- Flickr: National Media Museum’s Photostream
The National Media Museum at Bradford has joined the Flickr Commons project. Includes some fantastic spirit photography.
- BBC - Reading and Leeds Festivals 2008 - Seasick Steve
There’s tons of footage from Reading and Leeds here, but Seasick Steve is the only one I fancy watching.
- Order and Action Streams - Fine Structure
Cool stuff like this almost makes me want to switch back to Movable Type from WordPress. Don’t think I’ll ever shake the memory of how totally horrible it used to be back in the 1.x and 2.x days, though. My personal homepage, as they used to be called, and my Work weblog are both powered by MT, and it’s certainly hugely improved over the last few years - the template tag system is easy to grasp now, and the user interface is downright lovely - but I just don’t know if I can face the prospect of rebuilding more than a thousand posts here at Submit Response.
- Mike Davidson - LazyWeb Request: iPhone Power Miser
A proposed app for turning all the power draining/useful iPhone features on and off with one click (or should that be push? Poke? Jab? Finger?). This would need to be provided by Apple, and that they might be reluctant to admit the need for such a thing.
- Television Under The Swastika
Recently uncovered broadcasts on Nazi telly. They range from ludicrous to chilling.
- Julie Moult
Rubbish journalist fails to understand technology, that same technology is used to mock her. Tee hee.

Re Faith schools
As non-Jews would not send their offsprint to learn Hebrew & non-Mohammedans would refrain from sending their kids to Islamic schools, this demand really applies singularly to Catholic schools.
The St Francis Children Society recently had to negate their religion in order to continue functioning, now it is the Catholic schools. Why the envie of their excellent academic record thanks to the abominable word ‘discipline’? Haven’t we got enough failing schools?
Catholic schools are to take in non-Catholic teachers and children. Will the lobby group demanding this fund a classroom for these children, while the rest of the students are taught the basic dogmas. Will they provide the non-Catholic teachers with a religious background so that they may teach? You see, religion is not just in books, it’s a way of life.
On the other hand, envie may not be the underlying reason for this non-workable request. It may well be that these schools are to be forced to become private.
Please enlighten me

Re: Movable Type, I usually set things up so that the most popular pages (the front page, stylesheets, feeds) are the only pages that I republish. The rest are built dynamically so there’s no republish overhead. That functionality is built in to MT and pretty simple to configure as well.

Nick - yeah, I’d forgotten that MT now makes dynamic publishing simple (if I remember rightly, it used to be quite a tricky proposition). Yet another temptation to switch…
U Collman - erm, I’m not sure how your comment relates to the post. Did you mean to comment somewhere else on the site?
