I am often reliant on the Lorem ipsum genertor site when creating some design concepts, and thanks to Swiss Miss and Chesley I’ve found a supercharged version – the Dummy text generator. This gives you all the features of the Lorem ipsum generator but adds some extra touches such as adjuusting the size of the preview window, choosing different text instead of the usual Lorem ipsum and being able to specify CSS styling. Give it a go!

The Gun, Docklands has just been ned as Londons best pub for dinning - a title I can confirm as being thoroughly worthy after it hosted my brother's wedding reception a two years ago.
I like maps, and maps of the world are my favourites. So seeing blaberize.com do a feature on desktop world wallpapers has made my friday. Here’s a pick of some of the best, but make sure you visit http://blaberize.com/2009/10/15-really-cool-world-map-wallpapers/ for the whole bunch.
Thanks to the online photographer for highlighting the PM’s response to an e-petition on photography laws. Currently the law states:
Section 58A makes it an offence to publish, communicate, elicit or attempt to elicit information about any of such persons which is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
Which has been mis-used by many police officers to ban members of the public from taking innocent pictures (which I’ve talked about before here: Photography presents a unique problem for law enforcement because it is not illegal).
The response is as useful as the law:
An officer making an arrest under section 58A must reasonably suspect that the information is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
While also stating that:
It is a statutory defence for a person to prove that they had a reasonable excuse for eliciting, publishing or communicating the relevant information.
I’m so glad that’s all cleared up.
