New server, New Location…

If your reading this then your reading the blog via it’s new url – it’s moved from http://www.ftwr.co.uk/blog/ to it’s own subdomain http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/ – hopefully I fully converted all the urls pointing to things like images and downloads but please contact me via the contact form if you find any problems. All the old permalinks should be getting 301 Permanently Moved redirects hopefully!

Changes in v0.80:

Experimenting with colour

Some of the more astute of you may notice that I’ve started experimenting with bringing some colour into the site design. Well that is if any of your read the site directly and not just via a feed reader ;). I thought it was about time to start improving the visual look and feel to get away from the stark white look.

A Letter To The Terrorists, From London

This article from the London News Review sums up some of my feelings about yesterdays bombings, as a Londoner now living further out than the suburbs, quite well:

What the fuck do you think you’re doing?

This is London. We’ve dealt with your sort before. You don’t try and pull this on us.

Do you have any idea how many times our city has been attacked? Whatever you’re trying to do, it’s not going to work.

All you’ve done is end some of our lives, and ruin some more. How is that going to help you? You don’t get rewarded for this kind of crap.

And if, as your MO indicates, you’re an al-Qaeda group, then you’re out of your tiny minds.

Because if this is a message to Tony Blair, we’ve got news for you. We don’t much like our government ourselves, or what they do in our name. But, listen very clearly. We’ll deal with that ourselves. We’re London, and we’ve got our own way of doing things, and it doesn’t involve tossing bombs around where innocent people are going about their lives.

And that’s because we’re better than you. Everyone is better than you. Our city works. We rather like it. And we’re going to go about our lives. We’re going to take care of the lives you ruined. And then we’re going to work. And we’re going down the pub.

So you can pack up your bombs, put them in your arseholes, and get the fuck out of our city.
