I enjoyed this piece in the Guardian Arts Blog (reproduced in Monday’s paper). Much of it is the usual debate about new media vs. old media and online behaviour, which different people will agree with or disagree with either in whole or in part, or not care about, but the bit at the end must […]

All sing along now, to the tune of Eminem’s “Without Me” Guess who’s back Back again Bob is back Tell a friend Guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back.. And the chorus: Chorus: Now this looks like a job for B […]

So that was 2006?
December 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life
There is still a week to go before the end, but I am going to assume nothing much will happen in that time – or should that be hope that nothing will happen (bearing in mind the terrorist fears in today’s Observer)? It has been a mixed year really. Music As far as music is […]

Apologies for absence

On Saturday I really should have gone up to London to meet up with fellow Labour bloggers (plus a token Tory or two). A combination of a general lack of motivation at the moment, a lot of family activity in the two weeks before christmas, a shortage of funds courtesy of Christmas and an overwhelming […]

How long has this Political Opinions site been going then?
The power of political blogs
November 15th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Politics
Now that we are less than six months from another lot of local elections it might be a good time to think about the power of political websites, specifically blogs and how they will affect the outcomes. Having thought about it, my opinion is that they will have little or no effect, for several reasons: […]
The plot thickens
November 13th, 2006 · Comments Off on The plot thickens · Technology
Here is the timeline: Friday: someone tells me about one of our newest borough councillors having an entry on Wikipedia. Saturday: I mention it on this site. Sunday: Its all gone. The entry has vanished and the username which created it has gone too. So no trace remains, proving that Wikipedia does, indeed, heal itself. […]
Spam Loophole
November 12th, 2006 · Comments Off on Spam Loophole · Technology
Over the last few days I have had three bits of spam get past the filters and the moderation via an unanticipated back door – trackbacks. So far it is just one source – a Flickr account which is now defunct and I hope it will prove to be too much trouble for others to […]

I am disappointed. I noticed a lot more hits than normal today, and a lot of them are coming from searches for “redwatch” or from the redwatch site itself, no doubt a result of the G2 article. A couple of them in the last hour went to the “respond” part of my post on the […]
