Whoops! by John Lanchester
Notes on the book about the financial crash.
Links

BBC - WW2 People’s War
At least one of those BBC sites, a good one, threatened with deletion/archiving/whatever is already archived by the British Library here. I haven’t looked for others.

Isotope
Blimey, that’s a whizzy bit of jQuery for rearranging things on a page. I’m expecting to see a whole lot of that soon. (via Daring Fireball)

Collective2 - Find the trading strategy best for you
A site for finding different stock market trading algorithms. Some very nice touches, but still bewildering to me. I could get so lost in this stuff if I had the time. (via Tom Taylor)

@simonw At least the British Library have archived the BBC WW2 People’s War site: http://bit.ly/hREdte
@revdancatt Yay, I like them both... I didn’t know there was a connection? The ‘Sugar Water’ video is lovely: http://bit.ly/goP1e7
@revdancatt Have the free one gradually insert more and more typos until it’s incomprehensible. A graduated free trial version.
@denisewilton Thatcher resigned while I was waiting for some just-processed film to dry. Coincidence?! We should shoot on film more.
@basil That would require... another script! Excellent.
Not sure if writing an elaborate script to fetch data for a couple of presentation slides is clever or the worst kind of procrastination.
@expansysUK Your friendly phone folks took care of it very well, thanks. Just frustrating to wait a week and then have to cancel order.
Oh @expansysUK, how can something be “shipped” but not “despatched”? Customer service friendly and efficient, but still. You buffleheads.
Lovely dentist is lovely. Good start to the week.
