Sinister Goings On
I got a very sinister email yesterday. 
It was ostensibly very pleasant. I've been organising an open day for our Northampton Jesus Centre, and in the course of this sent out letters to various organisations that we have contact with.
I got a very nice email from a lady who is part of a voluntary organisation called the Sunflower centre, wishing me all the best for the day. She obviously works for the Northampton Police - because that's where the email comes from.
At the bottom is the following disclaimer :
Northamptonshire Police monitors Internet and email activity.
Now I'm sure they mean that monitor emails sent to and from their server - but why do I need to know about them monitoring internet use ? [1]... unless they're trying to scare me of course.
By the way - I saw a great quote on the Dr Dobbs Python URL :
(Responding to a quotaton of Sturgeon's law: "Ninety percent of everything is crap.") "fwiw, this is of course why google displays 10 results on the first page. according to the law, one of them is always exactly what you want."
—Fredrik Lundh
The quote on PHP is pretty funny as well 
| [1] | It only means anything if they're referring to internal internet use - they can't monitor external internet use. So why put it as a message in a signature on outgoing mail ? |

My Spiritual Side
Or at least my spiritual section... The next section to be converted to the new look is The Spiritual Section.
This will shortly replace the old Esoteric Section, which will soon be consigned to the annals of history. 
How sad !
You might also note that there's a funky counter thing on each page, to keep a track of how many visitors I have to each of the different pages.

The Old Blog Archives
There was so much ancient wisdom distilled into my old blog, that I couldn't let it just creep ignominiously into the pages of cyber-history. More to the point I'm still getting some hits from google with the old entries. Here are the archives of my previous Blogger based blog.
