Le point sur nos opérations, un mois après le tsunami (Jan 31 2005 15:58 GMT) - Un peu plus d'un mois après la catastrophe qui a frappé plusieurs régions d'Asie du sud-est, Médecins Sans Frontières publie un rapport détaillé de ses actions de secours et d'assistance auprès des sinistrés. Depuis le début de la crise, 200 volontaires internationaux de Médecins Sans Frontières et 2000 m3 de matériel ont été envoyés sur le terrain pour porter secours aux populations sinistrées. Aujourd'hui, 127 volontaires internationaux travaillent à Aceh, en Indonésie, et 36 au Sri (...) |

Will people please stop using the Internet to "make money" ?! (Jan 31 2005 15:57 GMT) - That famed UK pop-gossip/tittle-tattle site Holy Moly talks to MediaGuardian. And reveals throughout that rather than being some kind of seedy teenager trapped in the toilets of Media Whorehouse Central, he is in fact a married 30-something Northerner who wants to "turn the site into a successful business model". Any donations you make to the site, goes to him to buy more fashionable clothes. Call me insane and hippy-esque, but it's disgraceful. I do wish people would stop seeing the Internet through nothing but green-paper-tinted glasses. |

Can you be creative and love? (Jan 31 2005 15:57 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 31 2005 15:57 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 31 2005 15:57 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 31 2005 15:57 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 31 2005 15:57 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 31 2005 15:57 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 31 2005 15:57 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 31 2005 15:57 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). |
