akismet API key installed so now my wordpress rocks with anti-spam for comments

I’ve been occupied with my Study of the Political for most hours of the last quarter of 2006 and have had precious little time for anything other. My blogs BEC and STMP have not been updated in months… a sad state of affairs really. Furthermore proposed boundary changes and my moving plans mean changes! Brent East will no longer exist so BEC will need to be revised. Sarah Teather may no longer be my MP with the obvious implications for the STMP blog….

So I’m consolidating my online presences and merging my blogs. I’ve imported all articles from BEC and STMP along with my personal tech/politics blog into this site: robdyke.com/noc. The NOC stands for two things: Network Operations Centre and No Overall Control. These two definitions are linked; I continue to develop and nurture networks, both socio-political and technological and I continue to be interested and engaged with London Borough of Brent politics. And as we know, there is No Overall Control of Brent Council.

previously at the gold.socialtools.org web project…this year I’ve been posting my lecture notes on my wiki at robdyke.com/goldsmiths. I’ve been using Freemind to make my notes in lectures. From the wiki the source of my notes can be downloaded and editted. Wikka Wiki includes the java viewer so the mind maps can be viewed with a web browser.

ping www.robdyke.com? yes…. host still responds……

Team Gold are recruiting for an Internet Campaigns Officer in their Innovations Department. You appear to need to know about open source tools and have some sympathy with the Lib Dems. Hummmm, interesting……
