Midnapur,May 26, 2009:- Five persons including two women & two children died on the spot & forty people were injured in a terrible accident at Salboni at about 4 pm. last afternoon. The injured were taken in a hospital nearby. A minibus loaded with passengers was running at a high-speed.Meanwhile a lorry was coming from the opposite direction. The minibus tried to overtake a passenger bus & thus collided with the lorry. As a result part of the minibus was damaged. Five persons including the driver died on the spot. Local people rushed to the spot & rescued the trapped passengers. Of the injured taken to the hospital, seven persons were let off after first-aid & the rest was hospitalised. The minibus driver was arrested. A police enquiry is in progress.

LeadPress get's bad press, it's fake and I think I know why.

LeadPress get's bad press, it's fake and I think I know why.

Not many of you know that I sometimes read the blogs of Trace Richardson. (Okay so maybe Andy Beard and Vlad Zablotskyy might have guessed this given the coverage of benny boy.)

Not satisfied with trying to sue Vlad it seems that benny might also be trying to defame Trace Richardson and his business (LeadPress). Sharp minds might recall that something similar happened to Vlad and it was Vlad's reporting of this that he was sued over.

To head off anything like that happening to me I want to pause and state that it is pure conjecture from me, at this stage, that benny is behind the hate. But it does look fairly damning going on reported MO. I believe it is him.

So where were we before the disclaimers. Oh yes: LeadPress which has that same sort of word pattern as LeapFish and SoapDish but I digress again.

The attack (I see it as that) has taken the form of a series of reports on RipOffReport.com saying that LeadPress had done bad things to customers.

The problem is the company is not yet trading. It has zero customers so ho can there be three bad reviews?

(Hint: they must be false).

Trace is no child to take that sort of thing and has gone on the offensive offering $250,000 to each of the three complainants if they can prove that they were ever customers and exist as real people with the names they have given.

Whither the big parties?

Whither the big parties?

Via Letters From A Tory, I see that Raedwald has been speculating that the reforms engendered by the expenses scandals might lead to a serious restructuring of party politics.

Attention will now start to shift to the state of the parties. With an electorate in the UK of 45m, the combined membership of the three main parties barely exceeds 450,000, or 1% of the electorate.
...

So what will become of the big, central, Statist parties with their hunger for vast sums of cash?

Well, I think that I can guess. Despite Raedwald's contention that "the public mood has now turned unequivocally away from any suggestion of State funding", I am afraid that these thieving cunts still haven't realised this. Or, possibly they have realised it, and they just don't give a shit.

Because here is an article by James Purnell at CiF: can you guess what he says?

Amid the current anger at politicians and politics we must bite the bullet of state funding for political parties...

You know what, James, you thieving bastard? You go fuck yourself, why don't you? Go fuck yourself with a big, splintery stick wrapped in barbed wire, salt and lemon juice. Go on: fuck off and get fucked.

Or, as Longrider so eloquently puts it...

No, no, no! A thousand times, NO!

If a party cannot secure funding from people who want to support it because they believe in its values, then it fails, pure and simple. I do not support the core values of the three main parties, I therefore do not want a penny of my money used to fund their election campaigns. Parties survive or die because of their grass roots support. If they alienate that support, then they must pay the price. I used to be a Labour party member and happily paid my membership fees. When I realised that the Labour party did not share my standards of ethical behaviour, I withdrew that support. I’ll be damned if they should take it back by force, which is what Purnell is proposing. This is highly unethical.

Unethical? Sounds like standard Labour policy to me...

ESRI Releases JavaScript API V1.4

ESRI Releases JavaScript API V1.4

Posted on May 29, 2009, 5:33 pm, by James Fee, under GIS.

Looks like ESRI got out JSAP v1.4 just before the weekend. Some items of note:

Enhancements to the ESRI JavaScript API (this is inside the JSAPI, not the ESRI ArcGIS Server JavaScript API Bing Maps for Enterprise Extender) include a new BingTiledLayer and support for the Bing Maps for Enterprise Geocoder. Great news for those who have built their practice on Bing, but would rather use the ESRI JSAPI (because isn’t it better to admit you work with the ESRI JSAPI than the Bing Maps for Enterprise API?). It also includes support for the ArcGIS Server Network Extension for routing, some really neat graphic rendering and much more (including the bug in IE7). So if you’ve got nothing going on this weekend, check it out and get a jump on next week. (just change your code to reference 1.4).

Me? I’m going to order myself up some nice Harry & David Bing Cherry Chocolate Cheesecake and celebrate!
