Open source appears to be OK for use in UK government circles, and is rising in Australia as well.
Saw a great flamenco-ish dance show yesterday called Flamenco Directo. A slightly snotty review is available from the Stage. From my ignoramus perspective, it was great entertainment and great dancing.
Islington isn’t great at waste. Management of it, that is. It’s mostly down to the contract with ICSL / Accord, I reckon.
Apparently xmas is coming on the web, too. Some nice ideas on how to make finding that perfect gift even easier.

The government is thinking about an eBay-style marketplace for goods and services. It’s an interesting idea – as they suggest, why not let the private sector build it and run it under licence and then it doesn’t really matter if it works or not. Interesting to see how services might work in this approach, as well.
