Jul 5, 2008: OpenTech 2008 at Central London

Open Tech 2008 is an informal, low cost one-day conference on technology, society and low-carbon living, featuring Open Source ways of working and technologies that anyone can have a go at."

Taking place on 5th July, 2008, in London, the line-up currently features:

* mySociety
* No2ID
* Open Rights Group
* plus whatever you offer for a session

This event's predecessor, was Opentech 2005 - a low cost, one-day conference about technologies that anyone can have a go at, from "Open Source"-style ways of working to repurposing everyday electronics hardware. Before that was NotCon 2004, an informal, low-cost, one-day conference on things that technologies were perhaps not intended to do.

***** You can register for this event on Upcoming but this is just a convenience so it will be in your upcoming calendar and you'll get reminded about it.
IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU ENTRY TO THE EVENT
You'll be able to pre-register for the event nearer the time on the event's website. We'll let you know (via Upcoming) when this is available. ****

Fritz With His Prey

Dave Cross posted a photo:

I should point out that it wasn't him who finally killed the rat. Oh no. I had to do it. With a spade.

Please let me know if you use it for a lolcat.

Don 't let his that cute pose fool you for a second. Twenty minutes later he calmly brought a rat indoors and was chasing it round the kitchen.

Please let me know if you use i for a lolcat.

CPANTS Success

It's taken a bit longer than I hoped, but I have finally beaten the CPANTS game. From about an hour ago all of my CPAN modules score 100% and I'm therefore (along with a number of other people) top of the CPANTS league.

Of course, they'll probably introduce some new measures soon and I'll have to start all over again.

Now, given my awesome CPANTS score, who wants to come on one of my Perl courses?

AC Grayling: Faith organisations shouldn't run our schools | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

"If the government were handing schools and money to astrologers, witch doctors, Scientologists, the Manson cult, and the like, to educate our children, we would be concerned, would we not?" Good stuff from AC Grayling.
