I go out too much…
I think that is the case. I rarely have evenings free at the moment.
Perhaps I’m compensating for my isolation in Leigh-on-Sea for the previous six months. Or perhaps, I’m compensating for the self-imposed isolation I will require for the next four years, as I embark on a new degree in Politics and Society at Birkbeck University.
I shall also soon be blogging on my real life work, so expect some more tech geek stuff soon.
Colonialism still alive and well on Wikipedia
I had to make an edit to an entry on trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) which claims that the loss of colonial authority is responsible for the resurgence of the disease, rather than the forced evacuations of habitable land by the British and their rather disastrous conservation policies.
I notice this days after talking with Mamading Ceesay, where he describes how Wikipedia’s Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) policy can be equated with VOE - View Of Empire.
More to come.
Fly the flag in the face of clowns
I may be a week late, but there isn’t much to say about the Haymarket bomb, apart from the fact that it never would have exploded. A car was blown up outside my friend’s flat the same morning.
Haymarket isn’t becoming like Baghdad - it’s becoming like Waltham Forest.
