Peter Lilley calls for cannabis decriminalisation

Jesus Christ! I have no idea why I'm out of bed at this time, but this news was worth getting up for.

BBC News: 'Legalise cannabis' says Lilley

It looks like sanity may really prevail. Fuck!

"I Will Never Sue Again"
Vows Jeffrey Archer

Disgraced politician Lord Archer has vowed never to take libel action against anyone, ever again.

Archer, who used to be a woman until paying for a sex change operation in 1984 with money from the Brink's Mat robbery, said that the negative publicity made litigation more trouble than it was worth.

The millionaire novelist took a break from clubbing specially imported baby seals on his country estate to make the announcement, shortly before flying to Thailand to have ladyboys.

Down with the fish!

A fish just swam across my screen.

Wanda the GNOME fish, to be precise.

It took maybe 20 seconds to cross the screen. In that time, I managed to fire up xkill, and took three potshots at it, I think I hit all three times but it somehow didn't die; I don't know if there's some weird interaction with the SHAPE extension there. I don't know how to make a window survive xkill. I knew I'd seen it before, and it turns out to be Wanda the GNOME fish, as I can confirm by running the GNOME "fortune" applet.

This means that something I'm running has some stupid Easter Egg built in, but I'm damned if I can work out what. It's not LoserJabber, which was my first thought; or if it is, they've hidden the string "fish" in the sources.

Bah. I don't expect my software to piss me about, even rarely.

(Update: I found it. It's in the Gnome Panel, and it was put there by George Lebl. *sigh*.
