Are Pandas just Giant Badgers? - The Truth!

Apparently a few folks have been left with a void in their life after my last blog post. The reason? I never confirmed whether Pandas are in fact giant badgers.

Let's look at the evidence. I've linked to these photos found via http://images.google.com and any copyright etc is of course that of the photographers, and indeed badger/panda perverts. Too much? Think I could still get in trouble? Ack, who cares, after all badgers rock!!!

Panda

Looking at the two of these can there be any doubts that they aren't the result of ridiculous cross breeding of Zebras and Dalmations?

Especially this nasty looking one.....

Dangerous Badger

Are Pandas just Giant Badgers?

I thought I better blog something seeing as how I'd hit the dreaded "There are no blog entries available" message.

To be honest, I've been too busy with things to even contemplate blogging. The primary things being moving house and the fact I get married two weeks today.

From a technie perspective, I've moved hosting company, and will in fact be targeting to have all our clients live at Hostway (www.hostway.co.uk).

Moving also allowed me the chance to upgrade CF from 8.0 to 8.01 though this particular server is still 32 bit. Internally we're running everything on 64 bit, and we'll be looking to deploy everything at Hostway on 64 bit.

And that's about it ... oh, there is news coming about Scotch on the Rocks, but not quite yet ... on, and I may be in Munich at the end of November. Stay tuned.

p.s. and if you're wondering about the title of this blog posting, it's just a random thing.
