Quick side note

I usually receive about one PM a month from the same person asking me technical questions about LJ (waves at she knows who she is!!)

In the last week I have received about a dozen, which I am slowly working my way through replying to. I'm sorry for my tardiness, but at the moment it's a bit unavoidable. I had life just under control, but have added 45 minutes of physio to each day, which has had appalling flow-on effects to my schedule (old injuries, should have been seen to years ago, nothing desperate). So, sorry! I'll get back to you shortly!

Oh young people ...

I caught a news snippet while rushing to get dressed this morning. It was on the 10th anniversary of Wikipedia, and the journalist was interviewing a schoolboy who looked about 17. He told her that he used Wikipedia regularly and found it to be a good source. When the journalist asked him about the varying credibility and skill of Wikipedia contributors, he stared in wide-eyed horror.

After a moment, he replied, 'Well, I've only just found out about that. I thought that there was a central place it all came from where everything was checked! This is big news. I am going to have to think about this at length!'

Twelve hours later, I have nearly stopped giggling.
