HP sauce. Food of the gods. Made in Birmingham for years.

Even my good friend Alan from Halifax, Nova Scotia loves it.

HP sauce. Perfect on sausages, greasy fry-ups, veggy burgers, chops - pretty much anything.

The company that bought out the HP brand are now threatening to move production; not to another site within the UK; but to Holland.

Not unsurprisingly there is uproar in Birmingham. Now there is even an online petition - http://www.saveoursauce.co.uk. I urge all HP sauce lovers to show their support.

… there was Planet Novell.

Apologies. I paraphrased and plagiarised.

A planet is “a flexible feed aggregator” - in other words a centralised, ephemeral collection of similar(ish) themed blog posts. A popular implementation is at Planet Planet!

Planet Novell was a pretty busy, reasonably well known site. It has been gone for a while.

Why mention it now?

One thing that was mentioned in the ‘Cool Blogs 1.5‘ project was aggregating Cool Blogs posts from the bloggers own blogs.

A logical extension of this is to resurrect the Novell Planet concept - and really combine all feeds from all Novell bloggers. Not Cool Blogs - where generally we tend to stick to blogging about Novell and our technology but everything from these bloggers - and more. That means posts from Nat, Miguel, Reverend Ted, Michael Meeks - pretty much everyone from Novell and SUSE who blogs - even me.

What do you think? It’ll certainly be an interesting additional insight into how Novell operates - and there’s likely to be a lot of non-technology blogging. A useful companion site to Cool Blogs; or not?

Let us know! We’re going to be working next week in our staging lab testing a lot of the new features.
