Admin update ... (Dec 03 2004 23:35 GMT) - I have now installed MT-Blacklist, a "plug-in" for Movable Type which screens out comments and trackback pings which mention known spam sites, and allows me to set up extra screens against spam. I'm going to see insha Allah how effective this is. I've got no intention of wading through hundreds of spam posts again, but the "deadness" of this blog the last couple of weeks has been a bit demoralising. |

Буш и Мушарраф обсудят проблемы борьбы с терроризмом (Dec 03 2004 23:35 GMT) - Сегодня в Вашингтоне состоится встреча президента США Джорджа Буша с президентом Пакистана Первезом Мушаррафом, прибывшим накануне с визитом в американскую столицу, сообщает РИА "Новости".

Dead Money Week #2 (Dec 03 2004 23:33 GMT) - My second poker tournament this year is tomorrow -- the Pokerati Invitational. Why is it invitational? Beats me -- probably holds down the sharks, and makes dead money like me feel like part of the club. You should see the lineup -- one guy who's already won a seat to the WSOP 2005, one guy who probably will, one guy who wins online tournaments with boring regularity, Dan, the youthful Philadelphia thuggee sportswriter, %c.: The format will be No-Limit Texas Hold'em. |

Cuebeck Funny Pictures (Dec 03 2004 23:33 GMT) - Hi, Canucks! Four pages of pictorial hilarity at the expense of Canadian lefties -- great way to kill 10 minutes. Not that I have 10 minutes to kill, but I needed some light reading. Found it at Teem Bleah... I've actually been to Quebec -- nice place, and great people (but cold, cold, cold). |

clearly it's time for some actual reporting (Dec 03 2004 23:33 GMT) - Dr. Rivka points out that the sources for the BBC story on NYC kids on experimental protocols for AIDS drugs are not precisely what you'd call in the mainstream of medical thought.Granted, this doesn't necessarily mean that all of their facts are wrong. It does mean that we almost certainly haven't heard the whole story.It's a shame we don't have any media outlets or headquarters in New York who could look into this. |
