Quote Of The Day (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - A good manager is a bi-directional bullshit filter. He/she blocks distracting crap from raining down on programmers, allowing only the needed information to pass through. Meanwhile, he prevents the programmers from terrorizing management with gobbledygo ... |

Consistent? I'm just doing business with someon... (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - Consistent? I'm just doing business with someone in San Francisco, who's doing some marketing and other material for me, and I found this University of Cambridge website on ISO issues (paper sizes and such). And I was quite struck by the text: Globalization starts with getting the details right. Inconsistent use of SI units and international standard paper sizes remain today a primary cause for U. |

Can you be creative and love? (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - One of the highlights of attending SXSW 2004 was going to a very entertaining blogging panel. Amongst the panellists was a very funny Justin Hall, who struck me as being a unique blend of someone who could be entertaining, funny, *and* knowledgable at the same time. In other words, someone I could aspire to liking, if I had heard of him before that day. Then amongst the morass of weblinks that get thrown at everyone all the time, I forgot to check out his website. (This is before I discovered Bloglines and the point of RSS feeds - to help you catch up on your web reading! |

Multi-lingual pop songs (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - On the Chris Moyles radio show this morning, the "gang" riffed on that classic early-90s two-albums-wonder Martika, and played a Japanese version of Love ... Thy Will Be Done. And howled at Martika singing Japanese lyrics with an English chorus, as if this was typical of the oddity of Japan. Except ... I'm pretty much certain that outside of English-speaking countries, an awful lot of the native pop does incorporate English and other multiple languages into songs. |

Oh for heavens' sake... (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - Oh for heavens' sake. BBC NEWS | Blogging 'a paedophile's dream' says a forensic psychologist adviser to the Scottish parliament. What next? Banning pens and paper on the grounds that if children write things, it might find its way over to that nasty child catcher? How on earth did paedophiles become such a bogeyman in today's society? |

End of the world ... time for a music video (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - It's the end of the world ... so it's time for Snow Patrol to do the video to that rather fabby song, Chocolate. They say it's all about madness, but I beg to differ. Certainly, it's much better than Ultravox's video on the same theme, with the added poignancy of some 9/11-esque imagery. Also pays "homage" (ie it rips off) to Don McKellar's great film Last Night. |

That Tsunami relief concert... (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - Since I spent 14 hours yesterday mostly monitoring/watching the Tsunami Relief Concert to provide on-demand broadband video clips (with my colleagues of course), I thought I might as well give my knee-jerk reactions of the artistes involved. Although of course I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE INSTEAD, if it wasn't for my cursed multi-skilling abilities. Rant to come. Katharine Jenkins - nice voice, but the songs seemed a bit too bland and were too anthemic at this early stage in the proceedings. Of course, at one point I shouted across the office: |

A 14-hour work day... (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - Well, it was a 14-hour workday producing on-demand broadband video clips from the Tsunami Relief Concert - and aside from the fact I've still got a glowing wristband on that would have allowed me backstage access throughout the entire gig and I had to babysit a video encoder instead - it was good fulfilling fun. Pumping out 8 hours of video content, checking it for swearing gives one a huge sense of achievement. Although not being able to spot when Badly Drawn Boy repeats a song twice is not one of my music appreciation highlights. |

Tsunami concert goers start arriving (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - tsunami concert goers start arriving Originally uploaded by badlydubbedboy. Like ants to a sugar cube on a picnic. And just when it gets interesting, and the music starts pumping out the stadium speakers, I have to go to the office to pump out 8 hours of broadband-quality on-demand video. Which will be fun, but not as fun as working backstage. |

How do you stop being a student? (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - My sister popped round briefly in the post-Christmas haze of festivities. Having spent a couple of days in her suburban house stuffed full of toys, cute crabs, pillows and other girly things, I thought it was a bit rich of her to turn around in my penthouse suite overlooking the river and announce imperiously: "You're still living like a student!" I'm still not sure by which she reached this statement - probably because I still live with flatmates, rent the flat and don't own my own house. (Although of course, I do - it's just not the one I live in). |

First Welsh podcast? (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - Damn, Suw beat me to the first Welsh-language podcast. I think. I'm just thankful that this achievement in the Welsh language was not achieved by a remote geek somewhere in Welshpool extolling the virtues of php over perl. Although I guess for added obscurity, said podcast should have been done in a North walian accent. Now I'm waiting for complaints from ardent Welsh nationalist fascists that Suw not actually being Welsh, it doesn't count... |

The last time I trust iTunes (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - Not knowing who every single band is on the setlist at Cardiff's forthcoming Tsunami Relief benefit concert, I thought I'd better try and update myself as to what the cool kids of today are listening to. And iTunes has a handy sample of all music bands in the UK. Or so I thought. A search on Embrace or Feeder on iTunes UK comes up with lots of bands, but none of them being the actual Embrace or Feeder. At least, as far as I know. |

That Call on Me video - not Eurotrash... (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - There was always something about the "seminal" Call on Me: Eric Prydz music video that seemed distinctly Eurotrash/Europop about it. The complete disassociation from anything else, the lack of outdoor shots, the Euro-friendly look of the dancers. It just looked like something that was shot by the geniuses behind the Menthos adverts, or Cillit-Bang, for that matter... However, it turns out that the only thing European about it was Mr. |

What does it take to impress people? ;) (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - One of the reasons I ended up working in what I do is because in my adolescent trapped-in-rural-Wales-mindset I could airily say something like "Yeah, I'm filming some backstage stuff this weekend" and those around me could coo, swoon and generally offer me lots of hugs and kisses and fantastic sex. Or maybe not. Lately, bizarrely, work has been fantastic. I've been kept busy doing relatively interesting stuff for a change, and I've had to exercise video editing skills I haven't really had to use since 1995. So I'm a bit rusty, but as a SoCal girl would say, it's all good. |

Everybody Hurts: "Nobody Knows" (Jan 28 2005 18:38 GMT) - Hirokazu Kore-eda's splendid, crushing new film "Nobody Knows" floats like a feather yet finally plunges like a dagger. It's clear from its visuals and textures, as well as its heart-stopping freeze-frame closing shot, that Kore-eda saw more than a little bit of Truffaut when his idea for this film, gleaned from an infamous true story about a houseful of abandoned kids in Tokyo in the late Eighties, began to gestate some 15 years ago. Yet unlike other " |

J Train Death (Jan 28 2005 18:37 GMT) - A woman was run over by a J Train yesterday. The MTA believe that the woman froze to death "before being struck" - her body was only seen just before the train came into the 104th Street station in Richmond Hill, Queens. The train did hit the brakes, but three cars had passed over her body. She appeared to be homeless, and the city medical examiner will be doing an autopsy to find out the cause of death. Gothamist hasn't been on that stop, but we guess it might have been an outside station - although inside some underground stations, it's been very frosty. |
