Our good friend Chris Gulker has been taking a trip down memory lane. Chris was a photographer at the LA Herald Examiner, where I also worked. He dug out this photo of editor Jim Bellows and Mary Ann Dolan in the Herex newsroom for Steve Latham, who is making a PBS documentary, The Last Editor, about Bellows. One of my great regrets is that I started at the Herex just after Bellows left, thus missing the chance to work for one of the legendary characters in American journalism. 11:35:41 PM

Oh damn, I'm too late. I wanted to post a message at 2 minutes past 8, when the date, time and year would read 20:02 20 02 2002. And to think it hasn't happened since the year 1001 and will never happen again. Doggonit! 8:07:42 PM

This is a test to see if you can post to Radio using web-based email. Personally, I don't think it will work. 5:02:47 PM

Speaking of the New Statesman (see below), I have, perhaps against my better judgement, been persuaded to serve as moderator of the judging panel for the NS New Media Awards. At least that means I will get invited to the New Statesman's summer party and rub shoulders with lots of old lefties. 4:59:02 PM

I've spent the past three days working at the New Statesman magazine. If you click on that hyperlink, my apologies. The NS website needs a serious rethink, and I know just the man for the job. 4:52:45 PM

I'm feeling very proud of myself. Over the weekend I managed to set up a password system for an Apache web server using the Unix command line terminal. Here's proof: 4:50:32 PM

Our friend (and Internet service provider) Chris Gulker has redesigned his gulker.com website using Radio 8. He's also added a new site, gulker.net. Bound to be full of interesting ideas. 11:42:31 AM

A mild winter has brought an early start to spring in southern England. Here are some Irises that are already in bloom in our garden, at least a month ahead of schedule. 3:24:54 PM

And here is what Charlie Cam is seeing today in rainy, windswept Surrey 2:00:50 PM

Bought an Orange Micro iBot firewire webcam yesterday, so Charlie Cam is back to being a 24/7 operation now. 1:03:02 PM
