The Week

"Obviously my intention is to expose you. Enjoying your work though"
Robert Loch

I write from Hyde Park where, having now posted my work for today, I can relax after a very amusing week.

A few interesting tech things happened.

• Yahoo is taking its DRM servers off line. So anyone with Yahoo music is basically stuffed. Hard luck suckas!


• Twitter got hacked (allegedly). Anyone who was logged on at the time lost their followers. It's likely you also contracted a few viruses - run your anti-virus!


• Actually a few million sites got hacked, as did a few Oyster cards!


• Savvy Chavvy won a Catalyst award. Not sure how the recipient collected the award with a chicken drumstick in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other.


• A businessman managed to sue his old mate for putting up a fake Facebook profile. Boy could I be in trouble!


• ...And finally Google pulled out of the Digg acquisition.

The latter deservingly wins today's haiku dedication as follows:

Digg's big deal goes west
No Google acquisition
Boardroom tears for sure

I've recently been busy messing around with the London web community and have lots more messing planned. Very much enjoyed a game of Botticelli over email with Detective Inspector Loch last night. I was even tempted to include him in my conspiracy but then I might as have well given him a loudspeaker with my name blaring out of it.

Enough for now and remember George is watching you. Spread the word!

Back to my sunbathing.
