a customer ask if we were accepting it. It's hard enough finding providers; accepters are like hen's teeth. I can think of all sorts of caveats off the top of my head, I'm looking for examples of using it. All I know of are blogging sites that accept it as easier than filling in your name and email each time. Dreamwidth is pretty much the greatest user I know of. Is there anyone in the world who accepts it in a context where money may be involved?

Work conversation: "Right, so what's that program written in?" "Their own poop, at a guess."

stackoverflow/serverfault accept it, as does ORA's Bookworm site. That'd be about all I can think of that I've come across, bound to be others.

But none of those involve any money changing hands.
