I the news today: Culture Minister describes Turner Prizes as 'Bullshit'. Well done. Now can I describe your policies as bullshit? House prices are rising; more and more people are in long term debt; pay disputes threaten to undermine the fire service and the medical profession; the NHS is still unimproved; student fees could drive significant people out of the higher education system; Blair continues to play lap dog to Bush over Iraq; the environment be dammed. Bullshit too. We need younger rebels to come and clear away the complacent establishment. Don't we? The Culture Minister seems to think it's good for the art world. How about for the political world as well.

The redesigned Cesspit comes along slowly. I just need to sort the Gallery out now, and relink in the Underground Drinking Project. All fun. So now what I'm looking for is a nice tool that'll do galleries for me. I bung up the pictures, it deals with thumbnails and the like. Must be possible, somewhere, as doing it all by hand is such a bind. Oh, and it's gotta be cheap. Then I need to link this blog back in. And then add a website counter. I will be a cult hero. No really. A CULT hero, I said.

Of course when I'm not trying to create poorly constructed webpages, theres always The Office.

Todays tip. If you like to spend 4 quid on a drink, dance to cut-up and totally remixed pop classics (including takeing the bass out of 'Totally Addicted to Bass' by Puretone) and mix with people who think nothing of wearing 200 quid tops, I can highly recommend Red Cube just off Leicester Square. For thise who have better things to spend their money on, have a more discerning taste in music and don't have the need to hang around with jerks and posers, you best off avoiding.

Actually it's not all bad, just not my scene. Ever. But you got to try these things one day.

And re-reading their website, I might have missed their 'relaxing' lounge bar. We certianly didn't get into the 'bedouin' booth, as it was private. It looked nice though when I peaked inside with big soft sofa's.... But I'm betting there I would have still been subjected to other people's music. Other people's music gives me hives.

In a stroke of sheer genius, Westminster Council (who run the public services around where I work) have come up witha great idea to help get rough sleepers of the streets. They're going to fine them £500. Excellent. Don't they think that the reason people sleep rough is becuase they have no money? If I had £500 quid, I'd certainly not be sleeping rough. I'd be hard puched to find £500 right now if someone demanded it as a fine. I could do it, as I have credit card, but ti's certainly not spare money. So what hope does a homeless person have?

While I applaud the idea of getting rough sleepers of the streets, this SO isn't the way to do it.

I suppose, to promote my site, I need to do something with it. Well, I need to finish the useful content for starters, which is the Underground Project (Oval and Kennington) planned for tonight). Once thats done, the gallery (I need a gallery manager bit of software as laying up the pictures myself is so dull) will get friends and relations to the site. Then if it's any good, word would spread?

Then we have to consider why in the name of The Jackson Five would I want to gain notoriety and have total strangers poke around my Cesspit of stuff? I want to be loved and appreciated and famous. I want the world to recognise my innate genius so I am feted as the new darling of intellengsia. Hah! That'd mean I'd end up on the late review trying to throttle Will Self, and trying to work out if Mariella Frostrup is totty or not.

Well, she does like fast cars.

Should I publish on Blog*Spot or my homepages as a sub section?

Should we go for Supply side or Demand side economics?

Is it easier for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than a camel to pass through the eye of the needle? Does the camel have to be still intact on the other side of the the eye? Surely matter transmitting of camels through small orifices is illegal under Prevention of Cruelty to animals?

But back to the original question, I'm not sure which would get more 'traffic'. In fact, would any of them get traffic and fans and internet stalkers for me?

The war is over. Neither blogger or Radio userland won. A very smart program called 'CityDesk' from Fogcreek software has gotten my money. The results of the initial set of pages are here, for now, anyway. It'll be the main set of pages.

It's less a log and much more of a set of links and short link reviews. Which is what I was aiming for all along. I'm very happy with it, especially as it took me around 3 hours to get everything laid up and linked up exactly how I wanted, and I expect it'll take about the same time again to create the Underground Project site, which is what I -really- wanted a content management type tool for.

I may still keep this Blog going though. It's kinda of a nice idea to have an online tool to write -stuff- in. Stuff is good.
