2008 Stands to be a pivotal year for the finalisation of the ‘New World Order’.
We can look forward to things to becoming calmer and more orderly, greater successes, stability and happiness.

Legendary Bankers
It seems that over the weekend three bankers have made it into the legendary league occupied by the likes of Soros, Buffet and John Arnold.
Dan Spark, Michael “Swenny” Swenson and Josh Birnbaum collectively netted $4bn profits for Goldman Sachs in a speculative gamble.
Sub-primes
The 4 bet that sub-primes would turn sour by the end of the year, netting the bank $4bn in profits, more than off-setting it’s own exposure to the sub-primes market.
Work hard, do your research
Goldman stands to be one of the biggest winners from the situation to date with over $19bn in it’s bonus kitty.
Just goes to show, you get nothing for betting on a sure thing.
Blogger Tag Cloud Script
Being bored on a Monday morning, I wrote this script.
Its’ for bloggers with an FTP account, (non-blogspot account), this tag cloud will read the contents of your ‘labels’ folder and create a formatted cloud of links based on file sizes and category headings.
Blogger Tag Cloud Script – (php server – php 4 or higher)

// php tag cloud - blogger ftp accounts tag cloud for labels folder.
// The tag cloud automatically takes the contents of your labels folder,
// reads the files and gives the values according to the number of posts.
// Change the 'labels' location marked.
// Please leave my little marker at the bottom. Thanks.
$handle = opendir('../labels/'); // change **
if (!empty($handle))
{
while (false !== ($page = readdir($handle)))
{
if ($page != "." && $page != "..")
{ $filesize = filesize('../labels/'.$page); // change **
$labels[] = array ("page" => $page, "filesize" => $filesize); }
}
}
// tag cloud functionality ===
foreach ($labels as $key => $value){
$tags[$value["page"]] = $value["filesize"];
}
$max_size = 180; // max font size in %
$min_size = 58; // min font size in %
$max_qty = max(array_values($tags));
$min_qty = min(array_values($tags));
$spread = $max_qty - $min_qty;
if (0 == $spread) {
$spread = 1;
}
$step = ($max_size - $min_size)/($spread);
foreach ($tags as $key => $value) {
$size = $min_size + (($value - $min_qty) * $step);
echo 'style="font-size: '.$size.'%; font-weight: 200; "'; // change **
$delim = '.';
$page = substr($key, 0, strpos($key, $delim));
echo ' title="'.$page.'" >'.$page.' ';
}
// end tag cloud

Angelina Jolie – Locations of chidren
Using this photograph of Angelina Jolie’s tattoo, I’ve geolocated each of her spawn.
And this map shows the location of each of Angelina Jolie’s children from the latitude and longitude tattoo’s on her arm.
Bearing in mind one of her children was born in a pond, we can only assume GPS was not experiencing the leaps forward of modern days.
Unless she wants to get them lazered out and corrected, here they are.
