Baggage screening
Think you could spot a knife or gun in an X-ray of bag or briefcase? Think you could do the job? MSNBC has an interesting look at baggage handling in the wake of government reforms in the US. Find out how hard the job is.
I scored 50% and marked 4 bags incorrectly, but many were guesses.. not good.

Hungover
Drinks with two best mates – good
Kronenburg 1664 – bad. Oh so v.bad.
And I’m slightly miffed that my blog entry at 1am from an BT Internet point hasn’t appeared… christ knows what it said mind you..

Internet Explorer 6.0
Hmmm. OK BEFORE you flame me for using IE.. ehhh… hang on and I’ll find a good reason… hmmm better than Mozilla ? *ducks*
Anyhoo, if you have the aforementioned browser, have you spotted this little feature? With a browser window open so you can view the status bar (the bit bottom left that says ‘Done’ on it), right-click on the window’s taskbar button, and mouseover the options. Watch the status bar… (screenshot)
Has it always done this? Am I just noticing a long standing Windows feature? And why can’t I get used to Mozilla’s tabbed display? Answers on a postcard to the usual address.
Ramblings
Popped up to the shop for lunch and on the way back two police horses (and riders obviously) were walking up the street. Which made me smile (which was nice…).
Out for beer tonight with a couple of mates, one of whom I haven’t seen for… ohh about a year? Hey, it’s not like he was the best man at my wedding or anything… 😉
And our car needs MORE work done to it. Seemingly the garage weren’t happy taking £350 from us two weeks ago, they want another £70 for something else. So on Monday I will drop my wife at work, hightail it back to the garage, make my way home via taxi (ankle isn’t quite up to hiking up the hill we live on), work at home and wait for the car to get fixed. I just wish I hadn’t noticed that the tyres are getting close to the legal minimum. That’ll be another £150 or so I guess… sigh…
Ohh and I MUST remember and book the first week in December off work. I have a list of DIY jobs to do round the house before Xmas arrives. You know how it is, gotta have the place all ship-shape in case the Queen pops round.
Anti-Spam
I get around 5 or 6 spam emails a day at work and 10-15 on my home account, so it’s not too bad, however I have noticed a rise in the last couple of months so I’ve started looking for a solution. Thankfully that clever bloke Fred Langa has done the same, so rather than me witter on about anti-spam devices/blockers/detectors and the like, it will probably be easier if you just go read the article yourself.
