If London Was Deserted…

Ever wondered what a deserted London might look like? Like 28 Days but with everyone gone? This could be what it looks like…… and it’s damned unnerving.

Returning back to running after a period of being unable to breathe properly due to a cough. Still lingering slightly, but doesn’t now wake me up at 1am for a coughing fit.

Averaged 5:52 min/km so still within my 6min mark. Running with a Spotify Running list at 160bpm. Finding that’s letting me go slow, but not burn out too quickly.

New Zealander says passport photo rejection ‘not racist’ – BBC News

Technology still has a way to go it seems.

I remember when trying to get back into Heathrow from Germany – and the automatic barriers wouldn’t let me in because I was wearing glasses :/

New Zealand man of Asian origin has “no hard feelings” after passport system said eyes were closed.

One Line Story

They say you only read the first few lines of a post. So let me tell you a story in one line.
 
“He hit send. His head then hit a tree….”
 
This Christmas, if you’re driving, pay attention to the road, and don’t Drink & Drive.

Time is running out for NTP | InfoWorld

A lot of projects are corporate, but some, like NTP are small, or even solo projects. When these small projects become really important and still not have enough resource to maintain, the security issues can’t be patches as fast as, say Oracle, Microsoft or Google.

Everyone benefits from Network Time Protocol, but the project struggles to pay its sole maintainer or fund its various initiatives

The Voting Process

This is why Trump got voted.
 
Maybe this will give america the kick in the arse it needs to change its voting system.
 
And maybe it’ll give the UK a kick it needs to also get rid of the first past the post system here too.
 
But I’m not holding my breath.

Nice short run, just trying to get my form and pace back before increasing distance.

Wix gets caught “stealing” GPL code from WordPress | Ars Technica

Well… “stealing”? I guess it depends on how you interpret the GPL.  Nonetheless bottom line is — if you are going to use GPL code, your code and product must follow the same license. i.e.

“… if you’re going to embed GPL stuff in your code and produce a derivative product, you’re going to have to make that derivative compliant with GPL—either by shipping the code with it or providing the code on request”

So, the headline of “stealing” GPL code? Can you actually “steal” code that is open source? Using open source in a closed source product would be a violation of the GPL (which I believe is what’s being talked about here), but is that “stealing”?

I’m not siding with either side here, I’m just not sure the word “stealing” is the right phrase to use in this headling here, quoted or not. Guess that’s clickbait for you….
