		<title>Labour’s Intercept Modernisation Programme returns from the grave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I suppose it shouldn&#8217;t come as any surprise that a government goes back on its word once they get to power, but it nonetheless disappoints to discover that LibCons have resurrected Labour&#8217;s batshit insane Intercept Modernisation Programme. Now called the Communications Capabilities Development Programme and containing a few superficial tweaks (namely dispensing with a centralised [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing the BCT Framework</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over on GitHub I have just open sourced a PHP web and web services framework which I&#8217;ve been making use of to build a lot of projects recently. Initially, it was built for a single project but I&#8217;ve ended up using it for many other things, and I thought it might be useful to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Complete 2011 UK Census data hacked claims LulzSec</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lulzsec, a cracker establishment which popped up in May, has claimed to have accessed the complete records of the 2011 UK Census. According to the BBC, the main guy involved seems to have been arrested. Whether or not any of this actually turns out to be true is not really the issue. The UK government&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Wikileaks will fail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few days, you will be aware that the whistle blowing website Wikileaks has recently published a massive collection of US government memos dating back to the 1960s. Even the issuing of a D-Notice has failed to prevent the reporting of some of the contents [...]]]></description>

		<title>Interception Modernisation Programme</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the middle of the most drastic budget cuts since the great depression, with billions being slashed from education and welfare, the Interception Modernisation Programme is coming back to life like some horror movie monster. Yes, it would seem that Labour&#8217;s Orwellian program to monitor everyone&#8217;s internet activity has been resurrected by the coalition government to the tune of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Facebook’s long memory: Hotel California still in place…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I remarked in a previous tweet, people these days seem surprised when you say you&#8217;re not on The Book. So, as I came back after seeing a friend and yet another person asked me to add them as a friend on Facebook, I thought I might reconsider my previous position. So I signed up&#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Facebook question: is privacy dead?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I took the decision to delete my Facebook account. There has been a lot about Facebook and privacy in the tech press over the past few weeks &#8211; making live chats public, the ABC bug, criminalising violations of their terms of service, etc. Facebook has a clear habit of leaking data, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>#debill passed back to the commons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it would seem that despite firm opposition by the Liberal democrats the utter abortion that is the Digital Economy bill has made it through the house of lords and has been passed back to the commons. It is the government&#8217;s hope that MPs will not exercise their right to debate this bill further, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>[audioblog] Google buzz and privacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Unless you have been living under a rock the last few days you will be aware of Google&#8217;s new social networking product &#8211; Google Buzz. Unfortunately it would seem that some assumptions made by the designers and the automatic opt-in nature of the service has lead to some serious issues. For me it underlines some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barcamp Transparency in 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve been a little bit quiet over the whole Barcamp transparency thing in recent months for one reason or another &#8211; but not because nothing has been happening! As the UK enters into an election year, and with legislation such as the infamous Digital Economy Bill being rushed through parliament, and all parties promising [...]]]></description>
