Quality Journalism

"The part played by the referee and his unlucky assistant whose view of Drogba appeared to be blocked by Darren Fletcher
was to award six to one side and half a dozen to the other..."
- Patrick Barclay, Chief Football Commentator of The Times



It must be quantum (Source: Redcafe.net)


More recycled stuff, this time cribbed from RedCafe.

As highlighted by this particularly egregious instance, one wonders if reporters actually bother to watch - or research - the matches for which they dash off hundreds of words.

Not that one can complain too much about the result, given that the referee somehow missed sending Neville off and giving a penalty for what could be described at best as "a good old-fashioned shoulder charge" on Anelka, that came nowhere near to taking the ball. The match officials were probably not biased - just very poor all around.


Measures of relative importance


Purchased a 1.5TB Samsung Spinpoint internal hard drive from Sim Lim Square (at S$148*/**), after getting hundreds of gigabytes of data - some areas of CS require but pen and paper, just not mine. Hope it gets along well with the other Samsung and two Seagates (each a piffy 150-odd GB; how did I ever survive back then?).

*Note 1: according to edchong and twm, prices are somehow rather lower in the States. And I thought we were a manufacturing mecca...

**Note 2: This works out to less than US$0.00007 per megabyte; Twenty years ago, memory cost about US$10 per megabyte (not even one good photo nowadays), thirty years ago, some US$200, and US$10000 back in 1956.

As a side bonus, I found out that an *.inf file was messing with the icon and label of one of my drives, and finally got around to defragmenting my drives/backing up critical data - a hard disk failure is the easiest way not to graduate, after all.

More: Bolo Santosi appears to have boosted the blog readership tremendously in the short term, breaching the (admittedly small potatoes) mark of 400 pageviews/day for the first time in aeons. You go, gahrl!

By the way, The New Paper revealed that the voice actress for Santosi is actually a Brit, Liz Sutherland - but she does have a Teochew Singaporean mother, and resided here until she was seventeen. Just Cause 2 also supposedly has Hokkien vulgarities; score two for realism.

$2549.50/$2600 - almost caught up. This week's selection:

$50 on Sunderland to beat West Ham (at 3.15)
