ladyproblems.com – yeah, i know, sadly no website to be found at this adress. the only point of criticism i would have regarding the great comedy show the it crowd.

a bit of bittorrent bother – Adam Livingstone responds to “the torrent of abuse streamed our way over our piece on Friday 24 February about BitTorrent and encryption”. i quite like this part: ” Why is it that every time the media starts to talk about the internet they feel compelled to bang on about paedophiles and terrorists […]?

Another answer is that we’re totally scared of new media, because new media is railways and we’re canals, and you all just know how that’s going to end.” honest.
