The Seven Warning Signs Of Bogus Science. Now if only someone could devise seven warning signs for political bollocks, life would suddenly get a whole lot simpler…

1. Having managed to find a PS/2-to-USB converter (no problem the other way around, but there’s obviously few of us out there who need to connect a PS/2 mouse to a USB port) and plugged in my trackball again, it’s now playing up – the pointer speed is fine in everything but Safari, where it’s half the speed.
2. It seemed like a good idea to take a quick look under the horrible lino on the bathroom floor to see if was glued down – as a prelude to ripping it up and tiling the floor. It was glued down – but by mould rather than glue. It turns out that the shower tray has been leaking for a considerable period of time – so the base was rotten and the plasterboard behind the tiling has gone manky. So now we’ve got a large hole where the shower cubicle used to be, and I’m wondering how much of the plasterboard on the two affected walls I’m going to need to pull off so that it’s possible to get the tiling back on and looking half-decent.
3. Authentication on the demo wiki is playing up for no good reason, which is going to make it difficult to demo to a client tomorrow.

So anyone trying to sell me something through a cold call this morning will be in for a shock…
