2005

It's 31st December, so I guess it's time for that first sentence per month meme thang. I've skipped memes if they came first. March was tricky: first post was an image link to Lawrence Lessig's original WIPO "balance" image post, the second was a flocked post of my command of the day (lsof|awk '/lib(z[^a-zA-Z]|ssl)/ { print $1 ": " $3 " - " $9 }'|sort -u; if you're curious), so you got the third.

1. I don't (yet) know if the rumour that Brad is going to sell LJ to Six Apart has any truth behind it, but all I can say to danah boyd's posting on the issue is Word.


2. Pepper has just hopped through the study fanlight and so to under ramtops' desk with a small (and as yet unidentified) rodent in her mouth, garnished tastefully with a leaf.


3. Jonathon Rowe on closed-source consumables


4. OK, the old scrote is dying, and I guess a fair number of people across the world actually care.


5. Actually ripped some vinyl yesterday, for the first time in months.


6. We're just back from Wychwood Festival.


7. Sometimes, when re-reading a book, a passage leaps out and grabs you by the metaphorical throat in a way that, other than by some nightmare precognition, it couldn't have first time round.


8. If yr in the UK, it's time to go ticky at pledgebank, or the cute kittie will get itme.


9. OK... The last 24 photos from Team Waste Summer Camp I'm bothering to upload are there on flickr now.


10. ramtops and I just had a... well, row would be a gross overstatement: a failure of communication, caused by a peculiarity in my mechanisms of perception.


11. It's ramtops' birthday today - my best friend, business partner, fellow catslave and wife.


12. We went out shopping (being as we were all vegged out) late morning, and had brunch with Saturday's Grauniad at Cafe Ceiturica in Southville, a bit of Bristol that gets more gentrified by the day.

May 2006 be better than 2005 - far too many people I know had a vile year. Take care and be well, all who read this.
