Ah, reaping the rewards of adding all those extra Pop Idol Links. Here's the kind of feedback you get from appreciative youngsters : "oh wow! and my gareth group is on there too!! how wicked! that is soo cool.". 'Wicked' I am duly informed is a teenspeak compliment these days, changed days, used to be reserved for evil step-mothers in fairy tales. Kids are the best audience for a product, ever. Especially when you get primary school kids using something you've written, eyes wide as saucers, pointing to the screen, whizzing the mouse around faster than many pros. Llook Miss! Any grief in building the damn thing just evaporates and you realise what's important...the user. 11:28:40 PM    

Woody Allen. "Interestingly, according to modern astronomers, space is finite. This is a very comforting thought-- particularly for people who can never remember where they have left things." [Quotes of the Day] 10:11:09 PM    

We Bissums

"We Bissums in Dundee has been awarded GBP1,310 by the National Lottery Community Fund. The money will go to providing computer equipment and fund training for members." [Scotsgay]
I'm really delighted for them. They are an indomitable bunch typifying the feisty spirit of our Dundee women. Against all the odds, with many changes of personnel over the years with 'office space' in friends' living rooms and sustained by copious fish suppers they continue produce a brilliant, lively newsletter of events and issues and raising health awareness campaigns in their locale and the newsletter is distributed all across the city and around Scotland. How the hell they've managed to do that all these years with effectively no funding is anyone's guess. They are worth every bloody penny. 1:44:48 AM
