I’m attending @media in Islington this Thursday and Friday. I know that some of the regular readers of this blog aren’t attending this year, but is anyone who reads this attending?

So there’s this news story that everyone’s blogging about and I’m not. I’m not even commenting on it on other people’s blogs. I was writing a comment to make a minor factual point about a background issue when I realised that it would either be the most boring comment ever or seem to be a comment on the main issue. So I gave up and wrote this instead.

E-mail I just sent to Lloyds TSB:

> Dear Valued Customer,

Hang on a moment. I closed my account with Lloyds TSB in 2001 or 2002. I really shouldn’t be in your system anymore. Please fix it so that I don’t keep on receiving these e-mails. It was funny for the first year or two, now it’s just spam.

Back in 2005 or so I did actually test whether I could still log onto their systems. I could, but as there were no accounts associated with the login I couldn’t do anything. But it’s nice to know they still value my custom after all these years.
