Amnesty International began its 100 day countdown to the UN conference on small arms last week.
Roughly half a million people are killed every year by small arms. That’s one death every minute. If you support tougher arms controls, visit the Control Arms campaign and add your face to the Million Faces Petition.
Listening to Bryter Layter, I noticed this Keith Morris photo in the CD booklet. Was young Mr Drake standing in Charlton, with Tate & Lyle visible across the river in Silvertown?
Much of the last couple of weeks at work has been spent migrating coldfusion from a single server, standard edition on Windows 2000 to the multiple server, enterprise edition on Redhat.
The following web pages were invaluable in getting it running properly.
Amnesty have produced a video in support of the Control Arms Campaign. It’s a home shopping ad extolling the virtues, and ease of purchase, of the AK-47 assault rifle. There’s a number to text if you’d like to join the petition and support the control of sales of small arms.
The ad’s running in cinemas nationwide, so yours truly will be up in the Vue cinema in Leicester Square on Saturday trying to sign people up to the petition.
UPDATE: 92 photos for the petition in a couple of hours! We rock! But not as much as those people who kindly gave their support to the campaign.
One of those strange, pre-migraine visual problems tonight. Generally referred to as an ‘aura’, I believe. Anyway, cue yours truly unable to see anything that’s right in front of him, staggering around the flat like a gimp. Ever tried cooking when you can only see clearly in your peripheral vision? It’s fun.
Damn, and I had been hoping to watch a film tonight too.
Still, no splitting headache, which is good. Used to get these frequently when I was a teenager. In the last year or so, the problem seems to have kicked off again. My head is not happy about something. I thought I’d note it down here when it occurs so I can maybe see how frequent they really are.
