  was "Tabs" and why I hate them
But now it about why I hate the loops hackers and co are make us install pop-up blockers.

I've just spent 20 minutes ranting about "Tabs" in the tab browsing/documangement sense. To spare you my poor spelling I click the spell check button.....pop up blocker!( both ms's and googles). Unblock.........bugger its lost all my typing.......arrrrrrrrrrrghhhhh -- 20 minutes worth. Must have been 100 words at least!


Actually my typing's not that bad so it was more like 6-700. Thanks to "Type Faster" from sourceforge, excellent touch typing tutor.

  This blogs title....
Is a tribute to Suzanna Clarke's exceptional novel 'Jonathon Strange and Mr Norell'. It's still in hardback at the moment but the bigger online stores( amazon,play etc) have some good offers on at the moment. The paperback is due out in September 2005.

I cannot recommend this book enough - one of the few books that really gripped me.

http://www.jonathanstrange.com/ - Has sample chapters and pdfs of sale leaflet that should give you a goof impression of the book.

I can't wait for her next book but seeing as this one tool nearly tens years to write and publish......

Theres a film due to but the book is just short of 1000 pages, and i'm very worried about how that will translate to a films length, even a long film.......

Somebody has "The Raven King" as a blogspot already :-(
I would'nt mind too much.. but theres not even one post on it
