The IPL's Yorkshire connection is doing well http://ping.fm/vLOJJ Well worth the $50,000 he cost.
Enjoyable chat with @dittotv. Exciting stuff going on there.

just jumped on a Routemaster going through the City. Much nicer than a bendy monstrosity.

Injection of Yorkshire blood propels Rajasthan Royals to first victory
(http://ping.fm/7Qq1y). OK, he
got a first-baller but he's clearly a talisman.

On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
No sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet
To chase the glowing hours with flying feet

Think I have now eliminated the annoying Blackberry advert from my every message. Sorry reader.
Is it the hotel fucking me about, or the online agency? Or both?
Second time this has happened to me: a hotel room I booked online months ago has just been cancelled a few days before the date.

It's a bit like watching Question Time. 95% bleeding obvious. 4% witless questions.

I hope Yorkshire CCC are on the phone to Younis Khan right now. Would be
handy to get him & Mohammed Yousuf on a Kolpak.
I am constantly amazed at the depths sports administrators will plumb:

Apparently Cadbury's are now sponsoring the BBC http://ping.fm/fa2DH
Those whom the gods would destroy, they first give access to the metadata.
Only took two days but blog.dominicsayers.com is back. My 26 readers will rejoice.
Just had to hack the wp_options table to change my siteurl and home and presto!
SiteGround's control panel sucks, but their tech support is very responsive. blog.dominicsayers.com DNS issues resolved. Now to fix the CSS.

What I'm trying to say is that this stuff should just work. Network
Solutions control panel is best, but I hate them for not apologising for my
outage.
Set up a CNAME at my registrar to my blog at SiteGround but still no joy
- still getting a 404 over a day later.
Couldn't get SiteGround's hosting control panel to accept that
blog.dominicsayers.com was available as a subdomain.

Apologies to my loyal reader. Normal blog service will be resumed as soon as the global DNS system sees fit.
Moving my blog from wordpress.com to my own server. Seems to be impossible without some downtime.

Only Yorkshireman in the IPL is Michael Lumb so I guess Rajasthan Royals are my team

Haiti & Chile appear to be on different tectonic plates. Still, wouldn't want to spend much time in SF at the moment. http://bit.ly/bRMhrf
