04/04/2005 06:24 AMCory Doctorow:
The Open Knowledge Forums are a series of lectures and panel
discussions about the ways that "open knowledge" can benefit the
public interest. The next one is a week away, in London, and it's
about a plan to produce a set of public domain maps of London
(London's maps were produced at tax-payer expense, but can't be freely
used; rather, you have to pay the ordinance survey thousands of pounds
for the privilege; by contrast, US government maps are free and
plentiful, and form the basis for thousands and thousand of competing
mapping efforts, from Michelin guides to Google Maps).
There are a number of interesting proposals for this, including
deploying an army of GPS-wielding geohackers, and buying up Russian
satellite photos of London. Check out this squib from last January's NTK:
London's geowanking
fraternity have come up with an intriguing proposition. With a
grand's worth of Russian 1-meter resolution satellite pics,
they believe they can stitch together an entirely free,
redistributable vector database of the capital, freed from
the shackles of the Ordnance Survey's restrictive copyrights,
and thus open to all manner of GPL-style repurposing.
Here are the details:
* When: Thurs April 14th 2005, 7-9pm
* Where: Stanhope Centre, Marble Arch, London. [WWW]Directions
* Who can attend: public. Registration is optional but useful so
please notify us if you can via okforums-info@okfn.org.
* Speakers: Steve Coast of openstreetmap.org; Roger Longhorn (geodata
policy expert); Giles Lane of urbantapestries.net; Jo Walsh of

now
officially in Iraq. This is classic Al Qaeda:
Gua
rdian. The attack started at 7pm when a car bomb rammed
one corner of the complex, followed by rocket-propelled grenades,
mortars and small-arms fire. It appeared to be a feint because when
guards scrambled to respond a second car bomb blew up at an opposite
corner, again followed by a hail of bullets and bombs.
Let's hope that they don't attempt an assault like this on major
infrastructure. The damage to high value equipment (special high
capacity turbines and pumps) would be catastrophic.

to take it lying down. Other places to look are
Michael Geist’s site and the
Canadian Internet Policy and Public
Interest Clinic, which he founded. Canadians, please take note and

get some leverage.

Who are you calling stinking?
08/21/2004 01:48 AMThe offline reader in the house ran across a mention of a cheese in
the latest New Yorker and asked me to Google it. The first result,
from The Teddington Cheese Online, British and continental
cheesemongers: Stinking Bishop is said to be derived from a cheese
once made by Cistercian monks in the village of Dymock. Monks have
always been associated with the production of 'washed rind' cheeses.
These are cheeses which are washed in a variety of liquids. They are
generally full-flavoured with lively aromas. Stinking Bishop is no
exception and uses perry as its wash. It has a sticky yellow-orange
rind and smells of old socks. The paste is soft and creamy, the
flavour is delicious and, although full and distinctive, it is not
quite as pungent as the odour may imply! At certain times of year the
paste becomes firmer and slightly crumbly. The cheese is similar to
the famous French Epoisses which has been banned from the public
transport system in Paris. In fact, at a recent cheese show in France
they were amazed to discover that Stinking Bishop was made in England.
The cheese takes its name from the variety of pear used to make the
washing solution. Stinking Bishop pears are one of over 100 varieties
which are grown on the Gloucestershire-Herefordshire border. While
this was never part of the family lore, Stinking Bishop was
Teddington's Best New Cheese in 2003. If you are interesting in trying
some, a 2 kilo cheese will run you about 42 pounds, plus shipping.
Somehow, having one's name associated with a cheese with the aroma of
old socks similar to a cheese that has been banned from the Paris
Metro seems appropriate for someone who had to be dissuaded from
naming his first-born child after his favorite cheese of the time,
Cotswold, and whose favorite store is the Cheeseboard....

Calling The Help Desk Is Popular
07/29/2004 01:23 PM
How often do you call the corporate IT help desk? According to a new
study from Siemens Business Services (they want your outsourced IT
support business, so there's a bit of a bias) employees spend a ridiculous amount
of time asking for help each week -- and it's not always for
work-related technology problems. Over one-quarter of users
apparently called their corporate IT help desk to get help with
personal technology problems. Meanwhile, five percent of white collar
workers claim to spend five hours a week chatting with tech
support, and 36% say they spend about 30 minutes a week with tech
support. Seems like an awful lot of problems to fix, though, you have
to wonder how much of that time tech support is spending trying to fix
people's personal tech problems.
