I’ve decided to leave Intergen and move on over to Provoke. It wasn’t an easy decision to make but the offer to work on Provoke’s new “Lirpa Loof” project was too good to pass by…

Provoke’s “Lirpa Loof” project works over Google’s new TiSP service which in turn was built upon the work of early inventor George Washington.

Wish me luck!

Basically, they kidnapped the branch manager by impersonating police officers while simultaneously kidnapping his family, again by impersonating police officers.

Surely that would weigh more than a few tonnes…

UPDATE: Looks like teh revised estimate for the cash they made off with is now somewhere in the £25-50 million range…

You’ve got to be kidding me! Sarah and I recently opened an account with TSB. While they do have an Internet banking facility, it’s pretty simple. I decided to have a look at the source of their webpages and then I saw this:

Talking on MSN to an old school friend of mine who is doing his second tour in Afghanistan with the NZ Army when this we gem popped up:

It seems as though every business is jumping on the guarantee bandwagon these days, last night I saw a McDonalds television advert proclaiming that if your fries aren’t hot at the counter, they will replace them… guaranteed.
