I’m watching the wikileaks Twitter account with great interest right now. As I type this, there is a steady stream of accusations aimed at the Guardian newspaper streaming up my screen. One of the things which has been linked to is this. It is Arus Bridger confirming the terms of receipt of ‘package 3’, agreeingRead… Read more »
I can always go back to pushing bits of paper. And every time I do not believe I can make a difference I will watch this. And if that doesn’t work, I will come back to this post, this post that says these things we do and some things I have affected and some thingsRead… Read more »

I’ve just read a crowdsourced spec of future chiefs over on LGC. Do you know what I thought as I read down the list? I think I might know at the very very very least one of the people who will, in future, be a chief. And I know many more who don’t think theyRead… Read more »
