Channel 4 gets it right this time
“The Simpsons” is voted the best kids programme of all time.
And someone just said that it’s the best TV show of all time. Ye know, they might be right.
Nice to see “The Muppet Show” and “Danger Mouse” do so well.
But “Bagpuss”? Never liked that show. Nothing ever bloody happened.
And a huge relief that they had “The Tomorrow People”. For years I thought I had dreamt that show!

Whew!
My BMI is a disaster. I started on the road to reduction last thursday, but if I fail then it’s good to know this:
Pleasantly Plump May be OK.

It's a miracle
No, just more dumb blind desperation.
Living, as I do, so close to the famous moving statues of Ballinspittle, I love it when other nationalities can act as clueless as us.
Statues moving? No? Squint. Moving now? Nah. Here drink this paint thinner. Moving now? Yeah! Wow, that’s amazing, tell the world.

Web Archive - Spooky
I’ve seen plenty of mentions of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine but I only just tried it for the first time today. Bloody ell! Put in www.conoroneill.com and it gives old snapshots of my web-site going back to 2001. You can never leave your mistakes behind. I was disappointed tho that the old Integral Design web-site was never archived. It would have been fun to look back at that awful spinning gold 3-D integration symbol I put on our very first web-page in ‘96.

First Post from w.bloggar
I’m doing a trial of a client-hosted tool called w.bloggar to see if it can work reliably with Blogger and reduce the overhead of making posts. Seems fine so far for the simplistic stuff I do.

del.icio.us
I’ve been trying out del.icio.us for a week now and I still don’t get what the big deal is. Yeah it’s handy to have the online bookmarks. The RSS feed is kinda irrelevant for oneself but I suppose if someone was stalking me, they might be interested in what sites I am interested in and what tags I put on them. I take back what I said about tags in my previous Bloglines post below - they are actually handy for finding stuff by category (like GMail).

Just discovered in the Dead Sea Scrolls
Sam’s earlier homage to Yakult as read out on the Gerry Ryan radio show a few months back. I cannot believe this did not win a prize.
-------------------------- Let me share with you my tale of woe, It happened not that long ago.<o:p></o:p>
I went to the cinema with my date,<o:p></o:p>
My tummy was in a terrible state.<o:p></o:p>

I eat too much, I was such a glutton,<o:p></o:p>

Pot Noodle
No more Princess Bride quotes I’m afraid.
Sam entered a world-class poem into a Gerry Ryan Pot Noodle competition today. Unfortunately she was not selected to go on air (unlike her last piece of genius which was up there with T.S. Eliot and she got to read out to the listening public). So, in order to give it the publicity it deserves, here it is in it’s entirety.
