rather uninspired this morning - had nasty computing woes yesterday that had me googling all night and still unresolved - have read half the registry at this stage and its still all gobbledygook. My lan connection has died from my laptop - and i'm getting the weirdest error messages in my event log. i thinks it's related to dual nic cards on windows 2000 but that's sure not enough info to fix anything. 10:32:40 AM

EU data protection chiefs oppose data retention moves. Expensive, unworkable, invasive [The Register] - Tony Blair has lost the plot - not just on Iraq but on snooping. In response to Sept 11 (or so he'd have us think) the Blair Government wants ISPs to systematically store customer information for up to two years. The sort of stuff they're expected to store includes what websites you visit and who you email. Jeez 10:18:25 AM
