Terry Pratchett: Living with Alzheimer's has just won a Scottish BAFTA. You can view the video of the awards here, and if you move the scrollbar to just after the stop button, you'll be just about where you need to be to see some of the crew accepting the award.

Kelly's Wedding Adventures start tomorrow, and I'm working on still more job applications, so ack, not much time for anything else. But I had to share a few quick links that have been collecting on my "to post" list:
