i’d like to generalise it down to: “here’s how we say something without really explaining anything”
bah.
i’m tossing my shemagh, frakking ColinFarrel.
I’ve had a Shemagh in one form or another since highschool, they make for a warm winter here in Sweden as opposed to sub-arctic cold. and now. it’s become trendy since reactionary is cooler than conservative.
Thanks Hollywood, promote more idiots if you would, please, can’t wait for the next Paris Hilton movie. yeah, right. Seriously.
so net-gain of having social democrats in power in sweden? higher taxes (across the board) youth crime at an all time high, massive gang related crime, Even worse healthcare, budget deficit and citizen political participation at an all time low — youth parties show a 90% decline in membership over a ten year period.
ok. so. yuck. but I need to get this off my chest.
pro-choice is a good thing, abortion is each and everyones private fragging decision. it’s not something we should, or need to make into a political talking point, because, gosh dolly, we have enough of those (base income tax, union taxes, salary raises etc) anyway.
Quick note:
Programmers need to learn more about communication in relation to interaction designers.
Interaction Designers need to grow a pair of brass balls to be able to communicate with said asbestos spouting programmers.
and back to writing longer piece.
Today has been a flurry of events, following up on all the posts about the Kathy situation and trying to understand the triggers that caused it.
Jonas has been my pillar and reason about the whole situation.
The reason i’m worked up about this isn’t because of one isolated case. not at all. it’s because when I posted it, some of my female friends told me that it happens to them as well.
So as much as i’d like for it to be an isolated case, that we men, don’t prey on the opposite gender it’s one of those drops of idealism that dried up in the sun.
Wikipedia, has been in turmoil, more than once over the seriousness of their project. recently they decided to delete the biography of Rob Levin founder and former project leader of PDPC and Open Projects aka. freenode. an internet relay chat communications network, used by a massive amount of open source projects.
This is because of him not being notable enough, which to me, is unreal. the man built and offered up a communications infrastructure for the betterment of the open source movement, this is a big milestone, it helped people to communicate, it also helped the various projects to pool their efforts.
it’s been said he’s not notable enough, but is really the latest internet meme notable enough? by what criteria should we judge people. by what they’ve done? by who they know? or by what they’ve done for others?
Rob did something, that no-one else did, prior to the freenode project. obviously a lot of people feel that they could’ve done it just as easily, this where i grew up, is called “hyperbole” either you deliver or just shut up.
freenode isnt just yet another irc network, freenode is an institution, and one that Rob Levin, was instrumental in forming.
i’d say that this could be seen as a failiure of Wikipedia, to prove it’s worthyness to knowledge.
