And we thought Cool Hunters were a thing of Pattern Recognition fiction. Todays Guardian has an article on two real life cool hunters.
By the way that Pattern Recognition link link is amazing, someone has annotated the whole book, page by page!

Oh well that's the Nokia game over for another year. Spent Saturday morning between ballet runs racing round Helsinki trying to ram AnyOnes car before 12 o'clock. Great fun. Final score was 121156 which put me 257th in the UK and 4489th in the World - about my normal position. Nokia reckon they had around 1.4m people playing, so not to bad. Prizes only to the first 50th though.
As ever the best thing about the game was the way the fan community pulled together, cracking codes, coming up with hint, building and finding maps.
Roll on 2004.

Sorry can't tell you what I did today for a while - but wanted to have placeholder to complete later.

I've finally mastered writing XML-RPC calls to the blogger API. The first fruits of this are this simple blogging interface which lets me blog in seconds from my palm over GPRS/Bluetooth. Time to test it.
