Kent Newsome is dimissive of the Joost experience. I pretty much agree, although I have not actually used Joost - it doesn't work on my DSL connection - I'm behind a 'proxy' (yah, the Internet), but the Joost website is so poorly designed as to not tell me what steps I need to go down in order to unfree myself from the proxy. I gave up. Everyone keeps telling me that the reason why services like Joost are necessary are so that my mum's generation can do Internet TV. BitTorrent is a lot more user friendly, though. Go to website. Click link. Wait a fairly long time. Watch. Save to DVD-R and be able to watch forever more. 2007-06-09T19:57:24Z

Even seeing this picture makes me feel wooozy. 2007-06-09T19:55:40Z

Congratulations, Aral for the .net magazine coverage. Next time I'm near a London train station, I'll grab a copy.

Currently in: Kent, England

Usually in: East Sussex, England

I am a vegetarian, an atheist, like to code in Ruby and Scala (and Java, but let’s not talk about that), and noodle about with microformats and the Semantic Web.

I have an MA in philosophy from Heythrop College, University of London. My philosophical interests are in analytic metaphysics, ontology, modality, the work of Armstrong, Lewis, Kripke, Russell and Plato. I have a strange, unfulfilled interest in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. I’ve been influenced by Gadamer, by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rawls and Nozick.

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. I occasionally produce audio recordings for The Pod Delusion.
