[Ref 1 Ref 2] Something was pointed out to me since I posted this morning on the subject that I think is deeply ironic. Apparently, the SynCE framework works incredibly well, allowing Windows Mobile smart phones to be synchronised with Evolution – and other desktop applications. So, if running Windows isn’t a problem for you, …

The “best” smartphone for Linux users
[Ref] I set the challenge: What is the best smart phone for Linux users? and annoyingly, the answer seems to be: NONE To sum up more fully.

Vetting and Barring Scheme
The UK Government now wants to register anyone who will regularly give lifts to children connected with clubs etc. It seems that the government, having realised they cannot con us into agreeing to them monitoring our every move and all aspects of our lives by scaring us over terrorism have moved onto telling us that …

Time to end UK Control Orders (2)
Just to clarify my last post – I’m not suggesting that the verdict returned in the trial yesterday was right. It may well be that those three were guilty but I’ve not been able to investigate it deeply enough to form an opinion. My natural instinct with the current government of course is to be …

Time to end UK Control Orders
Yesterday, the government released a man held under a Control Order rather than publish the evidence against him (in order that he might defend himself in court). This demonstrates that Control Orders have been concocted purely as a way for the government to inter people they don’t like in a manner that in a democratic …
