Tim Worstall has the latest Britblog roundup. Bruce Schneier has an analysis of the potential for corruption at the Papal election (lower than in Birmingham, for sure). Vice Squad has evidence that drinking makes you want to smoke. Dsquared has a correct assessment of Excel:

"No fuck off. Excel is the spreadsheet program of champions, endorsed by no fewer than five winners of the ‘Financial Analyst of the Year’ [award]".

Damn right. However, his verdict on Powerpoint is still wrong. And less upbeatly, Dave Weeden has inexplicable medical trouble which might cut his blogging output, his drinking input, and therefore his drunk blogging output. This is all sad news.
