gloriously free and unemployed the rain comes down. I've
suggested to the company that I'll maintain the code for

security services will now be connected directly to all
ISPs, monitoring everybody's internet activity and emails.
You can use encryption but you've got to give the keys to
the government or you go to jail. Looks like the UK turned
to shit while I've been away. Hopefully this'll disgust
people enough that it gets revoked or it doesn't look like
I'll ever be going home. There won't be much tech work
there soon anyway.
