This article should offend nobody, yet will probably manage to offend everybody, but so be it, as it needs to be said. Recently Baroness Warsi, co-chairwoman of the Conservative party said that religion is being "sidelined, marginalised and downgraded in the public sphere." About the same time a council was taken to court over holding prayers at the start of meetings, a case it lost and as a result the government introduced new laws so that they could do so again.

There are 3846 people in the White Oak ward of Swanley, Kent that should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. In fact, lets not beat around the bush, you're a bunch of lazy idiots! Why? Simple, the powers that be organised a by-election for the town council, and the turnout was a pathetic 18.5%, meaning approximately 3846 people couldn't be arsed to vote. Like I said, pathetic!

According to the BBC, next month, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) will begin offering a free online course in 6.002x: Circuits and Electronics through its fully automated MITx programme. From the looks of it, it'll be free to join from anywhere in the world, and those that complete it successfully will receive a certificate, while MIT students can complete the course as part of their degree. Apparently there are plans to offer more courses in a wide range of subjects once this initial trial has completed.
Update: I have now enrolled on the course which will begin on March 5th 2012. You can do the same by going to the MIT page and hitting on enroll.

The other day I received a phone call from 01234 765093. If you get a call from them, unless you have experience with computers and you fancy wasting their time, then you should ignore them and under no circumstances do what they suggest. Failure to heed this advice is likely to lead to your computer being held ransom pending payment of a large amount of money. Others have reported this as being close to £200 GBP.

When they announced the launch date of the Raspberry Pi, I kind of knew that it would never ship on time, no matter how much I wanted to believe it. Anyway, due to a manufacturing problem, it looks like we'll be getting our juicy boards towards the end of this month. So when I do finally get one, what shall I do with it?

With the completion of a couple of bugfixes and the publication of the RSS feed yesterday, the main development work on CMv6 is now complete and CallamMcMillan.com is now online. What this means is that while I still need to do some development work on the site, most of this is now cosmetic, or on the back-end of the site and the main focus is on content. This post will look at a few of the outstanding tasks and some of the issues the site faces.

When I was in Taiwan, I saw this advert for an Android Tablet and was so amazed by the tastelessness of it that I burst out laughing. Of course the tablet is going to be rubbish, but I like it for their advertising campaign featuring Steve Job's angel! So here it is on YouTube.
