Data could kill knowledge A- as long as the lights stay on
David Tebbutt
Monday: the power supply to the road goes off for 12 hours starting at 3am. At 6am my kitchen fitters start to arrive. Fortunately, they have battery-operated drills and screwdrivers, but it cramps their style.

I've spent a year deeply immersed in the public blog world and, frankly, I'm sick of it. So-called A-list bloggers spout whatever's on their minds, just because they're A-list bloggers and it's what they do. They can't stop because their identity is totally bound up in the blog, never mind all the
