QOTD: Mark Steel on the Brown/Obama meeting

I always like reading Mr Steel--I don't always agree with him (y'know, trot and all) but he is damn funny. In an article about Obama's triangulation exercise:

when Obama meets Gordon Brown next week it's going to make Brown feel even worse. Maybe Obama will advise him "Gordon, you need to come up with a snappy three-word slogan that sums up your demeanour, the way I did with 'Yes we can'." And as a result the Labour Party's slogan for the next election will be "Where am I?"

Sounds about right for the moment. Or in the aftermath, regarding their MPs--"where'd they go?"...

Wordpress 2.6: a Bloggers dream...

So, after procrastinating for ages, I decided yesterday to get around to installing the most recent versions of Wordpress and play around. But life got in the way, good job I waited really, as they released version 2.6 today so I've been playing with that. It's good, it's so very very good. If you're currently using Google's Blogger service, now is very much the time to think about switching and getting set up on your own domain and server^[1].

Specifically, I've updated Warlord TaKtiX^[2]. ( What had previously stumped me was complete in 10 minutes, and done better than I thought possible )

The posting interface is clean and quick, they've ( done other cool stuff and really beaten LJ and Blogger down a peg or two )

I approve. I really do. I may dig out the old crossposting plan again. Maybe. Definitely play with the idea anyway—so looking forward to working on this for proper paying clients.
