  • Speaker: Copyright Must Change,

    I have noticed that the prolixity of the response is inversely proportional to the amount of information.

    Every little bit helps :-)

    And?

  • Hard News: After the Charter,

    I only watched half of it, sorry. Coleman was pissing me off enough - it's one thing to front but to have nothing to say when you do is futile. But when you put his vacuousness in the same room as Edwards' ego - too much for me, I'm afraid.

    I'm trying to find a way to sleep through to 2011...

  • Hard News: Siren song,

    Yes, it is back. I think it was a system malfunction at their ISP although why that would take out a miror site, I can't think.

    <geek>I get 18 hops through to 88.80.5.3 (ge0.tr0.sth3.prqinet.net) which is 1 hop inside their ISP's network. There's a disconnect between that and 88.80.13.160 (which now carries a DNS name of mail.wikileaks.org so maybe they had to do a quick reconfigure last night) but that could be part of the security around Wikileaks.</geek>

    I'm sure it will all be explained on Slashdot, with the accompanying sound of black helicopters ;-)

  • Hard News: Siren song,

    Hmmm. I'm wondering if someone is running a pretty solid attack on Wikileaks, actually. It's not just their DNS that's not working, but also the IP address is returning a blank page (though it is showing the favicon), the cover URLs are also timing out and the german and Belgian mirrors are off-line, and the Swiss one has one of those generic "this domain could be yours" pages.

    Eyes will watch...

    That's the one!!!

    Awful lip-syncing, why did they bother? But Riddell looks like he's having fun ;-)
    I think the song stands up pretty well.

    Riddell is still making music.

    Yeah, I think he did a show in the sound shell in Welly's Botanic Gardens a couple of years ago, during Summer City.

    Whatever it is, it's not the Australians. I'm getting a traceroute as far as prqinet.net in Sweden which is their ISP, so it's something within that system that's broken.

    Presention, definitely, but the music was cool too - I bought the album eventually. As a pre-MTV thing, it was like nothing I'd seen on the NZBC, let alone produced by them as well.

    Of course, those were the days when a bra-less presenter was front page news...
