Questioning Time

News has just come in that the preacher has finally been subjected to police questioning over the honours scandal. It seems investigators visited Downing Street and subjected him to a 2 hour interrogation, although he has not yet been cautioned or arrested.

Some of you may not be seeing the OpEd listings here at the moment. The source site is currently moving to a new server and the change can take a while to filter through the increasingly complex network we call the web. It should reappear within a couple of days at the most.

Some other technical news ...

You may have noticed a slowdown on this blog and some changes to the other links.

First off is the new "Vod-Pod". This provides me with an extremely fasy way to publish eTV streams from a vast array of sources very quickly and in one place. Some highlights will still appear here, but the "pod" gives you a wider selection and allows for capturing more than can easily be embedded here.

The comment I used to publish here is now by and large in the link left to "Bloglines", with a vast array of uncommented daily links in "Hotlinks". The latter is also sent out as a daily headlines email, so let me know if you want to be on the list. Deloivered every morning courtesy of Furl.

Bloglines works using RSS feeds rather than normal webpages. This makes scanning items extremely fast. My blog also contains a vast selection of RSS links which, unlike those here, can be viewed as listings before you pursue the actual posts.

There are also new links for "Diggs" and "Tags". The former contains major items that are voted on by the network to increase exposure for less-than-obvious news, etcetera. The latter contains more permanent links via "delicious" and is a copy of my public bookmarks. As with "Blogmarks" this provides a very sppedy Web2 experience, especially when using the superb new Firefox browser on virtually any platform.

The "blogroll" is now filling up rapidly. This too is the result of automation which allows me to tag recommended blogs without coming here to modify the list. If youy want to submit a blog, please mail me a link at malburns@gmail.com rather than the usual address.

Last but not least, all links here now have a pop-up preview feature which allows you to see the destination without actually clicking on it. A time-saving feature if you are curious but want to avoid clicking away from this site.

So, until the next ...

Later.
