Stick This In Your Nest And Raise It

I recently read Silicon Snake Oil (Cliff Stoll, author of The Cuckoo's Egg), and I am dispondent, disillusioned and wretched.

The book was written in 1995, but it's surprising how many of Stoll's complaints are still relevant today. In short, the 'net is still loaded with drek.
Some of his arguments border on Luddite (if you just 'prefer' the printed page, library index cards and other such physicality, well, enjoy -- personally I find files and photons more real and usable) but the point is that while he highlights a few issues that have been solved (to my own satisfaction), there are plenty that haven't, and others that have worsened. And unfortunately some of the drek is wetware, which doesn't upgrade very often, if at all.

And so? Well, personal sites count as drek by my reckoning (notable exceptions excepted), and I haven't been paying kwill.org as much attention as I should anyway. So, no more updates for a while: rather than spread myself, I have decided to focus on building the CLAWsite over at http://play.at/CLAWs/ (don't bother rushing over just yet)
Other projects will obviously still crop up, and I'll list 'em here with reliable old bullet lists. (Eeew!)
