Yoz Grahame's Unresolvable Discrepancy

I came here to apologise and eat biscuits, and I'm all out of biscuits

Quick random updates

Posted: July 3rd, 2002 Comments Off

Went out last night with the bot hackers, talked lots about
RDF,
FOAF, trusted vs untrusted code,
Jabber, Jo Walsh scaring the shit
out of me, etc. etc. It all needs to churn in my brain for a while. In the meantime:

  • Warchalk Now! has been updated – Dean sent
    me a new version that lays things out differently, has new bits, etc.
  • Shortly after I wrote about UKPCKeyboard, I was looking for something else
    entirely when I discovered that Phil had
    already found
    a different solution to the problem
    . While it involves more work than just
    downloading and running a program, Tim thinks that Phil’s solution is probably the
    better one, as it doesn’t involve scary kernel modules that may crash your machine
    on the next OS update.
  • I didn’t make it to Glastonbury, but Radio 1 broadcast a fantastic poppy
    chill-out session in the Blue Room – for the next couple of days you can pick up
    the Real stream
    here.
    It starts off quite hectic as they’re changing DJs over, but rapidly mellows out.
    (Cheers, Matt)
  • One of the best blogs I’ve ever seen:
    BLOGGUS CAESARI.
  • Oh, and Nottingham City Council says that
    you shag cats.
