You don't know what you've got till it's gone, and that includes civil liberties.

The recent pitiful release of Home Office yoof shilling site My Life My Id came to few people's attention---why should it, being a pointless exercise in "consultation"?---but those who did spot it were mostly No2ID aficionados.

No holds BarCamp

BarCamp Apache Oxford was the win, essentially. Oh, and I feel dreadful.

Today I had a whale of a time at BarCamp Apache Oxford. The social event last night—coffee, beer, curry and then more beer—meant that the majority of BarCampers got to know each other really well before the event. As Ross said early on today, it was clear from the mix of people last night that things were going to go fine, with everyone being very accommodating of each other's talks.

I managed to acquire a hangover despite leaving early last night.
