Plymouth

Today we travelled to to Plymouth on the South Devon coast.
It was a longish run and the TomTom Navigator on my Pocket PC gave us some agrovation near the destination.
Once we arrived we had a wonder around the area and had lunch and then left before the rush hour.

Padstow

Today we visited the fishing town of Padtow in Notrh Cornwall.
It was suprisingly busy. As it was lunchtime when we arrived we went to a pub to order lunch, after 10 mins we were forced to evacuate due to a fire in the kitchen on the ground floor. So naturally we grabbed our beer and gear and fled downstairs and out to the car park at the front.
Once that was put out we got a refund and went elsewhere.
That was pretty much it for the day. Tomorrow we plan to go to Plymouth in South Devon.

Ilfracombe

Today I visited Ilfracombe on the Devon coast.
Did some walking around the town with the family and had had some lunch and beer.
The weather is great, very warm and dry with a cool breeze off the sea.

Gary McKinnon’s extradition condemned

Supporters of Gary McKinnon have condemned the decision to let the former hacker be extradited to the US. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5157674.stm
 
I say, if there is no evidence then why is he being extradited?
He is being used as a scapegoat for the lax security on US Military and Government computer networks that any script kiddie could get into any day of the week.

The software maker plans to release the third and last beta version of IE 7 on Thursday, getting closer to final delivery by the end of 2006. It will be the first major update to the popular Web browser in five years, and much of the focus for the new version is on security.
“Security was the No. 1 investment we made in IE 7, in terms of our development resources,” Tony Chor, Microsoft’s group program manager for the browser, said in an interview.
