Net nasties!

"Unfortunately some unscrupulous bloggers have taken the trackback facility and subverted it, so that they can get a free link to their site without actually writing a proper article. Needless to say, the people who use this tactic generally aren't doing it to provide a useful service to the Web user – they're doing it to try to make money..." Dave bemoans the subversion of yet another useful Web technology – and warns about the need to keep software up-to-date and secure.

Butter me up!

"British Indian Restaurant food bears very little resemblance to authentic Indian food, such as you'll find in this book. That said, butter chicken is a popular dish both in British restaurants and in restaurants in India itself. It's not something that people would normally make at home in India but it's so popular that Camellia Panjabi has created a simplified version which you can do at home. Here's how I made it." See Kay's photo-essay of how to make murgh makhani, better known in Britain as butter chicken.

Bliss at the Bayview

"We made our way up to Floor 9 and round the cavernous atrium to our room. As soon as we walked in we knew we'd got our money's worth – it was clean and generously sized, with a comfortable king-sized bed, a settee and coffee table, plus a desk and chair, complete with cable for a 2MB broadband connection at a reasonable RM20 for 24 hours." Kay and Dave return to Penang after three years and discover excellent value for money from the Bayview Hotel.
