Intersting things you find out while reading The Times at lunchtime..

1. Jack Davenport from This Life is married to Michelle Gomez, the insane Scottish one from Green Wing!!

2. The government is thinking of taxing private use for email and web made of computers at work by taxpayers (thinks: how the fuck are they going to enforce that one without imposing blanket monitorig requirements on employers in breachof ECHR rights of privacy??)

3. The finals of a major surfing competition are being held in.. Thurso!!! spikeiowa wins!!

4. Also, a really funny Dr Who review (Actually Google makes it pretty clear CM is a huge DT fan. Not any relation to Dylan, I suppose?)

Aaaah, they're sayng that employers can get tax-free computers, but if those PCs are actually for personal use then they have to pay tax on them.

So not "You'll have to pay 5p every time you send an email", which is what I originally misunderstood it as...

Yeh - but it still seems to imply a need for a lot of monitoring/logging..

[andrewducker]

True.

Of course, any medium/large sized organisation already does that, for fear of employees spending all day surfing the web...
