Tristan Nitot has the map of Firefox adoption. Britain is at 15.8%. Yeah, that sucks. Britain really isn't ready for, err, innovation, security and extensibility. We far prefer to have shitty software so that we can complain about it when it doesn't work. That said, I'd like to see this map with personal and business percentages added. Internet Explorer seems to be mostly a business problem rather than a home user problem where switching costs are lower. The Firefox folks should send me a big stash of Firefox CDs and I'll be happy to distribute them to people. 2006-12-08T12:27:49ZUntitled entry permalink

There's an interesting discussion over at Shawn Anthony's place about liberal Christianity - specifically, it's utter inanity. 2006-12-08T10:19:23ZUntitled entry permalink

James Randi has some real cranky stuff this week - a woman who sells bottled water with "sound essences", bad martial arts, James Van Praagh communicating with the spirit of Marilyn Monroe through her hair curlers, Scientologists and the London coppers, and the Catholic Church has declared St. Isidore of Seville as the patron saint of the Internet. 2006-12-08T10:03:16ZUntitled entry permalink

Yesterday, the BBC uncovered a Metropolitan Police report which states the bleeding obvious: knife amnesties don't work. 2006-12-08T09:48:50ZUntitled 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 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.
