Okay, launchtime: FreethoughtFilter. It's digg for atheism! 2006-03-08T21:29:14ZUntitled entry permalink

You won't believe this folks, but I'm using my top-of-the-range MacBook Pro to play Sonic 3. And I suck at it. Actually, not too much. 2006-03-08T22:08:23ZUntitled entry permalink

An old site I used a lot, emulation.net, still exists. Nice. Might be able to play some of my old (legally-owned) games on my Mac. 2006-03-08T21:55:53ZUntitled entry permalink

This is the best story you'll read for a while. Seriously. We need to teach kids to be addicted to the Internet. More on that soon. 2006-03-08T18:46:34ZUntitled entry permalink

I heard, thank you, Dr. Fran! And thanks, Madge for the mention. Love your show. 2006-03-08T14:46:52ZUntitled entry permalink

Damn, my host is being an arse. It'll be worth the wait, folks. I'm just preloading it with data. 2006-03-08T12:54:02ZUntitled entry permalink

The site has launched in super-private beta. That means I'm using it and haven't told anyone about it yet. See how annoying this is? Smile and a wink 2006-03-08T10:25:53ZUntitled entry permalink

Okay, a few more rules of the game: the site is in LAMP (not Rails), it will use Ajax, it will have a light blue colour scheme, it services a community (or "vertical market", if you're being 1.0) of which I am a quite active member, will have RSS feed(s), user registration and possibly something to do with OPML, although I haven't quite thought that bit through yet. It is a one man band in design, but not necessarily in other ways. Think about that, and you will probably understand what I am doing. 2006-03-08T00:15:10ZUntitled entry permalink

In the spirit of Web 2.0ish secrecy, I'm going to be releasing a new application very soon. I'd give you all a teaser, but I can't think up something distinctly short and Valleywagish to put on it. And I'd give you all invite codes, but I think the whole invite codes thing is fucking stupid and against the ideas which underpin Web 2.0 - that of openness and transparency - by turning it into a cliquey, nepotistic game of "hunt the invite" which bores the living fuck out of me. Anyway, once the server is up, you'll hear about it first here, or probably on a mailing list. Those on the mailing list will know who they are.

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 studying 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.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
