- The Toolbox: a directory of useful single-page sites and apps
Really useful set of stuff. Wonder how fast I could roll my own wordpress layout with these tools.

Easy to install wifi for well, everything. If this takes off, things (no, literally, things, physical-object-things are going to get interesting. The only thing I object to is the same thing I do with all cloud services – that the devices talk to the company's servers, rather than a system in the home, thereby making the company a single point-of-failure for its own technology. You would not buy a wristwatch that stopped working if Casio went bust, why sould any other technology be different.

This has become a reasonably hot issue in the last week or so, as I hope my post earlier made clear. If you're a Mac user, there's some stuff in here that'll help…

Should probably run this at home – I just had a quick check on my work machine, and discovered I could free up 4GB of space, and I suspect that number will be higher at home…

Really interesting article on African SF writing – why there hasn't been much of it historically, and why it's something to really look forward to.

My god, this is just superb. Work of total genius. Combination of the ubiquity of the digital age with the sense of magic and wonder. Utterly brilliant. I want to give these to everyone.
- Pub 'fined £8k' for Wi-Fi copyright infringement – ZDNet.co.uk
Oh, look, you all know what I'm going to say by now. I'll just restate this: free/cheap public connectivity is far more important to Britain's future prosperity than the existing business models of the content industry are, and cases like this endanger that connectivity. I would like it very much if we stopped fighting the future because of a short term threat to the wallets of some rich people, and got on with embracing it so that we can have all new rich people.

Then number of times I've written, re-written, googled for, and generally had to implement one of these is verging on the insane. This one looks good, so I am noting it so I can come back and find it whenever this comes up again.

- Illegal movie download forces shutdown of free Wi-Fi | coshoctontribune.com | Coshocton Tribune
MPAA shitweasels decide that they're jsutified in fucking over an entire town's municipal internet facilities in revenge for a single download. This should not be legal. This is what the RIAA, the BPI and any other organisation that is still fighting for the now-outmoded implementation of copyright that we currently have wants the ability to do with three strikes laws, and DCMA notices and all the other apparatus of enforcement that they are accreting to themselves by lobbying – to place the risk to their profits over the common good.

Can’t do this at the moment, since I’m not using one of these routers, but in the event that I need to replace mine at some point, it might be worth bearing in mind.
