- De pretpunkers van Green Day, die in de jaren '90 samen met The Offspring aan de wieg stonden van de punk-revival, brengen dit jaar een zevende studio-album uit. Daarmee zou de band een eind willen maken aan drie jaar platenstilte, want het laatste wapenfeit van de groep ("Warning") dateert al van 2000. Toch zullen de fans zich het lange wachten volgens frontman Billy Joe Armstrong niet beklagen. "Mensen zullen echt omvergeblazen worden door deze plaat, " schreef de zanger op zijn website. "Ik bedoel: |

- SBS has a story here on the 25th National Futsal (indoor) Championships being held here in Canberra overthe coming week. At first I had hoped this would mean the Futsal Slab on Commonwealth avenue would at last see service as a futsal slab. Sadly it's an indoor tournament, so we will just have to keep holding our breath. |

- Well we don't think of ourselves as a blog (weblog), and we didn't seek nomination. Nonetheless, RiotACT has been nominated for the ACT division of the 2004 Australian Blog Awards. The page is worth looking at for the other nominees, most of which seem to have only a peripheral, at best, interest in the ACT. Voting details are on the page, do what you think is right. |

- Comrade Stanhope's web monkeys have finally bestirred themselves to put up this media release from Friday in which the Comrade finally gives the go ahead (pending other appeals, protests and court actions of course) to the ACT Prison. The emphasis on rehabilitation in the media release is the sort of thing we don't hear often enough in prison debate, and it will be good to stop sending our minor crims off to Goulburn where they move with the big time and come back worse than they went away. Of course it's easy to be high-minded in theory before the thing is built. |

- The Canberra Times has a story here in which the residents of Red Hill whinge long and loud about having the Quamby Youth Detention Centre near their expensive homes. It seems the two escapes in five years have made them afeared of walking their dogs. Might it be cheaper to buy them all bigger dogs than to move the centre? Having Quamby in the most expensive part of town is actually one of the things I like about Canberra. |

Too bad it will also make the Net slower and less secure." His article goes on to explain that all IPv6 code is untested and therefore insecure; that IPv6 makes encourages 'peer-to-peer based copyright violation systems... |

- First Post: We can now show or hide the status bar on _screen. What I would like to see is that the statusbar would be an object, integrated as it already is, where we can add or remove panels as we would see fit for our apps, and where we can place text, pictures or whatever. So, after set status bar on we could do something like: oPanel = _screen. |
