Russell: Does this mean that the media show on MTS won’t begin for a while?
Yep. It's all on track, but not straight away.

Hard News: Let's do some commerce, in reply to JacksonP,
We should coffee.
Deal. Now that I know what else I have on for the next months (ie: not a lot) it'll be easier for me to think about the site.

yes to something about disability that doesn't include the word 'sector' :)

I was going to tap you, actually. Very loose theme of "disability and the internet".

Hard News: The Mayor's marginal enemies, in reply to Matthew Poole,
Orsman is senior editorial staff.
Just to be clear, the original, now removed, story was by Lincoln Tan. But the decision on the correction was made at a senior editorial level.

Just in case there's anyone who hasn't seen the cat curling video ...

Ice hockey, I’m told, looks much faster in real life. I’m not sure how. On my large HDTV I was only just able to track the puck and the changes of direction in play were astonihsingly fast, not to mention the shots and (usually) saves. I still have no idea what is going on at most times, but damn it’s a fun sport to watch.
No just me, then. I too have an HDTV and I too was struggling to see where the puck was and and, consequently, what on earth was going on. Obviously, you get better at watching a sport the more you do it, but ice hockey remains a puzzle to me.

I gather the consulate official who contacted the Herald is quite shocked by the nature of the subsequent correction. So that's a great look.

Notes & Queries: Little CD in a Prospect…, in reply to Lilith __,
As far as I’m concerned DHC and her armchair psychologising can fuck right off. How dare she be so patronising? It’s just more bullying.
I'm sure it wasn't meant to be bullying, but projecting her experience onto someone else like that was foolish and inappropriate. Ironically, that is kind of what Charlotte did recently with her unwelcome and inappropriate advice to Lorde.
I just wouldn't want to see DHC, who has her own issues, become the subject of an angry internet pile-on. Although it's probably a bit late for that.

Notes & Queries: Little CD in a Prospect…, in reply to SHG,
So Deborah Hill Cone was right then?
Only by accident. That is still an extremely ill-advised column.

While the abuse Charlotte received on Twitter was hideous, it's perhaps worth recalling what it was apparently acceptable to call her on mainstream TV in 2004.
