Hard News: Things that do us good and ill, in reply to Alfie,
communicable dis-ease...
I should really ditch Vodafone because their customer service is crap. But I’ve been with iHug since the 90s and have the whole (net, landline, Sky, free MySky) package through them and it would be a major hassle to move everything.
I have the same situation with Woosh - who I went with when they first started as they were a Kiwi company - but as of late they've been part of a grand game of international pass the parcel - and to 'capital' off they went into administration yesterday...
...any recommendations out there for a stable email and domain hosting company?
Kiwi-owned is probably too much to ask anymore... -

Hard News: Three Dreams, in reply to Joe Wylie,
can muster a vast amount of often mundane detail to create its own totally immersive verisimilitude
Viva verismo!
the devil is in the detail…PS: hey Joe drop me an email,
I have a photo for you but my
computer has lost your email address -
doing the loco emotion
stationary esteem engines
never change tracks
always gauging the difference
between rolling stock,
laughing stock,
and lost attraction...Doing something is better than doing nothing.
and at the risk of putting Descartes before the hordes:
Cogito ergo something...
I think therefore I can
I think for I can
I think I can
I think I can
I can
I think...I'll put the brakes on my 'freewheeling thinking' now
before I become a doubting Thomas
or derail the thread...

human misery as data
well it could lead to a misery accord
ergo misericord*a small dagger used to deliver a death stroke to a wounded enemy.

*also an excellent album by Jay Clarkson and The Breathing Cage from 1991.

Just wondering were any MediaWorks reporters allowed in the Budget Media Lock-up?
Considering they brought an end to them at the Reserve Bank.

Hard News: Things that do us good and ill, in reply to ,
some proof-reading
You can also email Russell directly with a 'heads up' on typos etc by using the link at the bottom of the original post - well that's what I do, and that way we don't draw attention to minor flaws in the fabric of the otherwise 'award winning blog, by leaving traces that may lose their context...
...good spotting by the way, I missed two of those.

Polity: Mike's minute: Mike's maths!, in reply to JessicaRose,
Trope-ical fish…
would he go away?
I find a good ‘blocker’ is to use the above images compounded to overwrite his existence – not quite PK Dick’s Flow my tears, the policeman said of course – and may only work for people of ‘a certain age’ …
If I gave you the Mike… may work as well

Hard News: Three Dreams, in reply to Russell Brown,
Do y’all have the remembered-as-real thing?
I've spent hours looking for (or worrying about) things that I finally realise only occurred in a dream - or is it vice versa?
lucid ditty...

Hard News: Three Dreams, in reply to Brent Jackson,
Haven’t had that one for decades now (as far as I can remember).
The Last Wave is available on YouTube - combines both dreams and waves (brilliantly) without leaving the lounge - aaaahhh, the modern world, wake me when it's over!
