Plans for going to the Black Harp quiz tonight were stymied by the fact that, um, they don't have one anymore. El stinko. Anybody recommend anywhere around town which has one on Tuesday nights? Preferably not one run by Live Wire Entertainment but I suppose beggars can't be choosers. The mighty Five Go Mad must rise again!

$10 to whoever can provide footage of Matthew Ridge on "A Game Of Two Halves" threatening to smash anybody who hit a woman. His tactful comment was an attempt to encourage people to give to womens' refuge. I remember this; therefore it happened.

Two vague tv memories of my childhood have been clarified: the western film where a team are sent to rescue a rancher's wife from kidnapping (and she turns out to be reluctant to leave) is The Professionals, and the daytime program about the boy retrieving his football (and meeting Gorgeous George) is The Young Person's Guide to Getting Their Ball Back. Feel free to mentally file this post under "for my own notes".

Caveat: for my own notes more than anything else.
If you're trying to Macromedia JRun (in my case JRun4) connecting to Apache/Apache2 in Debian, the compilation of the connector may go smoothly until you try restarting the server, at which point you get the error:
mod_jrun20.so: undefined symbol: ap_table_get
The solution is to edit mod_jrun20.h (editing C header files WOO HOO) and add the following lines under "/* Apache includes */" (about line 28)
#ifndef ap_copy_table
#define ap_copy_table apr_table_copy
#define ap_cpystrn apr_cpystrn
#define ap_destroy_pool apr_pool_destroy
#define ap_isspace apr_isspace
#define ap_make_array apr_array_make
#define ap_make_table apr_table_make
#define ap_null_cleanup apr_pool_cleanup_null
#define ap_palloc apr_palloc
#define ap_pcalloc apr_pcalloc
#define ap_psprintf apr_psprintf
#define ap_pstrcat apr_pstrcat
#define ap_pstrdup apr_pstrdup
#define ap_pstrndup apr_pstrndup
#define ap_push_array apr_array_push
#define ap_register_cleanup apr_pool_cleanup_register
#define ap_snprintf apr_snprintf
#define ap_table_add apr_table_add
#define ap_table_do apr_table_do
#define ap_table_get apr_table_get
#define ap_table_set apr_table_set
#define ap_table_setn apr_table_setn
#define ap_table_unset apr_table_unset
#define ap_http_method(r) ap_http_scheme(r)#endif /* defined(ap_copy_table) */
Then recompile and it should be working. If I was smart enough I'd provide you with the patch file; alas, my Linux-fu has failed me. This is in addition to installing JRun4 on Debian in the first place, which is, frankly, troublesome.

... was an espresso machine (with which you fail to impress your spy boss after being woken a 5:48am after shagging a foxy Italian spy).
If it's a bit stoppy-startty, it's because I've deliberately embedded the higher-res version of the video as per these instructions. Feel free to click through to the boring old youtube page to watch it in the default low-res format.

Have updated the TVNZ OnDemand greasemonkey script to work on all pages in the site, not just the shows' homepages. This means it should work in the "What's Hot" or "Catch Up" sections.
Mr. Inflatable Kiwi's experiences aside, it should let you download content from overseas, since the geo-locative restrictions are all client-side (IK can send me an email once he's upgraded his version and let me know if it's working).
Download the script from userscripts.org so as to keep the stats accurate.
