WikiNews reporting on the London Blast
WikiNews, the open source news reporting site, has been reporting on the London Blast from 30 minutes after the first blast. The original 4 line article was published 7th July 08:24 (time is UTC/GMT, so -1 hour on BST), and updates then occur at 08:34, 08:36, 08:38, 08:41, … and on until the most current and comprehensive update (as I write) on 9th July 14:58 (which corrects information about casualties, see the differences between this and the previous version).
For me, what’s amazing is how the story was updated every few minutes for hours on Thursday, with many contributors adding details, quotes, hot lines and other information. I don’t know if the BBC reporting was as fast as WikiNews’, but it didn’t feel like it was being updated all that speedily. It’ll be interesting to see how WikiNews evolves as a news medium ‘by the people, for the people’.

KittenWar
Go vote for your favourite kitty. You get a choice of two kittens, pick one and his ranking goes up. The other, goes down. Iraiza-the-cute is the current winner, whilst this poor ugly wretch is somewhere near the bottom.
European Patent Threat Squashed
The European Parliament on Wednesday rejected a proposed law to create a single way of patenting software across the European Union, a blow to big companies who had pushed hard for its adoption.
Woohoo! Quote from here, original link here. And we won the 2012 Olympic bid. We rock!
Mobile Rant
Don’t ever buy a Motorola V600. Or a Motorola anything. This is undisputedly the worst mobile I have owned. Every two months it forgets that I’ve asked it not to sing whenever I touch the keyboard, and two months is just long enough for me to forget how to silence the darned thing. Nokia – I’m sorry, I shall never desert thee again.
Two months to the free upgrade. I’m counting the days.
