A 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.

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?

this cool or worrying? How strange would it be to run into

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

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

Link for a link? Hardly. I was joking you know - I just didn't want to to think that we're not linking to you. Cos we are. Well, I am.

Tell them to have their web-cam update faster, too.

i still don't understand why it doesn't update every 10 seconds - it's not like they don't have the technology...

well my permalinks list is getting a little old. i did it when i first started i am cal, and have been adding a few more this year, but anything i started reading in the second half of 2000 didn't get added. i should add all my daily read to it really.
