Two medics have put out an appeal for anyone who witnessed their arrest or received treatment from them during the Carnival for Full Enjoyment in Edinburgh. The carnival took place on the 4th July 2005, days before the opening of the G8 summit in Gleneagles. Read the full appeal.

A new version of the Paged Comments plugin for WordPress is available for download. If you use the plugin already, there’s no real reason to upgrade. The new version includes templates for three WordPress themes (K2, default, and classic) to make setup easier for first-time users.
While trying to patch up a freshly installed Windows XP for a friend a few days ago I was confronted with a request to validate the authenticity of Windows XP with Microsoft’s Genuine Advantage Validation Tool. As if the process wasn’t laborious enough before, they’ve now introduced a further hurdle to securing Windows. Although my friend did have a licence, I went looking for an easier option and came across AutoPatcher. It’s a tool that comes bundled with the latest security patches and a number of other extras for Windows and, once run, will check your system for installed patches and suggest updates not yet installed. So if you haven’t made the switch yet and don’t fancy faffing about on the Microsoft Windows Update site, download AutoPatcher.
“AutoPatcher is a comprehensive collection of patches, addons and registry tweaks that give you peace of mind in the knowledge that your Windows system is up to date, even before you connect it to the Internet. It’s designed to quickly patch a system with the most current updates and tweaks available, and requires no user interaction once you have selected what to install.”
I’ve just returned from a two-week holiday in the US with the family. We flew over to LA for my cousin’s wedding (congratulations Anush and Tannaz!) and spent the rest of the time doing the usual touristy stuff. Photos are up from the wedding day and a few taken in and around LA.
