Well that article appeared in The Age today. You can read it online or in Today’s Age in the Next (IT) section on page 5.

I was quoted for saying:
“My main concern with the proposed settlement is that it explicitly denies access to individuals, not-for-profit organisations and government organisations for API, documentation and communications protocols. This information should be available to the public at no charge”

Along with my quote was a little portrait:

Well I guess it had to happen sometime. The otherday I journalist interviewed me by email because I made a submission to the US Department of Justice. The journalist was from a local newspaper (The Age) and said he was looking for submissions made by Australians. A week later (yesterday) I received a phone call asking if they could take a photo of me to put with the submission. I agreed so it was taken today.

Funny how they go looking for your details. He found my email address (I’m guessing he performed a google search on my name) and my phone number (obviously not had to get either).

Well I’m glad that exams are over… as of Friday morning when I had my last exam (Physics)… but whoops today I didn’t go to school. Tommorow I have two cisco tests though they should be easy. Apparently there was fog over the city for most of yesterday…. it’s a pitty I didn’t know about it as I would have gone to take some photos (if there was anything to be seen)… apparently it was supposed to be rare but I don’t know why as I couldn’t find it on any news sites.

Wooohoo Jogger is finally back up so here is a long awaited update (I tried to do this a week ago)…. Just reading over my previous enteries and have a few updates.

First of all on the 29th of December I said “Looks like summer finally has settled in” having said that, it would seem like we hardly had a summer this year. We might have had a few warm days when the air conditioning came in handy but not our usual summer weather. But it’s not all bad as summer didn’t bite me as it normally does!

On the 10th of March, why did I waste so much time on that infamous OS that I’ve never even booted since?

Hmmmm been a while since I updaged my Jogger… well hey I’m 18 as of last Saturday…. so will be able to go for my driver’s license at sometime. Went out for dinner on Saturday to a sort of Japanese restaurant…. it was good but expensive.
