Usefull tutorial fom Tinkernut.com that shows how to use a tool meant to secure access at wireless hotspots to fool the IPTV service. Will have to try this out, unfortunately it’s in the most useless of tutorial formats – the video.
I’ll get to this when I’m really desparate for a dose of The Daily Show.

If you're gratefl for nothing else in this world, give thanks that the UK doesn't have the personality cult thing going on for Estate Agents. British ones are bad enough, with their BHS suits, Wella hair products and small red cars – but at least we dont' have to deal with these: [link]

Everyone thinks it's going to be hair surrounding bat symbol, but it's the other way round. Photos and instructions should you want to do likewise. [link]

A former artist-in-residence with the St. Paul Public Works department, sculptor Steven Woodward came up with the idea of using art signs to slow down drivers.

I was just looking a website for an unsigned bands competition (Festibull), which got me thinking about bands I’ve been in. The longest running and most interesting was ‘The International’ — we didn’t gig much, but we were completely out-of-time modish art-rock. We used to have a practise room next to Mistress (very metal) and Coaster who became Dexter who became Walk.DontWalk (who were a totally different band – one member remains – then, very OCS).
We self-released a ‘single’ (EP, more a demo really) — so I thought I’d pop an mp3 onto the band competition thing to see what the process was. I have a copy upstairs, but I couldn’t be bothered to go and find it then rip to mp3. Maybe, maybe it’s already up on the interweb somewhere. So judicious searching later I found an abandonned geosites page belonging to one of our guitarists (who I haven’t seen for five years at least).
We did have a website (back in 1998 this was a odd thing), it’s long gone – or at least the WayBack Machine can only find a bit of it. (“Van Gough, Stan Collymore, The International, add us to the list. The explosion will be visible from space.”). I’ve now been motivated to scan the cover of the EP – although I can’t find a colour version of the cover (locked up in my box of old crap in the loft I think):
And of course, for posterity if nothing else, the mp3s… (I’m singing and playing bass — badly of course):
The International – Joan of Arc (was in the Go Gos)
The International – Freeze-Dry Me A Love Song
The International – The Hard-On Song
