My Latin being a little rusty, and it being late in the day, I whacked the term into Google and was disappointed to find that there was no adequate definition of the term in the search results; merely band names and a German entry.

Reading Daniel Domscheit-Berg's Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website gives the twofold impression of a deeply ideological personality, but also a man stinging from hurt naivety.

A few weeks ago, I tweeted that the first beta of Android for Mendeley was almost ready. This post is an update on that status. I'm afraid to say that, about ten minutes after I posted that status, I ran a test on the oAuth code only to find that it was not working. This was strange as I had made no changes and it was previously working.

I had a Thompson Speedtouch, a Netgear DG834GT and, most recently, a Netgear DGN2200. The problem I have always experienced, though, is that when I open a large number of connections (say, using BitTorrent), all these models die a miserable death.

Last night I was privileged enough to attend an event forming part of the British Library's Evolving English series featuring the novelist Russell Hoban in conversation with renowned satirist, novelist and generally sharp guy, Will Self.

This is my second review of a book on WikiLeaks, a subject which holds almost indefinite fascination for me, the first being David Leigh and Luke Harding's WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy . The book I am covering today is Greg Mitchell's self published The Age of WikiLeaks: From Collateral Murder to Cablegate (and Beyond) . Before proceeding, however, it's worth checking out this video: This video is an apt

It seems there's a few bugs in various Android variants that prevent a valid routing table being setup when connecting to an institutional eduroam network. The problem, which I have seen people reporting on XDA, occurs when you can get onto the wifi network, but still no resources are available.

This is an announcement regarding the formation, and first UK meeting, of the UK Academic Pynchon Network, to take place on Friday the 1st of April, 2011 at Durham University. The format will be fairly informal, mainly a discussion group inviting work in progress, papers, ideas, chapters etc.

For all the pains they take throughout to emphasise the vast quantity of editorial resources deployed in the redaction and publication of the most sensational scoops of 2010, the impression one gets reading David Leigh and Luke Harding's WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy is that some of those editors should have been deployed upon the book itself. It has, obviously from the timescale, been put together in a rush.

As part of SA4QE2011, here's three photos of my drop locations (there were many more, but these were the ones I photographed). I'd also like to share this excellent image of the ephemera distributed by Twitter user @Dystopia2009 as part of his event: Drop #1 Somewhere between Enfield Town and Seven Sisters. Drop #2 The British Library Cafe. Drop #3 Somewhere in the British Library.
