Scooped

On Wednesday 23rd July, this blog featured the news of the forthcoming Isra'a wal Miraaj holiday falling on Thursday (it was broadly expected on Wednesday), quoting Arabic daily Al Bayan. Gulf News finally ran it today. That's a five-day delta!

I have a new curse for journalists: May you be scooped by bloggers!

I have now, sad to say, amused myself.

Proof of Concept Silliness

So this is a horrible picture of 'Geek in chief' Gianni Catalfamo (of course only horrible pictures can be taken of Gianni) from the Pleon klatch in rainy Vienna just to show you can post piccies to your blog using the superior and sleek Nokia N93 Music Edition.

Ha, Catalfamo!
