this article from Webmonkey tells it a litle closer to how it is - support is spotty at best.

HTML5 is still a long way off being finalised. I think Flash will be hanging around for a while yet.

I typed a single command, said 'y'es a few times and then waited a while. It's all done!

Linux is as easy as any of the others now.

We started the screening call with the standard meet and greet, and an explanation of why we were interested in the opportunity. Once we felt that the conversation was flowing smoothly, we began to dig in a bit and start asking various technology questions. In doing so, we learned what Anti-Virus technologies were in use and we also learned what the policies were for controlling outbound network traffic.

That’s all that we needed…

This is really interesting - I came to this post via a link from the register that suggested it was Facebook profiles that leaked the crucial details required. Actually, when you read the story, all that really did was make identifying the names of people a little quicker - they actually got most of what they needed from a job interview!

The most interesting part is:

we decided that the ideal scenario for stealth penetration would be to embed an exploit into a PDF document

Adobe really need to up their game.

Amazing.

According to the BBC Spain is currently in the process of setting itself up as the main hub for European and possibly even N/S American travel. The UK government is sending naval ships in to evacuate stranded Britons.

The Spanish rail operator has reported a 15% increase in demand for rail services, and is laying on extra services from Madrid and Barcelona to Paris. (BBC @ 1321).

Now, I am not an Environmental Scientist, Vulcanologist (or indeed Vulcan), but how about if we had, instead of sitting around accepting the ash cloud as Aircraft Enemy #1, doing what Germany are reportedly doing; mapping and working out the limits of what we can and can't do - we could then have become the travel hub and reaped the benefit of a boost to our economy.

Sure, it might just be that the UK has it the worst, but from what I've been reading over the last couple of days, a lot of the talk has centred around compensation and bailouts.

Shame.

I thought this was quite interesting, more so for the first comment below it:

Yeah, nice idea but alas totally misleading. No sulfur or methane, for example. Volcanoes are thought to have caused a runaway greenhouse effect before. And then there are the effects of the toxins. But a pretty graphic!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CARBON!!1one!2!!"two!

Thus we are taught by our media.

I'm finding the whole Eyjafjallajökull thing fascinating.

I wonder how much this has to do with the fact that I started playing World of Warcraft again a month or so ago...

There's something decidedly rat-like about the way this thing moves. What's quite interesting though is that it doesn't just run away and hide!

Please fuck off.

KTHXBYE.

I do not enjoy watching men masturbate.

Fin.
