blog meme #42

Tagged:  •    •  

Following on from Mr Joxer's meme post:

"There's not a single planet in the solar system where men can live."

This is from The Other Side of the Sky by Arthur C. Clarke, which has been sitting on my desk, under a pile of broken hard disks since March.

After winning the LUV presidency, Donna got handed a few boxes of paperwork with, amongst the MySQL 3.x manuals and Fedora Core 1 and 2 CDs, a little gem. Well, three little gems actually. Three glossy CALU flyers :-)

After a great talk about MediaWiki by Brianna Laugher at LUV last night, I have a few things for my todo list that I need to look at and probably play with on the LUV wiki.

Dear intertubes,

Until such time as there is an officially announced result in the US elections, I do not need estimated outcomes from absolutely everyone on the minute, every minute.

Dear Minister Conroy,

I'm an IT professional living in Melbourne and I have been following discussions about the proposal to filter all internet traffic coming into Australia. This proposal has me both worried and somewhat bemused.

The worry stems from a lack of any clear information on what "illegal content" is and no way of determining what sites would be blocked. Support group websites? Politically inconvenient sites? Overseas news papers? Proposing such broad censorship laws in the name of protecting children is wrong. The state is not a parent.
