Well it seems that Queensland finally got its LAN party.
I noted the speculation 2 years ago, and it seems to have finally happened (without Howard to put it off). The Liberal and National parties in Queensland have merged to form one conservative party in the northern state.
Though I think they got the name wrong.
Apparently they are now called the Liberal National Party, or LNP for short.
Looks like a missed opportunity. Should have been the LAN party 
Yesterday I received the usual email with a summary of domain name news. Though the response about one of the articles was more interesting.

Possibly a sample of future access denied error messages?
Looks like someone needed to look at their own network policy
It seems to have been fixed now, so for those people who missed out on seeing the error, here is a screen capture:

Just had the G8 summit in Tokyo. Lots of notices about beefed up security. And bins have been blocked off so you can use them, er put bombs in them.
It is funny though to find that in a society that is very particular about which bin you use, even the alternate bins are designated burnable and non-burnable.
It seems Kyoto is planning to take drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gasses. Close all the convenience stores (combini to the Japanese).
Well, not quite that drastic. Japan Today reports that Kyoto is encouraging convenience stores to close early, so as to reduce their carbon foot print.
But would they still be convenient if only open 7am to 11pm?
And what about all the other 24 institutions, like Pachinko parlours? I can’t see them closing early.
