I’ve nothing much to add to this story - The UK government’s plans to retain email data and rate online content will cost too much, destroy business, liberty and must be stopped – start making placards – except my support for any peaceful demonstrations that get planned. Just posting it here in case even one additional person finds out about the plans. More also from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7819230.stm. Off to think of a whitty slogan for my placard.

I got a bit bored of the limited functionality of my old blog at http://my.opera.com/tomheath/blog/ — that platform just wasn’t keeping pace with the state of the art in blogging software, which is a shame, as I specifically started using it because of the FOAF output — so have decided to switch to a WordPress install here at tomheath.com. I’ve managed to import the 20 most recent posts from the old blog using the WordPress import tool for RSS (hooray for data in reusable formats) but not the earlier ones as there is no RSS feed for those (boo to that needless limitation). There’s still some cleanup to do on the imported posts, some general housekeeping tasks and a decent theme to choose, which will be a good displacement activity for me over the next few weeks. Any suggestions for essential WP plugins to install would be welcomed.
