OK, for those not aware, the BBC invited Guy Kearney to discuss the Apple court case. Instead however, the producer went to the wrong place, called his name out, and a certain Guy Goma got up. Times and Mail versions of story, and YouTube video.
At first, the story was it was the cabbie due to collect him. It now turns out Mr Goma is actually a “data cleansing expert” there for a job interview; he thought the recording studio was part of the interview process. It’s so funny, even William Gibson is posting to his blog about it. Best bit? The producer had previously looked at Guy Kearney’s website. Mr Kearney is, noticeably, white. Mr Goma is distinctly not. You really would have thought they’d have twigged a little earlier.

OK. Did anyone else know that has existed for over a month now, and he’s updating regularly?
Laurence! You’re supposed to click the “add friend” thing, go forth and comment, let people know you’re here, etc. In the meantime, everyone that knows him should go say hello. That’s at least 1/4 of my f-list by all accounts.
For the benefits of the loon; click on the person icon next to a username, it takes you to their profile page, at the top is 
, once you’ve done that enough, then your ‘friends‘ page becomes the most important bit. It also means you can read old protected entries on journals.
Still, that’s one more off that little list of people to force to sign up for this thing.
Yes, still off work. Didn’t sleep last night, finally dosed off at about 8am, to get a phonecall from work at 9.40am. Boss needed to know some answers. Next time I know I’m not going in in the early hours, I’ll ring leave a message on the answerphone.

I hate being ill. I think I may have mentioned that already, I’ll shut up now.
Barely slept, coughing constantly, no energy — yup, I’ve got Man Flu. Overdosing on lemsip isn’t helping. Downloaded Semagic, the edit friends groups isn’t much better than the web interface, so I’ve given up on that project out of boredom for now.
On the subject of boredon though; Breakout online. Very silly, but, meh, it kills time. Just downloaded a shareware version of Arkanoid. Because someone linked to a history of video games and I couldn’t resist Googling. Have been reading the Flem archives. Jay Grant is sick. But we all new that anyway.
I’d say g’night, but I suspect I’m not going to sleep, so no point really.
