I�d better post this quick before I�m cut off from this site too.

I feel like Indiana Jones when he was grabbing for his hat as the giant slab of stone was closing on his hand; over the weekend my department blocked access to a large number of sites I regularly visit. These sites aren�t porn, they don�t have spyware or download files to my computer � in fact, other than Gmail which I expected them to twig to at some point anyway, they don�t contravene any of the policies that are supposed to govern employee internet access at all � they are JOURNALS. That�s right, all of blogspot is gone, as is typepad, so it�s only a matter of time before they block Diaryland as well.

So, I�d better quickly let y�all know that I finally have some good news to share.

THE POLICE CAUGHT CHIRSTOPHER SCOTT MCINNES on Saturday (check the last few entries for the background as to why that�s significant). The story ran in the Sun that day and it did bring in some tips but ultimately it wasn�t that that made the difference. A patrol just happened to spot him talking to a hooker in the Market and picked him up.

There will be a couple of hearings � �for cause� and bail � and then, depending on how this guy pleads, it may go to trial.

J�s relief is palpable, though the guy�s two accomplices remain unidentified so it�s not entirely over. In my fantasy world Scott will plead guilty and name his co-conspirators to reduce his sentence, thus netting the other two and relieving J of the need to live through it all again by testifying. By the time any of them get out, J will be onto another business or at the very least another location.

Let�s keep our fingers crossed.

That means no swiping my stuff - text, images, etc. - without asking.

P.S. If you're emailing me, replace the [at] with @ in the "to" line. Oh, and if you put the word "journal" in the subject line it'll have a better chance of making it past my junk mail filters.
