I had a meeting with someone from the UK Broadband contract organised today, 0930. When I turned up for work at 1030, someone said "How was the meeting" at which point I suddenly remembered that it had been arranged for this morning. Precisely around the time when I was driving to Wath to do a post office job.

Ack. Having talked to someone whose was yesterday, I've decided it's a good thing I didn't go. I would have been annoyed. Things we had been told were possible with respect to bargaining were apparently not. There is no way I'd sign a standard TSC contract. No... never. They have their employees bent over with their trousers pulled down, at the ready with sand to drop in the vaseline.

Currently laughing at A Bit of Fry and Laurie on Paramount Comedy 2. Gotta love Unca Stephen. Uncie Hugh is just as cool, but not quite as prolific.

With the acquisition of the iPod I've had a burning need to properly identify my music on disk, and some of the On-U Sounds stuff I have stored is woefully inadequately labelled. I managed to track down a large chunk of it thanks to David's site (skysaw.org), but there were still some tracks that I couldn't identify.

I remember a while back this service called "Shazam" was advertised heavily, and the basic idea is you play music down your mobile and it identifies it. Thinks I, "it'll NEVER work with a Dub Sundicate & Dr Pablo track" but it's the only way I can think of to identify it, other than to call David up and play it down the phone at him!

Gave it a shot and bugger me - it knows! Even coming out of my laptop's tinny speakers! It identified it as 'Pressurised' from the "North of the River Thames" album. Way cool!
