I haven’t written anything for ages,mainly cos I haven’t had much Internet access. Anyway, Harry Potter was great, and I got into university so I’ll be off in mid-September. Which is obviously fantastic!

I pre-ordered it today so I can collect it very early tomorrow morning. “Can’t you be half-sensible at go and buy it in the morning?” somebody asked me. They just didn’t understand…

A new Xinki site has launched. CGSB News is a kind of portal for CGSB news, views and content. I’ll advertise it about and see what happens…

I’m going to be reviewing a book in the next few weeks. I’ve ordered a review copy of “MediaWiki Administrator’s Tutorial Guide” and will write what I think here. A guy on the MediaWiki-l mailing list recommended it, so I’m interested.
Finally I recommend Akismet to anyone running a WordPress blog. If like me you allow anonymous comments, you can easily get spammed. WordPress tells me: “Akismet has caught 53 spam for you since you first installed it.” - all without me even seeing it!

I’ve already pre-ordered the final volume of the incredible Harry Potter series from Amazon.
I’m now considering going to a midnight launch party thing. I know at least two people who’re interested as well, so I might be going, which would be very cool.
