This is as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

Lots of posts stacked up over Heathrow at the moment, like one about LugRadio Live USA, but for now I just have one bit of news. This morning, Niamh, my daughter, went to an audition to join the Stagecoach Talent Agency, and she was hugely successful. So successful, in fact, that they're already putting her forward for an audition for a part on CBeebies, the children's TV channel in the UK. It is possible that I may burst with pride. Fifteen years from now when she wins the Best Actress Oscar, I can look back and say "this is where it started". CeCe Bloom, eat your heart out. So proud. They said she was excellent.

I've been noodling about in Inkscape, and reading The Order Of The Stick, a webcomic. It's got a unique visual style, which always makes me laugh, and I thought (despite my lack of artistic ability): I wonder if I could do that? (there's the SVG too to look at, which is a better size, although it's 1MB because of the embedded images) I'm not brilliantly happy with Chris or Adam, but I think Jono and I came out OK :) Maybe I should do a LugRadio webcomic. Inkscape's a really good tool, by the way. The people who do it should feel very proud. I am distinctly short of artistic ability, and I've barely used Inkscape before, and I managed to put that together in relatively short order. Good work, Inkscape team. Oh, yes, and LugRadio Live USA is this Saturday. We're coming to America. Get ready.

Q: Wait a second. I live in the US. Does this mean I’m now 2 days behind Australia?
A: Yes. Yes it does.

I don't normally like April Fools' stuff on the web, but I'll make an exception for this one :)
