As if by magic a phonecall from Direct Line saying #Admiral had been in touch to confirm they accept liability
…can’t think how that happened.

How #AdmiralInsurance are trying to blackmail me and are lying to my insurers (FAO: @AdmiralNews)
On sunday I suffered a vehicle collision which I have documented elsewhere. I am insured by Direct Line, the other driver is insured by Admiral. I have a videotape of the other driver admitting liability and saying that he “didn’t see me” even, so I thought things would be relatively cut and dried. On tuesday,…

In which I agree with Peter Dinklage about luck …
If you haven’t seen Game of Thrones on TV, then do so. Peter Dinklage plays Tyrion who is probably the most affable, balanced, charming and fair character in the entire series. Dinklage has an extended interview in the NYT, which ends: “I feel really lucky,” he said, then added, “although I hate that word —…

One thing that particularly upsets me about #CCDP is that it’s a step towards a British #CALEA (HT #Netflix)
As my former colleague Dave Walker touched upon in a comment in this blog there is a massive question over who has to provide CCDP interception capability if you’re a British Communication Service Provider. Say you use the Amazon EC2 Cloud – the servers are all outside the UK: Ireland, US West/East/Central, South America, Far…

An extract from the Crypto Wars / ORG Wiki
Sound familiar? In its dying days, John Major’s Conservative Government proposed draconian controls in the UK too. Any provider of encryption services would have to be licensed and encryption keys would have to be placed in escrow just in case the Government wanted to read your email.
