we support IFPPADA letter we wrote to the Radio 1 web team:

"PLEASE get a faster web server or employ some kind of load balancing. Visiting your site is unbearable even on a 1Mbps line, with your now even heavier graphical navigation (Why are those right-hand links images anyway?). This site is pushed everyday to millions of people, but blatently can't cope with demand."

We wonder if they will respond.

God Creates Universe in Seven Days, Perl Gods Not Impressed. We've recently learnt all about the Schwartzian Transform and the Fisher-Yates shuffle, and we have to say that they are both beautifull and awe inspiring. Great things can be done in perl.

It's fast becoming a meme, but we like it. On the subject of memes though, this has proliferated much more than it should have. Who coined the term meme, out of intrest? If you know, drop us an [email](mailto:cals@iamcal.com?subject=i know who invented memes).

Check out Airline Musings, unless you're about to go on a plane.

We've been wondering lately, why it is that although we get good blog linkage, we rarely get permalinks. Looking round the UK blog list, we can see that quite of few of them have a list of other blogs, and this site rarely features, although we know the owners of those blogs read iamcal. Is there something about our site which discourages permenant linkage?

A big collection of am-i-this-or-not sites. We've got a bigger one

Is this cool or worrying? How strange would it be to run into Jason and Meg in the park? [stolen from tom]

Quote of the week: "forgive my bluntness. It's a device I use to cope"

Whatever happend to Kai Krause? According to Makiko Itoh, "...he moved back to Germany, bought himself a castle on the Rhine, which he's been turning into an artists studio/collective/school...". We'd love to meet that man - a real genius.

There is definately a secret office romance happening at 5e. More news as it happens...

To end, we'll give you two nice design sites.
