WikipediaVision

Near-realtime mapping of anonymous Wikipedia edits. Achieves very little, but still very cool.

Despite our litigious society…

…or perhaps because of it, we need to see more of this sort of thing, put snotty little smartassed kids back in their boxes.

(Presuming it’s not mocked up of course…)

Forgot to say, I’ll be in the Franciscan Well from 6 or 7 this evening for a few pints. There’ll be a few CLUGgers there, and a few Boardsies. See you later if you’re around. Email for my number if you need to help finding us. :)

If Facebook were real…

O2 Customer Forum

30/04/2008

I’m delighted to report that O2 launched a customer forum this afternoon — partly because I had an involvment, but also because it’s great to see large companies inviting their customers in and communicating with them. There’s a lot of mistakes to be made in the online community business, but I get the impression O2 have the very best of intentions with these forums, long may they continue!

The car doesn’t do a whole lot for me, but that’s one sexy interior.

This is the new logo for HM Treasury’s Office of Government Commerce. Have a look at it there from a few angles, see if it reminds you of anything…

GardaÃ entitled to request Internet data for “public order offenses”.

22/04/2008

Surely it should be “minimum custodial sentence”? Perhaps it’s just a transcription error. But isn’t this equivalent – or worse, in some cases – than the GardaÃ being allowed to access your bank or medical records for the same offenses? For a minor assault?

ENN: The Irish Times says that the Government has broadened the range of criminal investigations for which the Garda are able to request e-mail and internet data retained by internet service providers. In the latest draft of the statutory instrument implementing European directives on data retention, “serious offences” would be defined as “any offence for which a person… could receive a maximum custodial sentence of six months”. Offences that could now be deemed “serious” include public order offences or minor assault.
