Yeah, I've been kinda busy and just not much to talk about.
However that all changed this week when our Labour Government managed to vividly demonstrate they (and the civil service) have no idea what computerised government actually means.
(hint: it means 25million people's private information can be lost in seconds)
I'm not going to repeat it all, everyone in the UK knows it by now, but for anyone reading this, please ensure you realise the Home Office's statement that "ID cards would be more secure" is *bunk*. Complete bunk. There would be a database in a computer centre somewhere, and that database would be run by civil servants, or for civil servants.
Identically to the child benefit database?
Wendy Grossman's blog is worth reading, its concise and to the point:
