I got a response from Lucy Powell about GCHQ/Tempora…
25 August 2013
On the 5th of August I wrote to my MP about Tempora. My concerns are quite generalised, and my letter format and styling is to be worked upon, however the most important thing was to convey my opinion, and that is what I did: Today I received a response. Take a read, it'll only take […]
The problem with the Tempora and GCHQ story – How do we communicate it?

We've found out, via a whistleblower, that in the past few years, mass surveillance, for the purposes of later analysis, has been turned into reality, in the US and in the UK.

Howto be a submarine facebook 'friend' and wreck friendships
12 November 2011
Hi, today I want to talk about how to really mess up friendships with Facebook. No this isn't so that you can go an use it on people, but because it's a flaw which I think people should be aware of. First we have to understand a little known feature of Facebook: Facebook doesn't want […]
