23x is no longer the focus

As you can see, this blog has kind of fallen by the wayside as more immediate forms of communicating have become the norm. We nearly lasted a decade; some of the earlier links certainly show their age. This landing page will soon redirect to blog.23x.net so if you like the ramblings of the people who blogged here, follow them on Twitter:

Jared also blogs at blog.23x.net and Monsterbook.

Of course, I'll try to make sure all the links/posts still work through the magic of mod_rewrite and the like, but expect a simpler tumblr-like system for the archived posts.

"thanks for being our reader. You're the breast!"

Dave Allsop and I have started a new blog called MonsterBook. It's going to be fun, so have a look.

Apparently there are a couple of iPhone Spy Apps out there - do you have one running on your iPhone that you didn't know about? :)

PCC response

Dear Jared Earle Thank you for sending us your complaint about the Daily Mail article on the subject of the death of Stephen Gately. We have received numerous complaints about this matter. I should first make clear that the Commission generally requires the involvement of directly affected parties before it can begin an investigation into an article. On this occasion, it may be a matter for the family of Mr Gately to raise a complaint about how his death has been treated by the Daily Mail. I can inform you that we have made ourselves available to the family and Mr Gately's bandmates, in order that they can use our services if they wish. We require the direct involvement of affected parties because the PCC process can have a public outcome and it would be discourteous for the Commission to publish information relating to individuals without their knowledge or consent. Indeed, doing so might unwittingly add to any intrusion. Additionally, one of the PCC's roles is dispute resolution, and we would need contact with the affected party in order to determine what would be an acceptable means of settling a complaint. On initial examination, it would appear that you are, therefore, a third party to the complaint, and wemay not be able to pursue your concerns further. However, if you feel that your complaint touches on claims that do not relate directly to Mr Gately or his family, please let us know, making clear how they raise a breach of the Code of Practice. If you feel that the Commission should waive its third party rules, please make clear why you believe this. Press Complaints Commission
