London Theatre Breaks

I think the number of people wanting London theatre breaks is going to hold up even when there's not so much spending money about for some. The recession will hit some sectors more than others, and there's clearly a mood to wait for bargains. Longer holidays abroad are starting to wane in any case, with people wanting to take short breaks more frequently and UK short breaks with a West End Show hotel and rail travel all combined will continue to look tempting.
Not all of the current shows will survive though. Musicals come and go and plays have a shorter lifespan.

I'm in two minds about Sister Act Theatre Breaks for example, and not 100% about Oliver after the first year. Dirty Dancing, Mamma Mia and We Will Rock You and Hairspray will remain ever popular.

Went for a walk in Wanstead Park yesterday because the air was clear and crisp coming in from the arctic.

No more squirrel pictures!

I've been trying out identi.ca which is a microblogging platform like twitter that runs on open source software and has a potential for federating the servers to become a decentralised peer to peer system.


Here's the Friendfeed room for identi.ca

Why Human Cloning is bad or good by Frankie Roberto

He seems to have made this quickly in a visit to Centre Des Science de Montreal.



I like the way the rest of the team falls about when he says "I think cloning is really good"

Blog and viewer influence on BBC news agenda

Blog and viewer influence on BBC news agenda: "The BBC's The Editors blog continues to be one of the most interesting and useful media blogs around.

...

He also discusses the strange case of someone being surprised when they discovered that Newsnight editors were reading about them, he sense that people somehow feel that what they write on blogs is somehow, sometimes a private conversation, and not exposed to the all-seeing eyes of Google and Technorati.

Solved

I was researching this problem in a drupal community forum and it turns out that there is a security module which some hosting providers turn on which blocks execution of anything with the string “xmlrpc” in it!

The real solution is to persuade them to unblock it but the temporary answer is to rename that file to something else and use that as the api endpoint
