British Library gets Royal accent to store and save electronic data, from now on.
Some years ago when a copy of every printed item was safely stored it increased the shelf space by four miles per year, it was said..

What non-print materials will now be saved? The major categories of non-print materials include:
- Publications accessed over the Internet, e.g. electronic journals.
- Websites - a limited and well-defined range of sites, judged to be research-level, will be regularly harvested for addition to the national archive.
- Publications on media other than paper, such as microfilm or fiche.
- 'Hand-held' electronic publications on media such as CD-ROM or DVD.

I can't begin to tell you. I didn't go out that night because I was so ashamed. I thought everybody would be laughing at me, thinking I was a head case.
I went out the next day and a woman jammed her car up against me at the petrol station. She opened the car door and jumped in, and I thought "I can't take this anymore".
But then she hugged me, and both of us – in the forecourt of a BP garage – were hugging and crying. She was saying "I'm so sorry" and I was like, "I know".
It was a revelation for me, because a lot of people think I am very strong and very hard and I can be like that when I need to be - but I am not that strong actually and it doesn't take much to set me off.
I just couldn't take it anymore, I kept smiling but I was crying inside and the pressure cooker exploded.
Sweet! bit long drawn for me brain...

Video Mobilized
Although limited to video sent over a cellphone network, the Nokia 7700 is a forerunner to gadgets that company officials say will be able to receive video over conventional television airways. The new device will be available in Europe in the second quarter of next year, and will cost about $580.

The whole point of copying data is to back-up your valueable stuff so if you crash! (I have re-stored the whole thing six times and as my set-up came without a Win98 CD but a Compaq CD restore system you can't do a special restore in particular without having somewhere to put it.... if you have valueables...
then we have a digital camera that uses Compact Flash cards that have digital loading available but not AV-in

Fires of Los Angeles-Ventura county play on the minds of all?
A 90,000-acre wildfire that straddles the Los Angeles-Ventura county line began moving slowly toward million-dollar mansions in a gated community in Los Angeles. California Department of Forestry Battalion Chief Thomas Foley said that in a "worst-case scenario," the blaze could spread all the way to the Pacific Ocean.

Geof Darrow the Conceptual designer..
Z on the artistic side...
"Hard Boiled is a Dark Horse Comic by Frank Miller and Matrix designer/storyboard artist that tells the tale of Nixon a completely surreal story in which you are never certain if he is a robot or what. The script was extremely thin, and Miller basically just left Darrow to create massive scenes of intricate design that were packed with so mych detail and reference that the reader could spend hours looking at everything going on in each frame. All of it cool".
The reason why digital cameras give an out-of-focus sub-standard effect is because if the light does not hit the CCD at right angles (important) it will give a higher percentage of error 5 meg from Olyumpus has the widest angle lens said to be on the market at present...
