Amy Goodman is on Jon Stewart's podcast this week, and it's well worth a listen.

My first TV interview about Match Group was on her show, and it was a live one, just a few hours after the Guardian article came out. If nothing else, it taught me not to do any live interviews again! Still, it was an interesting experience.

Note how well I curate my background with neat bookshelves, showing a load of boring books that I think reflect my personality.

I usually avoid sharing fundraisers like the plague, but people in #NovaScotia might be interested in this one - especially if they were impacted by the #Wildfires last year.

The young folks at the Lawrencetown Education Centre (LEC) are doing a fantastic job, building houses to donate to people who lost everything in the fires (with the backing of #Rotary and some government education funding) and getting trades experience and credentials at the same time. It's a good project, but they explain it better than I can!

A late birthday present. Next time I need to get online on my Apple IIe, I will be well sorted!

Since I am on an accidental #nostalgia (naustalgia?) trip in trying to find old #MUD things, this one popped up on my Facebook feed which may amuse the #RetroComputing #VAX #VMS and #History of the #Internet folks.

This was UKNet's office in about 1994-1995

I think there are some #SUN and #SGI machines in there too, there definitely were somewhere.

This is still my favourite personal hackery/security story, and the only one I have ever written about where I am on the naughty-side of the desk.

Different times!

Since the demise of #Radioarchive and the other #Cheops sites, is there anywhere to get some of that old #BBC #Radio4 stuff?

It's kind of ironic that the BBC calls out to people who have preserved their stuff in the past to fill in programme gaps for stuff that they then sell, and yet do their damndest to stop archivists preserving things that have now ended up lost again.

Ever since I lost my old iPod with the 48 hour version of "This Sceptred Isle" on it, I have been trying to find it again. There are plenty of torrents with 0 seeds and no "last seen" info, and I think even the abridged one is gone from Archive.org so unless someone has copies, it's just on its way to becoming yet another lost show, that I partly paid for.

Grrr.
