I'm in deep Hermione Granger mode at the moment. No, I haven't been given a place at Hogwarts (as if they'd accept a twenty year old philosophy student). No, I've managed to get hold of all my books for next year's Kierkegaard course: Philosophical Fragments, Concluding Unscientific Postscript, Upbuilding Discourses In Various Spirits, Fear and Trembling, The Sickness Unto Death, selected Journals, some secondary literature and the volume II material from Concluding Unscientific Postscript. I managed to read Fear and Trembling while on holiday, and I am ready to jump in to the rest of this stuff. 2005-08-01T19:27:51ZUntitled entry permalink

The electricity has been off for most of the day today. Six am till about five pm. Got lots of book readin' done, and even started writing some fairly interesting stuff on paper. 2005-08-01T18:06:57ZUntitled entry permalink

Want to know why I'm a libertarian and not a conservative? Simple. The war on drugs. Smokedot: "Twenty-nine-year-old Scott Bryant had just settled down to watch TV with his 7-year-old son on the night of April 17, 1995, when 13 Wisconsin sheriff¹s deputies burst through his front door looking for marijuana. Bryant, who was unarmed, was shot and killed as his young son helplessly looked on. Police seized less than 3 grams of marijuana in the no-knock raid." Three grams! $35 billion federal tax dollars and shooting this completely harmless guy for three grams of pot. When will you Americans vote these stupid fuckers out? 2005-08-01T00:43:45ZUntitled entry permalink

Hmm. Can't assign categories in OPML Editor (Mac). 2005-08-01T00:37:03ZUntitled entry permalink

Really nice to be back in my own bed after four days in a tent and three hotels. My room is bigger than the tent I was living in. I really enjoyed What The Hack, and, of course, it wouldn't work in a hotel or conference centre or whatever. But it's nice to be out of that tent. 2005-08-01T00:35:17ZUntitled entry permalink

I'm posting from my iBook. And using Synergy, this won't interrupt my workflow at all. 2005-08-01T00:07:25ZUntitled entry permalink

Just got back from What The Hack. Now back at my desk. And Winer's OPML editor has just been released for Macintosh. No more having to boot in to Windows to use OPML Editor. 2005-07-31T23:07:28ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am in preparation for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.
