Well, I'm still a bit stiff, and I'm going to continue with the "take it easy" policy for a while yet, but otherwise I'm a good deal better. Thanks to all those who made suggestions about how to prevent it happening again (assuming it was some form of RSI, that is)

Many of you will have seen reports based on Vanity Fair's interview with the US Deputy Secretary of Defence, Paul Wolfowitz (not least because I mentioned it a couple of days ago).

Large parts of the US right-wing blogosphere are currently going ballistic, accusing Vanity Fair of misrepresenting his comments. Thing is, in this instance, they have some grounds.

You can find a full transcript of the interview over here. The relevant passage is way down the bottom. Use your browser's "find" function to search for "last question", and read from there.

His words are nowhere near as inflammatory as it's been reported, but I guess the story would sell fewer magazines otherwise...

[note: no, I haven't been body-snatched, I still think the war was a Bad Idea. I could probably rant quite happily about what Wolfowitz DID say, but for now I just want to set the record straight - which is why I'm linking the transcript directly rather than quoting it at length]

[linkage: InstaPundit and Pejmanesque. Warning: if your blood pressure rockets when you see the phrase "Liberal Media", approach with caution]

Lots of people are getting somewhat excited about this week's settlement of the AOL-Microsoft antitrust lawsuit, and proclaiming the Death Of Netscape.

I don't reckon it's that important. )

More on the browser war soon...

As I mentioned in my last post, many people, on seeing the settlement in the AOL/MS antitrust lawsuit, have proclaimed the end of the "browser war", the death of Netscape, and the forthcoming global domination of Microsoft.

So, how do things look in the trenches? )

Redesign in progress. This is likely to look wacky for a while...
