your guilt at work»So somebody reading this blog joined the Open Rights Group and sent me their confirmation code, even though I have already received enough notifications to be forced to write daily for this month. Sheesh. People, this is the Internet: have you not heard of free-riding?
So, anyway, to burn up any remaining goodwill, for the forseeable future, if you now join ORG at the tenner-a-month rate (or up your payment by a fiver), send me your confirmation code, and then tell me which of the following you’d like from me. Choose from:
- Another month of blogging (worth five ORG memberships) [no. of votes so far: 3]
- A special one-off issue of NTK (worth ten ORG memberships) [no. of votes so far: 1]
- A special podcast issue of NTK (ten ORG memberships)
- What I really think of Andrew Orlowski (five ORG memberships, even though I know I should probably price this one higher)
I envisage you’ll be able to move around your vote when it’s clear I won’t reach any of these, but I’ll do that only at certain points, like in Mike Reid’s Runaround, so think carefully.
As a show of goodwill on my part, here’s Flowers for Debian, a piece I wrote a few years ago for Linux User and Developer.
