I had the idea for The-Elected.com in 1999, it would be a directory of the world's democratically elected politicians. I worked on it, and it came to fruition, but never really became popular. Then along came Wikipedia, and even though the information in The-Elected was marked up in XML …

When we watch a DVD at my house, it's not unusual for someone to walk out. This time it was Sarita that left. To be fair, she had seen it before and didn't like it the first time.

I felt that the sub-plot of Melanie Daniels arriving and her relationship …

I'm not a fan of short stories. I want a proper story; short story - short changed. With Daphne du Maurier's The Birds, I loved the story but it ended too soon. I couldn't believe it had ended. Can some talented writer finish it off please?

Own-Id used to create it's own Yadis document for each domain. I realized this was ridiculous, and so now I've changed things so that the Yadis document is the one from the provider. All this should mean fewer glitches. Please let me know of any web site / provider combination that …

Just released a new version that fixes some bugs:

• Now deals with fully qualified domain names

I've heard some say, 'Yes, we need to charge …

When I walked into Tesco's the other day, I felt slightly paranoid. JG Ballard's Kingdom Come will have the same effect on you too. The feeling was reinforced by the message on Tesco's loyalty envelope, 'Because without you, it's all pointless'. Okay, it's a pun, but it I'm sure Ballard …

Went to see the sleep specialist this morning. It seems I may have a mild case of sleep disordered breathing. I'm going to try an APAP machine to see if that does the trick.

We started off with a nice clean cosmological model, and since then it's had to be patched up with dark matter, dark energy and inflation. I think we're due for a new theory in cosmology, akin to Kepler's theory of eliptical orbits that replaced the previous cumbersome theory of circular …
