Those of you who use an Instant Messenger program like gaim or trillian (they work with msn messenger, icq, aol, y!, and more) you should be aware that MSN Messenger Access To Be Restricted.
This is because Microsoft are blocking the old protocol for unspecified "security" reasons.
The reason that they "would encourage those third parties to contact us to work out agreements by which they can continue to have their customers access our network." is even less clear.
Unless you think this is the way Microsoft behaves.
This probably mean that any Linux users will be unable to chat to their friends on msn.

Link of the Day seem to have appeared on The Silly Pages on JohnHarrison's Wiki (near as I can tell it's some kind multi user link & comment dump, with forward and backward cross linking)

I'm off on my holidays next week so if anyone would like to add links while I'm away (and once I'm back, in fact. I'm sure other people must run across sites like octodog.net and feel an inexplicable need to share them), please contact me and I'll add you to the blog authors list and give you my backlog of links for a rainy day.
