This is

as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

. Here I write about many things. In the past I wrote about other things but the past is past. I write code for people to play with, I write about my life on Twitter, and I write here.

On I wrote Pledges at PledgeBank, on the subject of Politics.

The MySociety crew, who are responsible for excellent things like WriteToThem (which replaces FaxYourMP), have built PledgeBank. PledgeBank is a central clearing house for “pledges”—you say “I’ll write to the BBC and ask them to do things in ogg format as long as 30 other people will too“, and the site handles all the administration of collecting those thirty people. You still have to convince thirty people to do it, but at least you don’t have to try and track all their names and email them to remind them.
If 20 other people will write to their MP to ask for it too, then I will write to my MP asking for free wireless internet access in the British Library (Tom Steinberg)

On a sort-of related note, I’m happy to report that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has an Ogg Vorbis trial going on.

They must have some cool hackers working for them, applying pressure from the inside.
