OK, Unity of Talk Politics has already registered a domain, so part 2 is in progress, completely independently. Link to follow, naturally, when there’s something to link to. He’s also said he’ll post more on the subject over the weekend on his blog, so watch that space as well. Initially, I was put off the name by connotations in modern politics, but then Nosemonkey reminded us all of the title of J.S. Mill’s seminal work, On Liberty. (more…)

Aside, DK got me back playing NationStates.Net, where I’m having fun building my own left-wing utopia. I avoid the forums from the last time I played, but the game itself is silly and not too time consuming, a few clicks per day.

Oh, the book is great as well, near the top of my recommended reading list. If anyone else joins, click ‘leave the region’ and then come find us in blogtopia.

Yes, I am off work today, had a dentists appointment so took a days leave, am sat at the computer reading blogs and slowly downing a bottle of Bell’s finest Scotch…

Just looked at the stats for the day; two of our busiest days yet, this is good. Anyway, one thing impressed me. There’s a campaign ongoing to get website authors, etc to acknowledge that there are browsers that aren’t installed by Microsoft. There are even sites that celebrate people that manage to get above 50% of their readers using non-IE browsers. Well, since I’ve been counting, there has only been one day where IE has hit 50%+, that was when the blonde joke got linked to by someone on a fan forum for The Libertines (I mean, of all bands? I felt dirty)…

I am proud of you all…
