burntcopperUtterly stupid news item of the day, read on the tube : Hedgehog turned in at a wildlife sanctuary to be put on a diet. Said hedgehog has over-eaten to the tune of now weighing 5lbs - ie, 3x the size of a normal hedgehog.
So, how overweight are the hedgepigs in your back garden?
And :eyeroll: Another case of the 'hi, you're new to the internet/message boards? Here's some simple etiquette rules. LEARN.' Logged into mail last night to be greeted with a message from the owner of one of the Robin Hood sites - some eejit on the comm had hotlinked to a scan on her boards, so she mailed me to tell me and ask them to take it down. Which I did, apologised, then made a stompy stompy sheriff post about Why We Don't Hotlink, aka 'Hi, Are You Paying For Their Web Hosting?'. With added 'at the very least, save the pic, upload it to lj pics and link that. with credit to the original site.'
Day started off with the train breaking down at Ealing Broadway, which meant I got into work at 9:55, as opposed to my usual 9:05. oh, and then got told the main server for actually *doing stuff* - xml changes, *uploading* said xml changes, access to any documentation on the server was down and it took them till 3pm to fix it. couldn't do any basic no corrections author checks because said so-called no corrections normally have at least one loose end like an errant url in the wrong place that takes, oh, 30 seconds to fix. :mutter: I wanted to look at the girl-wonder blogs during my lunch hour, but didn't have time between the stompy mod post, email and 'argh, only five minutes left! I need to book my damn ticket for Barrowman in Cardiff!' Oh, and spent a large portion of the day going 'new rules re: pre-live corrections!' 'which of you ed check people believes Colombia is in the USA or that Birmingham is its own country?'
And yes, the Barrowman album has been on repeat.
