There are some plans to introduce X-ray scanning and searching at train stations. Commuters will be very frustrated. I'm wondering whether the lives saved by the prevention of a possible terrorist attack will be greater than the fraction of everone's life that's sliced off by being zapped with X-rays twice a day, five days a week throughout their working lives. Plus the increased road rage as people take the car instead.

I was pretty busy today. I had to saw up a strip board into five pieces to solder circiuts on to them. Estates finally moved the lights in my room; it's about three times brighter. I was walking around when I felt this great stab of pain in my toe. I took off my shoe and sock to see a piece of copper wire, the core of a cable, sticking into my toe. Ouch! I have no idea how it got through my shoe.

::nod:: I just wish there was a better solution than metal detectors.

There was a group of artists in new your recently that got the brilliant idea to put a Mac Mini and a projector inside a suitcase to project a series of images on a wall. Which is kind of cool, except that they got the bright idea to bolt it to the side of a public train without talking to anyone. ::facepalm::
