A possible solution for those that object to this political party maybe
nearing. If the BNP have to open their membership to non indigenous peoples
what is to stop asians, orientals and blacks joining.

If the BNP membership is say 20,000 then it would not be outside the realms
of possibility to get 30,000 "ethnics" to join. Once joined they can work
within the constitution of the BNP to change its policies with aim to
dissolving the party. Thus solving the issue of them on the political scene.

Again this would take a bit of commitment by those who oppose the BNP but
if they are serious about their objections it is a solution. Then again it
may suit the establishment for them to be around.

Seem to be getting carried away with 2TwitMe for Palm that I've been
tweeting a lot today and not really thinking about blog posts.
Hopefully that will change and get more than news posts and links here.

Debs is done in and away to bed. She left the telly on Ideal World as she
was watching crafting stuff. I've had a flick through the channels and
found Escape from New York is on ITV4 so that's what its on now.

This Palm app has really changed the way I use my Treo and my blogging. I
find it very easy to use and suits the whole "Zen of Palm" thing.

Its so easy to rattle of a text message sized post and great for talking to
my daughter who never has credit in her phone.

2TwitMe is now at v1.2 and there is a lot of changes for so little increase
in version number. If you have a Palm OS check compatibilty and buy it now
you'll have no regrets. Price at around $5 makes it well affordable and at
the kind of price iPhone users are use to. It seems so cheap to me for a
quality app for Palm that gives it the functionality for Twitter that
Palmers have longed for.

Well done Metaview for this app even though Palm OS is officially dead. Its
spirit and ghost will be around for a good while yet.

Never bloody stopped. We've been at all the extra little jobs that get

think there is still more to do.

Na Feck off

I posted my 1000th tweet last night. It was an @ tweet and it went to my
daughter Paige. I told her that she was a wonderful daughter and that I
loved her. Seems strange thinking that my 1000th tweet was special enough
to send to her and she seems well pleased she got it.

Caught this on Palm Addicts. This is the browser I use for BCUK stuff and
helps by not having to log in all time. Yesterday it was still working so
maybe my setups different. And still is working.

Dead Xiino

For those using the old Palm OS, it seems that the browser Xiino has
finally gone to the digital graveyard. A year or so back, the vendor's
site, Mobirus.com, vanished and rerouted viewers to something else. Now it
seems the Xiino proxy server that fetched your webpages and formatted them
for you (as I understand it) has been taken down. The last couple of days
my attempts to use Xiino have resulted in page downloads that all say
"Unrecoverable error." Once a wonderful browser that you could send links
to then have it download them at one go, storing the pages on the internal
or external memory, or even as Memos. Now seemingly just a memory.
