Wikipedia meet yesterday. Lotsa pics on [livejournal.com profile] arkady's camera. We got a lot achieved towards taking over the world, and a UK Wikimedia charity looks certain. Good to meet [livejournal.com profile] lithiana at last. And [livejournal.com profile] jdforrester has been Borged, muwahaha.

I heard Richard Stallman's rider detailed. Oh boy. He specifies everything down to relative humidity.

(As someone I won't name put it: "Open source is better than free software because libertarians wash.")

I wish I could remember where I read "Libertarianism is like goth for adults".

What's up with the what_the_hack entry?

Now, I could save much time and trouble by just following the link on the page, but something called 'special_undelete' fills me with caution; I want to see what the problem is before sticking my oar in, and I'm not au fait enough with wikimalarkey to perform that action via the front door. As it were.


It were a Septic weblog, so yes. G*th for them lot.

Hm. Try that. (I actually can't explain it well w/o going into arm-waving evangelism and ending with an idiot grin. You Had To Be There.)

It's got me thinking about the differences between hacker-camps (HEU/HIP/HAL/WTH/CCC et al), conferences (Defcon/Blackhat), blogger-camps (foo-, bar-, emerging tech(?)) and, um, other things. (There was an event that a couple of the CCC chaps were off to after WTH. It looked dead interesting.

Hm. I forsee a proper post about this.

What sorts of things were on his rider? A bowl of M&Ms with the red ones taken out or some equivalent thereof?

It's a quick easy way to see that They are paying attention to details.

You missed the very drunken attempt at the pub quiz. The three still standing came a clear bottom. Hurrah!

I think we agreed a meeting on it - I can't remember who was invited (apart from me, you and VampWillow) but I think you said you'd organise it ;)

Are Arkady's photos up yet?

Not yet. I will probably get around to it soon though. I shall likely just whack them up somewhere for the rest of you to caption. ;-)
