Too true: The Jack Stone Incident. [via Russell]. My kids do the same with Playmobil. So I regularly put on my UN cap and dive in to save whole populations of "little people" from being forcefully resettled.

Browsing: The new version of Opera is available including the new feature: small screen rendering [shift f11]. My first impression is that this could be useful if Opera is incorporated into mobile phones or pdas. Obviously I don't need it on a PC. I've also downloaded Phoenix (thanks Frank). Wow the rendering is fast!

Mistake prevention - update: Well I did go and buy the new Phil Collins album Testify (no link to protect the innocent) in the end. And guess what - it will not play (at all) on my iBook. I am really ..... angry about that (although after listening to the album on the regular player...perhaps not). Anyway - the interesting thing I noticed (and something I didn't know) is that the reason the CD says it will play on most PC drives is that the player for PCs is actually included on the CD (complete with an autostart file for all you Windows lovers). The music is also included as compressed audio files so that the player will then be able to crank them out. Why do we have to suffer because the record industry was asleep while the boat was leaving?
