Elections in Peru and Italy- so what”s happening? Most of the focus is what”s going on with Berlusconi -who”s apparently not admitting defeat yet. the latest news indicates that Romano Prodi, the centre-left opposition leader has won by a slim majority, but nothing will be confirmed till the expat votes are counted. According to the BBC, “the latest results give Prodi”s bloc 49.8% against Berlusconi”s 49.7%.
Everyone”s waiting with bated breath - what will happen next? Will Berlusconi go out quietly or stage a Bush-style coup ( you know get your mates at the Supreme Court to pull a few strings..etc. etc. )
Meanwhile, in Peru, things aren”t that much clearer, with the outcome of the presidential race still undecided. the preliminary results for three contenders -including the former president alan garcia - are as follows -
Ollanta Humala 30.86%
Alan GarcÃÂa 24.79%
Lourdes Flores 23.61%
But the again, its becoming clearer that the expat vote could make a big difference.
Nice to hear from another open source geek. Firefox is way better than IE. Ubuntu is also way better than Windows.
yeah man! no contest there. i really like the ubuntu interface: and its a lovely jubbly word as well. hmm i like your blog - i think i shall link to you.
aha Ceridwen - now ive linked to you, are you staying on Blogger or moving over to Wordpress or both. i had a blog over on Blogger and boy it sucked big time, im sticking to Worpress. ( though i havent worked out the whole font thing yet..) as you say, open source rocks..
At the moment I’m using both. I’m new to WordPress so still getting used to it. Old Blogger. Yes, it does have its drawbacks, but hey it got us into Google. I want to start a campaign called “Page 4 on Google. The cool place to hang out.” Bit of a long sentence for a T-shirt though. Thanks for the link.

one thing you REALLY need is a spam blocker!! I just subscribed to your comment feed……..and it looks UGLY
Oh yes i certainly do! Boy these spammers, i shall be going back and deleting all the onces that slipped through the net.
Thanks for the offer Inka, i do seem to have a problem with my fonts! im going to see what i can learn about it first but i may have some questions soon..
“im going to see what i can learn about it first but i may have some questions soon..”
I like this kind of attitude
Thanks! Yes too many people nowadays are just so eager to dump their stuff on someone else - anyone’s who’s kind enough to offer - and then run and hide and wait for things to be done for them. Self-sufficiency i say, though i’d better get down to it and learn some html quick.
well siad.
nevertheless, don’t hesitate to ask when your research is running out of steam…
I just don’t have anything to say right now.
