Inevitable

But nonetheless annoying. Serves me right for leaving everything too late. As usual.

Three days to go...

And the Rough Sleepers' shelter is beginning to take shape, but there's a hell of a lot to finish. How does this work again? Because it works out every time...

Brrr? Feckin' gaaah!

London is, obviously, not built for these conditions. Even the weather's given the meteorological middle finger to the Copen(nohopen)hagen talks.

Death of a [part of a] newspaper

It is with great sadness that we witness the death today of The Guardian's Technology section. As a lifelong liberal (or is that libertarian?) this newspaper and its columnists have become friends, occasionally foes and often leaders in my understanding of the world and what I'm doing in it.

I've learnt countless IT tidbits from the inimicable Jack Schofield (once a helpful respondent on a survey I oversaw) and been kept abreast of trends that would otherwise pass me by in each week's supplement. In fact it was the key reason to buy the paper on a Thursday, and I'd turn to it before news or sport. Geek. So these very last words almost brought a tear to my eye:

"Paper, though delightful, is expensive to make. Shifting electrons around on a screen is far cheaper. Thank you for reading for so long – right to the conclusion. We've enjoyed it."

Sure, the internet will replace much of this information but there's still nothing that matches a newspaper for opening unexpected avenues. An online world in an offline publication? Crazy, I know, but I liked it. (It'll remain on the Guardian's website but that just won't be the same. Now, where's my eReader?)
