Breaking news…

This breaking news from The Onion is a salutary tale to anyone programming a radio station this Christmas.
Brilliant. And a good piece by Jacobs Media in Radio & Records recently includes this gem… “Saying things like ‘Green Day is next’ or ‘We’ll be right back’ is the kind of crap that is just not going to cut it.” Amen to you, Jacobs Media!
The Onion’s video news is consistently excellent too, by the way: it has a home on my iPod. Great parodies of cable news and hideous GMTV-style breakfast shows. It’s on Joost, too, if anyone still uses that.

Not so brilliant has been a mystery tummy bug which has laid me low over Christmas, meaning a distinct lack of beer. I think I’m on the mend. Thanks for asking.
Being house-bound, I’ve been “pleasure-coding” for a project which is now almost ready for alpha-release; however, what’s not so pleasurable is an apparent 72GB of usage of my broadband connection in the last 30 days (I blame, among other things, Miro) which has made Demon Internet throttle my connection back, without the warning they promise on their website. Yeuch. Still, better that than being cut off, I suppose… but the web’s an awfully slow place at 128k.
