Housekeeping. Oh my goodness me. I spent the last three hours getting the sidebar right. Believe me, I can design the most wonderful websites in Photoshop or Illustrator, but I'm really crap when it comes to coding those wonderful websites. Anyway, I finally got rid of the Google ads; somehow I came to the belief that earning about 100 US Dollars a year isn't worth keeping those annoying small ads, and they were stupid anyway. After all, this blog is merely a hobby of mine and I still can cope with 8 quid a month for my server/domain contract with the fabulous Hosting Unlimited company. I just wish I had a bit more webspace. Anyway, instead of those Google Ads you'll now find the new feature "Recent Comments" in the sidebar, which means I'm now fully web 2.0 compatible. Or something like that. And if a thorough Haloscan User can tell me how to get rid of the lame "Powered by Haloscan" at the bottom of the siebar, I'll be incredibly grateful. In fact, I'll be absolutely Greatful. And I'm really knackered now. Coding is HELL. Honestly. And now I'll upload all of this month's posts again to get rid of the Google Ads. At least for this month; all the rest of this weblog stays as it is. It takes too long uploading it all again. Oh, Konstantin: your search engine code doesn't work btw: it fits wonderfully, but doesn't find anything. I rather stick to the old Google format. I've also moved the RSS feed and e-mail icons up, it's probably easier to find them now. And quite funny, I've got nine Feedburner subscribers, whereas I'm having onehundredseventythreethousandfivehundredandthirtyfive subscribers with my Radio RSS feed. Those figures are more or less estimated of course. 4:56:18 PM   This & That | |

Good Bye Tony. The Forbidden Planet Blog about the forthcoming exhibition at the Political Cartoon Gallery, London. Two thirds of the British public believe that Iraq will prove to be Tony Blair's most enduring legacy. Four years after the US-led invasion, Iraq still dwarfs all other issues concerning Blair's ten years in Downing Street. This exhibition of original cartoons demonstrates the cartoonists' view that the war was a folly from the outset and that it has brought nothing but death and destruction to the Iraqi people. The exhibition consists of 60 cartoons by Britain's leading cartoonists such as Steve Bell, Peter Brookes, Martin Rowson, Dave Brown, Peter Schrank, Paul Thomas and Morten Morland amongst many others. 12:34:20 PM   Art & Advertising, London | |
