Well, we’ve reached 2005 at last. This year with be Bandwidth Year, once work moves to new premises in June.
Christmas and related stuff: Have finally got “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King” on DVD, although have not yet found a free four-hour slot to watch it! Also, got a copy of Hacker’s Challenge, which gives a number of security incident scenarios where you have to figure out what went wrong – seems quite good.
And one thing about the Asia earthquake/tsunami. Listen up, broadcasters: when the death toll is running in excess of 100,000, don’t you think that it’s rather tasteless to argue the toss over whether the British death toll is 20 or 25 or whatever? We are talking about the population of a small city dead and millions made homeless – this is a huge, natural disaster. Trying to give casualty figures by nationality “in order of importance” is rather sad.
