The lights above my desk are wired on the same circuit as the meeting room (god knows why) - I basically have no control over whether I sit in gloom or bathed in stasi-style interrogation lights.
It's getting really annoying with them flicking on and off unexpectedly every time there is a meeting :(
I think I might just take the bulb out and use a desk lamp instead.

the shower works fine, as do all the taps. It's the water supply that's fucked - it just randomly runs out sometimes, particularly in the mornings.

They were way ahead of their time, they still use quite a bit of the technology used on the old mini's now, and their VERY easy to tune up...as long as its not a complete rust bucket and it starts and ticks over quite well...its usualy quite a good little car...

Then I get to my dull mind numbing job

and then the only pc with potoatoshop in the

one guy piped up this morning with the simple yet eloquent statement:
yo! legalise it!!!
:o)
Now, I could be nasty and go straight out and use this as leverage, but two things have resulted from this article:
1) The statement from Downing Street regarding this read as follows:
‘We have plans to introduce an e-mail address for the Prime Minister in the near future, but we have set no date set yet.’
2) The journalist who wrote the piece asked me a very interesting question at the close of the interview. He asked if I would be willing to set up the service personally and you know, I actually had to think about that for a second or two. The answer? Yes, I would. In fact, yes I could.
I’ve done some research on the number of search queries made for Tony Blair’s email address and I’m estimating from that a total of 10,000 emails a month. I talked to a service provider that can not only handle the email, but also scan it for any nasty viruses along the way (being a published address, it will be vulnerable to attacks – automated and otherwise). These guys do some serious work at a local government level and have dealt with beefier back-ends and higher processing requirements than this.
I’m also in a unique position in that I know how to publicise the address in search engines. I could have the service set up in a week. A week. Search engine results would be live in Google within days following launch, and I’m pretty sure I can expedite quite a few other results given my list of contacts combined with the nature and importance of the content.
Haven’t set a date? How’s a week from tomorrow sound?
I’ll get back to you and let you know what the folks in charge have to say about it all.
