Oh good! A new Yellow Pages! #thingsnobodysays
Speedy pedalling from Vauxhall's php mines, now off, late, to naming things at the Roundabout.
Home after seeing 'War Horse'. Life size horse puppets were amazing. Real humans and their dialogue a bit annoying and less well rounded.
Yay, intermittent marathon project now 100% complete. But this next one looks like the world's craziest sprint.
Lying on the sofa, surfing for music between Radio 2 and 6 Music, reading CodeIgniter docs. All is well.

Jorn Barger, the NewsPage Network, and the Emergence of the Weblog Community | Tawawa.org - http://tawawa.org/ark...
Fascinating history of the early days of weblogs, with a prominent place for Dave Winer's NewsPage stuff, which I remember being important to me (the Haddock Directory started on Userland Frontier in 1997). (via Preoccupations) - Phil Gyford
Had I been up to date with my feeds I would have been with the cool @bldgblog kids. Instead I've reached 99.5% completed on this project.
@zzgavin (a) Like I could tell the difference (or care enough), and (b) I don't want to store more useless plastic. Just give me bits.
Doh. Just ordered three albums online. Checked out. Realised I'd ordered "CDs" rather than downloadable music. I have to *wait* to listen?
Somehow managed cycling home -> Vauxhall -> Shoreditch -> home without getting wet. Close.
About to head to a meeting on the bike. I predict a soaking on the way home. At least I won't be standing on a plinth when the rain comes.
@simonw Aah, got you, forgot about potential for being locked out after too many attempts.
@simonw Isn't that just... two passwords?
Spreadsheets and PDFs for 2008/09 dispatched to accountant. Yay! I need a reward.
Home to do life admin. Also, to measure magic long eyebrow hair: almost 30mm. I sense a future in politics.
John Harris asks whether the best writing about pop music hails from a different era | Music | The Guardian - http://www.guardian.co.uk/music...
While I'm at it, I enjoyed this too, about whether music writing isn't as good as it used to be. It never was. Or maybe it's always moving so it's not where you left it. - Phil Gyford
Potlatch: what's going on with the music formerly known as 'indie'? - http://potlatch.typepad.com/weblog...
A nice piece about how mixed up music is today and what counts as "timeless". I need to read more good music writing. Maybe I can NewspaperClub my own NME/MM. (via Matt Jones) - Phil Gyford

Aside from being specifically about people who think they can rewrite StackOverflow in a weekend, great as an example of where the complexity lies in a website. (via Blech) - Phil Gyford
Elmcity project FAQ « Jon Udell - http://blog.jonudell.net/elmcity...
A way to aggregate iCalendar feeds about a particular location using Delicious. Looks slightly fiddly but also nice in a loosely-joined kind of way. (via Tom Taylor) - Phil Gyford
Michael Moorcock, Alan Moore, Iain Sinclair « Mostly on McSweeney’s! - http://looceefir.wordpress.com/2009...
A very nicely written set of notes about that discussion at the British Library a week ago. (via Blech) - Phil Gyford
