A Big Awful Mess

Catching up on bits and pieces - the current state of the UK for protestors, good bye civil liberties. Looking at the Biz applications of Wiki's and the fundamental approach of the grass root network. The Kamaelia project aims at building large scale online media delivery systems for the long term. Nice article on that really serious commerce issue of web site conversion. The latest from Boxes & Arrows on Lost in Translation: IA Challenges in Distributing Digital Audio. A nice article on converting from dot Net to Mono. A couple of nice ones from java.net including one on closure, patching, Apache's new Axis model and JMS with JavaSpaces.

On the personal side of stuff, PhD funding is still up in the air due to the situation here but at least its better than some of the other local issues.
