Thanks to a generous donation from InfringementSupport.org I now have the domain JosephFarthing.com. My t-shirt website Kilt Handstands.com is almost completed as well, and you can view a preview at kilthandstands.com/new site. Please tell me what you think.

Hercules, the fallen son of mighty Zeus, was challenged by Eurystheus to accomplish twelve great feats, all of which he achieved with great mastery. However, it was in the thirteenth and final challenge that Hercules met his match; to pick kick-ass music for a classic rock show. Where the son of Zeus failed, we shall succeed. ASRock - the gods command you to listen!

Every week, we'll be drilling directly into the deep core of the earth, where all the best rock music is stored. Our master extractor-wizards know best how to channel the deep energy contained within a guitar solo or rockin' beat and deliver it straight to your internets.

Classic rock, and more, every Monday at 11am on Aberdeen Student Radio - aberdeenstudentradio.com.

Someone passed me a link to a Times article about the new Thomas Deacon city academy in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, which is a 2,200 pupil secondary school without a playground. WTF? Does anyone else think that's crazy?

As a PFI funded "Academy" (ie a private school that still receives government funding, but is also corporate managed) I get the feeling that this isn't so much of a school but an educational investment, designed to turn the financiers a significant profit. A small-scale school with a large number of pupils strikes me as corporate-style streamlining. Yes, it's efficient if you're worried about gaining as much per-head pupil funding per £ invested and land bought, but it's not really great for education, is it?

Got facebook today, found it mildiy interesting. I do wonder, however, why it doesn't have an 'enemy' feature, like Slashdot. Imagine if you could add swathes of people as your enemy, team up with the Enemies of your Enemies and start some kind of online face-war. Send gifts? I want to send MISSILES! Powerful face-missiles that will obliterate entire parts of other people's profiles, creating fallout that will ruin the reputation of their friends.

I can but dream.
