Livejournal Rebellion, Galbraith, Geoff, Public Transport

I have considered working with a small band of others to establish an alternative to livejournal given their recent introduction of ads (soon it will be like yahoo, just you see). Much more planning is needed at this nascent stage. I would be thinking in terms of fixed-fee, lifetime membership.

Working and studying life has consisted of fixing broken servers, working on Access databases, and designing styles for PHPWebsite and Mac OS X training. Tonight I start CCNA Semester Three (Switches) after a six month break. I can barely remember Cisco IOS commands. I'm sure it'll come back to me, but I still feel a bit nervous at the moment.

JK Galbraith has died. An economist (and historian, and sociologist) who actually cared what happened to people. He even managed to make economics interesting. I am fortunate to own (and have read most of) several of his books, including his one work of fiction, The Triumph.

geoff, finally gets recognised as the inventor of wireless internet.

Edit I suppose I should mention that I gave the service at the Unitarian's last Sunday with Dr. Paul Mees from the Public Transport Users Association giving an excellent presentation on "putting the public back into public transport". Mees is an exceptionally good speaker, having the facts and figures on the tip of his tongue - and a dash of humour as well, referring to me as "Rev. Lev". It is particularly foolish how much the private providers are leaching off the government (about twice what the old PTC used to cost).
