Belated Weekend Post

I had a really top notch weekend. I normally don't do diary type entries, but I thought I'd give it a go. Plus I reckon there's a chance I'll look back on this in the future and smile. There doesn't seem to be anything private in it, so I'm not going to lock it.


Friday: ( 100 blank white cards & Wii )

Saturday: ( Cross Trainer, Haircut, Fancy Dress Party )

Sunday: ( Iron Man, Flimsy Crotch )

linkdump, and genetics effects on MS

Useful addition to a hosts file to prevent anything from and ads server from being accessed. General info if you want to figure out what I'm talking about.

May be of interest to medieval and social network scholars on my flist :)

I just saw this snippet about MS:

Some populations, such as the Roma, Inuit, and Bantus, rarely if ever develop MS. The indigenous peoples of the Americas and Asians have very low incidence rates.

And immediately thought about the European mutation, that confers HIV resistance, and the way that a lot of stories end up with Natives catching diseases from the colonists rather than the other way round.

Could these three things be related?
