congrats admin

Well done admin.  After a few hiccups nook seems to be working again and with some new frills.  So, (guarded) congratulations.  Lets hope it continues to do so. 

clean sweep ?

Doesn’t look much different, except that a lot of posts have disappeared - so, nothing new there.

apple logies 2

It seems posts are getting through but not comments, except for Lady C who seems to have the magic somehow.
Apple logies to all nookers, especially those like winnierose seeking help and/or advice.
Anyway, hang in there nookers.  Perhaps after the much vaunted spring clean we will be in touch again.

starsign discrepancy

I’m not really into astrology – I mean, there are only twelve star signs so what is right for you is right for one twelfth of the world population, go figure.  But I was discussing it the other day and it suddenly struck me as being all wrong.
 
If, like me, you are born in June […]

free music ?

There has been a previous thread on music copyright but now a couple of UK bands are taking things a step further.
 
Radiohead have release their seventh album, In Rainbows, as an internet download only.  Downloaders pay as little or as much as they choose.
 
The Charlatans made their latest single available on the web for free.
 
Both […]

dead man walking

It seems, if all the opinion polls are right, that John Howard, the consummate politician, will be ditched by the electorate for all the wrong reasons.  Elected in ‘96 and subsequently re-elected three times - he must be doing something right.  But now he stands to be ousted by a relatively inexperienced newcomer who espouses […]

keeping active in retirement

What do retired people do all day ?  Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
 
Well, for example, the other day I went into town and went into a shop.  I was only in there for  about 5 minutes.  When I came out there was a cop writing out […]

Diehard

Saw Diehard 4.0 at the weekend.  My opinion, don’t bother.  The plot is ridiculous; a disillusioned security expert decides to teach US national security a lesson by recruiting a team of hackers, whom he subsequently wipes out with professional hit-men, and hacking into everything:  traffic management, stock exchange, tv& radio - all simualtaneously.  The action […]

word of the week - sousveillance

 
Sousveillance is the recording or monitoring of real or apparent authority figures by others, particularly those who are generally the subject of surveillance.
The term “sousveillance” stems from the contrasting French words sur, meaning “above”, and sous, meaning “below”, i.e. “surveillance” denotes the “eye-in-the-sky” watching from above, whereas “sousveillance” denotes bringing the camera or other means […]

how many ?

Question for Admin.  How many nooks, nookers, nooksters, nookites are there?  The number of new nooks increases daily but it seems the vast majority of these never post.  Are there any sats?  Can we see them?
