This is day 6 of the new flat/ no Internet connection/ use-phone-as-modem combination, and it’s really, really irritating. (Though “impractical” is probably a better word.)

UHC have an exhibition on at the moment at Manchester Museum – you should definitely check it out. From the link above:

One hundred drawings of endangered British species, created by artist Jai Redman, were permanently tattooed onto volunteers in a continuous three-day public event. The result of this unique performance was an army of ambassadors for threatened and rare birds, fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, plants and fungi from around the UK. All of the 100 tattooed volunteers had a unique and life changing encounter with contemporary art and ecology, each adopted the role of ‘ambassador’ for their species, raising money and awareness for the conservation partners and promoting education about changing ecologies and species loss.

Google+ is slowly rolling out, and looks to Facebook as Facebook did to MySpace “back in the day” – hopefully they’ll actually keep this one clean rather than allowing it be clogged up with likeable pages based around increasingly farfetched concepts. Add me if you’re on it!

There’s a couple of new bits in the works as well, although working on them is difficult given the 2.4kbps connection speed I’ve been enjoying.
