this is blatantly taken from another web site about credit ratings. It is in regards to inquiries about credit ratings reducing your rating – it turns out that it does, if there are more than 2 requests in a 60 day period it will affect your rating, but that this effect will expire after 12 months. I didn’t realize that it can happen, until Dave mentioned it.
Gleb’s home country?
It looks like Gleb’s home country is in trouble. Mind you it’s the 3rd revolution in 16 months, so it may not be all that bad! Revolution is revolution no matter how many times it happens.
Bob Fisk
Yet another Op-ed piece from Robert Fisk. This one is in the Seattle Post-Intelligencier. It’s about the War’s effect being felt across the Mideast.
Scary biscuits.
Network acting up
Well, I always wondered what the story was with the network in college, and while nothing quite like this ever happened to us, it would not have been difficult to fulfill the computer’s wishes for us either.
Grandad’s Memoirs
Index of /memoirs
This is a sliced up copy of my grandfather’s memoirs of the Irish war of Independence, and the irish Civil War. They were transferred from reel-to-reel tape to standard audio tape, and from there to the PC, where I normalized the audio (I may have missed some tracks), and then split the sound into files relating to the specific stories.
Jammie Dodgers
How can anyone not like the irresistable jammie dodger? It is a biccie from god.

The Driven
Jesus loves you more if you can drive is the song, the driven is the band.
Well it’s not all bad
Turns out that everyone was being really really paranoid, and we were getting lines crossed. the reason my mother was being held in the hospital was that she was required to remain really still for about 5-6 hours after the procedure. The overall analysis was that she has only 50% blockage, which should be remediable via drugs.
Happiness
Head over Heels From the files of the underdogs comes the game that really made me happy and frustrated.
Stent
Today/Tomorrow my mother is getting a stent put in, which is a wire tube put in to keep the artery open after an angioplasty. Our family being the conversationalists that they are are keeping this a secret form one another. It’s only by phoning people directly that we find out what’s happening, my mom doesn’t want to tell anyone that it’s going on.
I’ve just been informed that this is just suspected, there is no absolute certainty about this as the doctor has not got back in touch with my mother yet. Sheesh! This is compounded by the fact that I’m in New York this week, and they are in Cork, Ireland.
