Why? Why not?

There’s a great article on Cryptome called What’s Wrong With Content Protection. It’s a summary of the efforts being made by corporations to make it impossible for people to duplicate anything.

Well, the revisions to the site are up and running! Yay to the magic of CSS!

We now return you to your scheduled browsing.

Richard Stallman has announced the GNUPedia Project, a project aimed at providing a free, public encyclopedia before corporations have a chance to put a price on everything.

I’m glad to see I’m establishing a tradition in my posts, namely, that of not posting for ages, and then posting saying ‘Wow, I haven’t posted in ages!’.

Just a thought.

Crikey, I didn’t realise it had been so long since I posted. I’m working on a rewrite of the pages, so that they use CSS instead of the Dreamweaver craziness that is DIV tags.

I jjust finished reading Michael Marshall Smith’s ‘One of Us’ the other day, and had the third satori out of three times finishing his books. Somehow, he just manages to get your mind working, without you even realising it, so that when you’re done, you need some time to think about what you’ve just read. Amazing.

I’ve also just finished the fourth Harry Potter book, ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.’ Reading these books is the first time in a very long time that I literally have had trouble putting a book down. To top it off, not only are they a cracking good read, but, as children’s books, they’re amazing. They are the first entertainment made for children I have seen in a long time that have people getting injured, and even dying. Maybe, just maybe, this sort of thing might make people think about the fact that didactic teaching methods have evolved over a long time, and thus might possibly have something in their favour.

I think I’ll write a paper about this and put it in the soon-to-debut Musings section here. I’m planning on uploading a whole heap of stuff at once, including some new wallpapers, some writings from Uni and before, and also finally getting the ‘About me’ page up and running. Yay!

In Honours news, I;m starting to realise that what I will be saying in my honours will be very contentious, and also that, if I pull it off, I’m going to be putting myself up against big names like Kant, Russell, Quine, and so on. Quite scary, really.

Anyway, that’s enough updating for now, given that I’m at Leveraged 2.0, and the General Manager just walked by.
