matgbThe world's flags given letter grades - genius. Incredibly funny and so so true.
Also, BritBlog Roundup - once more, with added![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mapp goodness; wasn't going to, but the Phishing thing just needed a bit of promotion; any news on that yet Mark? From there, I find rhodri, who wrote one of the more amusing articles in the Indy recently, and that post gives a more lighthearted breakdown of the picture. Some of the comments on that thread are surreal, but this one (the nominated one) is even better. Taking the piss out of Innocent has to be done, even if we do love their overpriced products — I sometimes do copyrighting for work, and the question thing is deliberate; "do you?" is more effective at atention grabbing than "do this", although I insist on it being a more suggestion thing: "Spare room? Host students for..." (I forget the rest).
Have I mentioned I hate being ill? Yesterday, when I woke up I felt a little groggy, by the time I'd done the ablutions I knew I was coming down with summat. Nothing serious, just a head cold, but I fell all gummed up and Lemsip isn't helping :-(
Ah well. Oh; LJ client users — do any of them allow for a better editing of filter groups option than the web interface? It's a pain figuring out that interface and getting it right, want to sort my view filters and my post filters out to be a little more sane...

Date: 2006-May-14, Sunday 14:31 (UTC)What I want is to see what filters a friend is in and move it easily; I can do it by going to their u-info and then friending them again, but that's the easiest way I can see.

Date: 2006-May-14, Sunday 14:43 (UTC)The dude says that there's "no international body responsible for upholding simple standards of vexillilic aesthetics" which is all well and good, but actually it's mostly done, if needs be, by the Heraldic Councils, mostly in Europe. In Scotland the control of heraldry is fully legal and the Lord Lyon King of Arms retains powers (including imprisonment, fines and defacing bogus arms) which he does not hesitate to use. (from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraldry)) How cool is that?!

Date: 2006-May-14, Sunday 14:57 (UTC)Possibly, haven't ruled it out, but circa £40 just to get to London makes it pricey before thinking about anything else.

Date: 2006-May-14, Sunday 15:25 (UTC)I think you answered that one yourself. How? Oh, wait, it's you.
You have Semagic installed though, right? Can you have a look at the options see if it has got something in there? Don't want to DL it just to find it's a waste of time, 'modify friend' options are getting annoying...

Date: 2006-May-15, Monday 02:48 (UTC)Filters are friends groups, and these can be edited in Semagic (Journal > Edit Friends > Friend Groups). It's marginally nicer than the web interface...

Date: 2006-May-15, Monday 07:21 (UTC)That was what I needed to know. I shall now dl Semagic and see what all the fuss is about...
