0.375 ounces of Gold
I’ve just found out that a “tola” is 0.375 ounces of gold in India, thank you Meghna Nayak.
Edit: Apparently a tola is also 10 grams of hashish, it gets better 😛
Free Culture UK
Attended my first phone conference with Free Culture UK this evening (minutes). I’m thinking of starting a Free Culture Society at the University of Birmingham.
Ideas Wiki
I’ve started a public wiki at ideas.hippygeek.co.uk
“I hope for this to be a kind of breeding ground for some of the ideas I’ve had for web sites or projects. I have a private wiki full of ideas and I thought it was about time I put some of them up for peer review and comment, with a view to building communities around the projects to push them further.”
Of particular interest is the proposed Digital Convergence group which I hope to be a research group feeding into development projects elsewhere.
See also, the Student Cookbook, feel free to contribute!
Twisted Lemon
I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this here before but things are going well. Twisted Lemon is a startup company my friends and I are kicking off. We’re soon to become a limited liability company and it’s all very exciting.
Web Site Changes
Nobody apart from me cares about this, but I want to change hippygeek.co.uk in its most drastic change since 2001 by moving to a Drupal based site and migrating my blog in-house.
TOAL
I will post some more of my travel blog entries soon, I really will.
In other news
Laura and I took Penny to Rutland Water for a picnic which was very cool 😀
Other than that, I’ve been doing lots of coding, some cooking and washing and working on more projects than I can keep track of, it’s great!
