Movable Type 3.32
Well after a couple of false starts I think I’ve now got Movable Type version 3.3 (3.32 indeed) working. I had some false starts earlier which gave a “PreSave failed” error. Googling it really didn’t help, and I was flumoxed. But I think that I failed to update a folder since a second reinstall seems…

She’s there to publicise a Keep Britain Tidy initiative to get people to stop dropping food on our streets.

Galloway in Beirut
“Gorgeous” George Galloway is presenting a couple of shows for Talksport live from Beirut this weekend in what his station has described (according to Mediaguardian) as “the first live radio phone-in broadcast from a war zone”. They are kidding aren’t they? Will he be hosting his show from southern Beirut? And did I not read…

Gambling
I read this great extract from Mike Atherton’s new book, Luck Be a Lady Tonight: Gambling – A Story of Triumph and Disaster, in the paper this morning. And, yes, that is ex-England cricketing captain Mike Atherton. I may actually have to buy this book.

Spoof Ad
Shh. I’ll have to take this down very shortly. It’s just a fun little video I made today at work to help with something we’re doing. It features the Virgin Radio breakfast team amongst others and Chris Goldson came up with the concept – I just shot and edited it.

The New Solar System
I love the fact that Wikipedia is already completely up to date following today’s news that Pluto is no longer a fully-fledged planet. It’s now a dwarf planet, although I’ll be sad to lose it somehow.

IPTV and the IAB
This week’s New Media Age makes quite interesting reading for various reasons – some of which I’ll go through separately, not least the interview with David Elstein. But there’s an interesting piece by Guy Phillipson of the Internet Advertising Bureau (IAB), an organisation who’s role is to “work with our members to ensure marketers can…

Entourage on ITV2
Just a note to say that Entourage is starting on ITV2 (not ITV4 as I at first thought) on September 10. They’ve got some kind of viral/microsite up live now. Not sure about the VIP access bit. But it looks like they’re going to seriously promote this show one way or another.

Polling Figures
Fascinating piece in this morning’s Guardian with a new poll showing the Tories leading Labour by nine points now. Tony’s got to be worried. How long’s he going to hang on and let the Tories extend their lead? What I find especially interesting are some of the other questions that were asked at the same…

Cloudwatching
Over the last couple of days I’ve been trying out some time lapse experiments with my video camera. Typically, it’s only recently that I’ve discovered that my camcorder (Sony TRV30E) does it: there’s a mode called Interval Record. Anyway, here’s my first effort in all its glory. It’s a bid strange at the start because…
