Dreamwidth invites...

I have one (1) shiny new invite code for Dreamwidth. I would like to give it to somebody who is intending to migrate to Dreamwidth, or otherwise use their journal there, not to somebody who just wants to bagsie their desired username and then not use the service for now. Anybody want it on those terms?

Gone. Sold to the man with the odd collection of circuit boards and disembowelled mobile phones ;)

The open privacy problem

I just posted an article on Police State UK called The open privacy problem. It's partly a review of the Cory Doctorow / Charles Stross talk I went to on Friday, and partly a general ramble on the conflict between the kind of data-sharing we voluntarily and happily commit on social networking sites, and the expectations of reasonable privacy that we all have - sometimes regarding the exact same data, just in a different context.

Not Cool.
