Fascinating comment by DR Reid yesterday when trying to persuade Labour backbenchers to vote for the Government’s plan for a two tier health service: “Look at the benches opposite”. So the Government is worried about the Tories again if it’s resorting to scare tactics when talking to it’s own side.

Of course, if I was Tony, I’d be far more worried about my own back benchers than the opposition at the momeent. A 17 majority means a lot labour back benchers voted against the Government on a 3-line whip vote… Not to mention that the policy was rejected at the Labour party conference.

Today is 12-week scan day and it’s late as the scan determined that the baby is 13weeks, 3 days old! Due date is 24th May apparently, but I bet he/she doesn’t keep to that schedule…

Wow!

The Mozilla bug that I reported has been fixed! Clearly it was the clarity of the original bug submission that helped ensure that the bug wasn’t pushed down the priority list into the no-mans land of “never to be fixed”…

Beginning to dislike Mondays as they take *ages*!

On the plus side, I’ve nailed a couple of bugs which were annoying me and I’ve implemented a new category of products for our primary e-commerce customer :)

We watched Toy Story 2 this evening. It’s a good film, with the best bit being the outtakes when the credits roll!

Note to self: don’t use the receipe book that came with the microwave. We’ve now had two meals from it and neither have been good. The wine we had with the meal this evening wasn’t anything to write home about either – almost vinegary :(

The www.mozilla.org redesign has gone live. Very nice it looks too.

Incidentally, I came across the same issue that jwz had a while ago. I wanted to centre the content in a <p> tag and have a border around it that was the width of the content, not the width of the page. If you read the comments in the jwz post, you see that the CSS way is to use “display:table” and all is right with the world. Except that I couldn’t get IE to support “display:table”…

Guess what? I ended up using a <table> just like jwz did :)

Oops, forgot to mention that the server that hosts the-allens.net was relocated yesterday :(

Everyone involved in the web should read this article by mpt.

The jury in the trial of Ian Huntley have been shown the site where the bodies were found. I am at a loss as to why they have been shown this. How will it help them determine if the evidence laid before them means that he is guilty or innocent? As far as I can see, all it will do is make the prosceution’s case easier by invoking additional feelings of sympathy with the victims. I’m probably wrong here and there’s a vital reason why the jury must see this patch of ground. Can someone tell me what it is?

Whilst they are at it, can some one also tell me what Mr Blunkett is about? The only good thing about this compulsory ID card thing is that there’s 10 years for the Government to learn all the problems with it that other countries have already learnt!
