While boggling mildly at an otherwise perfectly sensible jumper with a dissected shirt collar sewn into its neck, presumably for people who simply can't handle the notion of wearing one garment over the other, I overheard a small boy of 6 or so asking quite firmly of his father what year it was. He was quite insistent and vaguely perturbed. On acquiring this information, he then demanded the know the precise date. I have little doubt that this boy has recently been partaking in a spot of illicit time travel.
Peter Sissons interviewed a man on BBC News 24. I can't remember what the interview was about, but the man emphatically said that humans were better than robots. The TV then cut to angry slabs of rainbow with illegible code scrawled across it. I'm assuming it was scuppered by an angry robot.
In news of today, this:

...which is about all the guitar tablature sites' being taken offline, is vexing me somewhat. It's a copyright issue, but the vast majority of these tabs are not actually available for purchase anyway...it's just people listening repeatedly to the tracks and offering the reading public a rough approximation (seldom spot on) of the score. Playing by ear and taking notes. I don't really see how it's different to writing down song lyrics. I've done it for myself in the past before the internet came into my life, because there was no other option, and now apparently I'll have to start doing it again. Well, poo.
That's all.
