Its always fun to try these personality tests. This takes about five minutes and is Jung and Myers-Briggs based. It makes me an Extrovert Intuitive Feeling Judging (44/50/50/11) type of person. Sometimes called 'The Teacher Idealist'. This is supposed to be around 3% of the population. I then did ANOTHER five minute test of the same design and emerged as a 'Rational' temperament useful in complex problem solving and involving the abstract concepts that underlie a particular case. The change was the F which became a T (feeling->thinking). So I suppose this entry just illustrates my personality at work!
Note to self to try again in a few weeks for consistency!
Check it out and see if you recognise yourself.

Digital Plumbers
We are all getting more and more technology in the home. For example we routinely use Wifi, Airport Extreme Music streaming and regular broadband as well as the taken for granted gigabit ethernet in ours. For some time, the Uk has talked about the emergence of digital plumbers to fix things for the less digerati and technorati enabled amonst us. So USA have beaten us with Geek Squad, which does just that!

Dept. of Prophesy
Douglas Adams, in 1999:
I expect that history will show 'normal' mainstream twentieth century media to be the aberration in all this.
'Please, miss, you mean they could only just sit there and watch? They couldn't do anything?
Didn't everybody feel terribly isolated or alienated or ignored?'
'Yes, child, that's why they all went mad. Before the Restoration.'
'What was the Restoration again, please, miss?'
'The end of the twentieth century, child. When we started to get interactivity back.'

Thanks to Kevin for the pointer.
Glastonbury for some
Ben will show up today, by train, to hook up for the car trip with Mel and John to the music festival. Tents and food stacked up ready to go, with 24 cans of beer for £10 as a principle supply.
