Another Day of rehearsal


It gets better and better. Looking forward to blowing the cobwebs away at 
Leeds Uni this Saturday. Among other things we will be playing Wire & Glass 
which is dedicated to Dr Vint Cerf (who in 1970 helped create TCP/IP, the 
protocol code that eventually unleashed the real power of data transfer by 
computer and wire).

"If you have the ivory tower view that the internet is good only if 
everything on it is good you are mistaken."

"The internet is a reflection of our society and that mirror is going to be 
reflecting what we see," he said. "If we do not like what we see in that 
mirror the problem is not to fix the mirror, we have to fix society."
