My buddy/colleague Joe has just set up his home on the net at woolamaloo.org.uk.
His mission?
“to take sideswipes at stories from the media, to lampoon those who deserve it and to satirise current events, all while also hopefully making people think at the same time”.
I’m also expecting blog entries coming from Joe’s uniquely skewed perspective on life.
The stinky might of the DMCA seems to have fallen on bit torrent. A couple of the big sites have dropped off the radar amid rumours that a major US cable company had contacted one of them. Oh well, another one bites the dust. Although I have a feeling that bit torrent may bit a bit more resilient than some of the other p2p networks…
I’m just kerazy today!
