When you are handed a bottle of wine, and the people who want to drink it can’t open it you think – this will be easy. No ohh no!
The bottle cap clamping machine for want of description failed to clamp the bottom part of the cap to the bottle so the top part could be torn away from the bottle and people could have a sip and call it good.
What we got here was something different.
Full wrench treatment.
Yay I can open bottles – can I patent this as a drinking method? 
for values of – I can do anything not everything – I want to be in about 10 places tonight but I will only be in one
There are ideas which are too big for people to deal with.
We notice when people fix things with sticking plaster so that what was can continue.
Broadcasting, journalism (not old style reporting), publishing in my eyes suffer as the control of these groupings gets into fewer and fewer hands.
We see the copyright extreamists trying to control the flow of information and monetise everything they touch. They may have a place in the society however it should not be in the role of creating and controlling monopolies.
For instance it can be illegal for an artist to play their own recorded music in public unless they have writtern premission of their publisher, failure to have such permission means that they would have to pay IMRO or some such, welcome to copyright central where you own nothing and you only get a licence to use something.
When I was young there were many washing powders, but most of them were made by one company.
Is that competition?
Is there a software industry, sure there are houses that write bespoke software.
If you see the a large software company, and then you see all the anti virus companies is this an industry or is it an illusion caused by the failure of a single company to fix a basic error and cost their customers more?
It appears to me that FreeBSD and GNU/Linux does not have most of the problems that are seen in the previous sentence, and I really don’t think it is because of the lack of market place acceptance. We note that people have tried and failed to write the odd computer virus for GNU/Linux. If they did then it should infect the full market place, not possible not all platforms are the same, x86, mips, arm and so forth. Not everyone runs the same programs.
This list could go on, however the basic arguement here is that some things need to be over hauled, and society is suffering while they are not.
Once I had an idea. It died, it was a good idea, it had provided me with several hours of thought. However it became obvious that the idea was not sustainable, it in fact was not going to continue. So it died, it is an ex idea. At exactly the moment it died a new idea was born. This was the old idea less the parts that killed off the first good idea, this was idea reincarnated.
now to execute some bad thoughts …
yeaaaah!
There is a joke about the Irish have several ways to say “mañana”, but none of them express that kind of urgency!
The title of this post is Gaelic for “Take it easy!”, so there is my greeting to you.
