  • Hard News: Bad men,

    you might want to take off those rose tinted glasses there neil.

    cops using their uniform to access women is as common today as ever.

    sexual harrassment of women, by cops, continues to this day. i've seen the police files on this in a previous occupation. they filled a room 2m by 5m from floor to ceiling, and dated from the 1970s to 2000s.

    here's hoping current levels of intolerance of this behaviour within the police force continue, and lead to permanent organisational culture change.

  • Hard News: Bad men,

    plenty of chalk scrawled everywhere on the walk to work this morning.

    big marker writing on the policy hq too.

    make me think, a few years back ird caught a lot of flak from rodney hide about allegedly driving some businessmen to suicide with demands they pay their taxes.

    i was overseas, but apparently it was pretty incessant.

    the result was something of a 'road to damacus' experience for the ir, and they've substantially changed their organisational culture to prevent that type of allegation being levelled again.

    maybe a good outcome of all the shit these useless fecking cops are taking will result in a better, more accountable police force.

    you can't help but think that's a good thing.

    robin, you weren't an evangelist in a previous occupation were you? your turn of phrase is... all too familiar.

    russell, i'm thinking that you can probably make a few dollars to supplement the hustle by constant product placement in your post and comments.

    world of warcraft has more addons and macros that you can shake a stick at, most of which seem to scale upwards in complexity depending on the skill of the user.

    there's also the humungous online community.

    I'm still looking for that person who's able to do that initial introduction-to-programming tuition.

    how about someone with a ZX spectrum and one of those booklets on programming games in BASIC. having the commands written out on the keypads made learning programming pretty easy.

    or, the c21st version of the same.

  • Random Play: Every Rose Has Its Thorns,

    graham, checked out your albm review site, and promptly added to the bookmarks.

    you're right about arcade fire. got a recommendation from the local music store to heck the out, and have been listening to them non-stop for weeks.

    this was when i was buying the album they were playing in the store. "pinback". stupid name, very very nice album. run your ears over it and let us know what you think.

    count me in for a financial chip in. the least i can do.

    well, actually the least i can do is nothing, but that isn't an option in this instance. my cousin also has something like asperger's, and he's a pretty cool little dude. the more cool dudes in the world, the better.
