.: ShaolinTiger - Kung-Fu Geekery :.

Well, now that the excitement has really gone out of this guest blogging thing, and my DIY post seems to have been received with fairly much the response I anticipated, ie, man, thats dull... I am left with little choice but to ramble on about nothing in particular, its been an ok day. Had an interview, seemed to go well but you can never tell. Rates quite good. Other then that life is fairly much plodding along at its normal rate, one day every 24 hours.

Its been sunny today, though damn its cold. These icey winds they mention on the weather programs aren't much fun, and are leaving my hands looking like I am about 90 years old. I'm going through e-45 like there is no tomorrow, which, I am sure there will be, so don't worry your self unduly.

In true English style I have managed to cover the weather again, its involuntary I assure you, but to be honest its about the most changeable thing in my life. That is how essentially boring I am. Why on earth any one has read this far through such rambling rubbish, I don't know. But its your mind your putting this in to, I thankfully and getting it out

I can't think of any thing else to say really, its actually really difficult to talk about nothing. I have no idea how so many people spend so much time doing it, but I guess its a talent I don't really have. Try as I might, I just can think of any thing interesting.. Sorry about that, any idea's can be sent to me on a post card at the following address:

Oh, while trying to think of a title for this post the wombels came to mind, and I have to say they are so cool, we are not talking old people here, but the fury trash collectors that live in wimbaldon, some times on a quite night you can actualy hear them singing. But they do do an excelent job of keeping the place clean. What they do with all that garbage I am not sure.

Suanie, is right about one thing, this guest blogging is kind of fun. I can just say any thing I like and it really doesn't matter. Well, I say that but if Shaolin gets back and has no readers, I might very well have to find a large rock to hide under. Unless, of course I cunningly blame it all on Suanie...
I found quite an interesting article on the bbc today.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4644540.stm

What a total gimp, sent it to the wrong addresses, and then tried to recall it. God, we are not all use out look and exchange you monkey, so the recall thing doesn't work. Still, funny. Thats what you get for using an address book and mailing lists

And then there is http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4630694.stm I am not sure what to make of that, is google right or wrong. I guess it depends on what information they really want. If it was just a list of words, and search rates then its not a big deal. Unless they want the ip of the person searching as well. Then that would be a bit out of order.

“Privacy groups say any sample could reveal the identities of Google users indirectly”. I like privacy groups, they say so many stupid things. Thats a statement with just so much commitment. It goes on to say that it worries them because the government want to make more use of Internet data to fight crime. So, they are against fighting crime, no wonder they are so into privacy.

One of the things they want is a list of sites for the keywords, so one wonders why some little government monkey doesn't just google it? Or is it to complicated a task? I am sure they could get a temp or some thing to do the job....

I am not I guess really in to the whole privacy thing, I don't worry who is watching my Internet activity any more then I worry about the hundreds of CCTV cameras watching me as I walk around the streets. Its not like I have any thing to hide. Ok, I have my secretes, card numbers, passwords and such but I really couldn't care less who knows I visited the BBC today, or I surfed porn last week. I don't even mind the idea of ID cards, I have to carry my passport as ID any way, and some a small card that fits in my wallet would be better. Oh, hold on... thats a driving license, so for most people they have to carry that if they drive, which is to say when they go any where. But ye, so, I don't see what all the fuss is about.

God, talk about getting all serious, on a different note I have next to no ability to spell, so I thought in the name of being understood I would use a spell checker, Interestingly Open Office doesn't think “Google” is a word, or “blog”. I can go with the blog, but isn't “google” a word officially now?

Right, well, I mentioned the other day on my own blog that one of my cats has given birth, ye, that right the miracle of creation happened right here.... for 12 HOURS!!!!

Any way, wont go in to details but obviously these new mouths to feed are going to increase the food budget. So I have come up with a money saving plan. Spiced Kittens.

In a way I am lucky, because the mother quite enjoys spicy food, so we can start flavoring the kittens right now. If I feed her chillies with all her food the chillies should, in theory make it to the kittens.

Give it a couple of weeks of that and it should be like a marinade. Soft and tender spiced kittens. Failing that though once they reach a worth while size it will probably be worth stuffing them with more chillies before cooking.

To cook your own spicy kittens simply place your stuffed kittens on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 200 degrees C for 20 to 25 minuets or until golden brown.

Its important to note that you should prepare you kittens as soon as possible, but depending on the size of dinner party and the size of your litter you may have to wait several weeks. In the even to using older kittens it is important you remove all hair, as any one knows that owns a cat, there is nothing worse then getting a cat hair in the back of your throat.

So here we are, guest blogging. Why? Well I would love to believe its for my amazing writing, or because I have some thing actually interesting to say, but sadly, neither are true. Alas, I suspect its because no one else was interested, or he just thought unleashing my mindless rambelings on an unsuspecting world might be funny.... for him...
Any way, all that aside, what can I say? While ShaolinTiger is off on holiday, get a nice tan no doubt some of us are sitting over here in London looking at a nice layer of cloud. But at least its not raining. Actually, the weather has been quite good for the last couple, quite sunny, if not very warm.

Wow, can you believe the most interesting thing I have to talk about is the weather, how sad am I?

Suanie, thinks they have taken over, but little did they know.... I'll fight you for it

Now, now, must behave my self. Shaolin is bigger then me, and he might beat me...

So in a more sensible vain I was reading some thing on the BBC that I think sums up living in London.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4638790.stm

Only in London would a a bunch of people trying to save a whale get parking tickets. You can just imagine the little yellow peril sitting there, every half hour or so going down the line of cars and putting tickets on them, while at the same time keeping an eye out for any of the people down on the beach coming back. I would hope, that at least in the name of good publicity, they wont be made to pay.

Ok, so now I have covered that, the interesting stuff. There isn't much else I can think of to say. I could twitter on about my self, my relatively dull, and interesting life. Or I could just go....
