It has been a day of multi-tasking for the Gorse Fox. One advantage of being surrounded by computers is that he can do, read, and research many things at once - as they pop into his vacant skull. Today has seen the GF building resource plans, completing contract documents (for trolls to screw up later), completing project pricings (for trolls to screw up later), debating how best to help the Esteemed Client (for trolls to screw up later), catching up on blogs, and researching a new camera. With an impending birthday GF has asked his friend Mr Amazon to send him a fine new toy.

As an aside, GF is one of those people who is allergic to nuts. Not all nuts. He has no trouble with peanuts, slight trouble with cashews, and then real trouble with walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, and fanatical funamentalists. Ananova caught his eye, however, with this story:

A Kent student found a steel bolt in a "healthy" supermarket ready meal.

"He thought it was bone, but we were all shocked when we saw it was a large silver bolt."
