Is it really a URL?
I thought it might be a nice idea to go over what the different identifiers on the web were. Tim Berners-Lee recently showed some exasperation at us all calling everything “URL”. With the the Semantic Web gaining momentum, it’s even more important to start calling things by their [...]

Internet censorship?
As you know I’m in Australia and am reading about the uptake of site censorship by Optus. This sets a scary precedent, no? This is a topic that has been close to my heart for many years. I wrote an essay all about censorship in China during my Masters which was in…2002 (wow! has it [...][...]
