[Giles Turnbull]

Christian Neukirchen's Trivium blog. Looks a bit different now,
doesn't it? He invented tumblelogging, you know. I interviewed him
back then, for the Torygraph I think. Nice bloke.

Here's the code. I don't understand any of it, obviously.

Some lovely funny gags in last week's B3ta image challenge: Star Wars
in the UK (the first page, at any rate - they're the best ones)

Here's how the other Giles prints the weather on his small printing device

Alex Dong has a rant about Googe+

... I agree with almost every word, especially the stuff about too
many calls to action. I'm staying away from G+ because I feel like
it's *nagging* me, endlessly and repeatedly: "Hey you, Giles+! Add a
comment! Complete your profile! +1 this random thing! Do! Do! Share!
Share! Complete your profile!"  -- ugh.

They're building a new DLR station at Pudding Mill Lane, because the
existing one sits on where the Crossrail tunnel will emerge into the
daylight before heading into Stratford station.

... I like that kind of thinking. The kind where people go: "Ah,
there's a light rail station on top of where we need to dig a hole for
an underground line. So let's just build a new station next door, then
dig the hole." That's getting shit done, that is.
