Links for 29 September 2009 through 30 September 2009

30 September 2009 in Daily Links by del.icio.us | No comments

Stilgherrian’s links for 29 September 2009 through 30 September 2009, published with very little care whatsoever:

jQuery Carousel: This is the code that Jeff Waugh used for the rotating carousel of featured stories on the Crikey home page. He reckons he wouldn’t necessarily use it again. But this is my bookmark.
Online Database of Social Media Policies | Social Media Governance: A collection of (currently) more than 100 corporate policies relating to social media.
Is transparency the new objectivity? 2 visions of journos on social media | Nieman Journalism Lab: One of the more interesting discussions following the Washington Post‘s imposition of new, restrictive social media guidelines for its staff.
Against Journalistic “Balance” | Grits for Breakfast: This piece from 2008 covers many of the reasons I consider journalistic “objectivity” to be a myth.
The Eggcorn Database: An eggcorn is an accidental word, intended to be something else. The original “eggcorn” was meant to be “acorn”.
The Body In Question | YouTube: Jonathan MIller’s remarkable 13-part BBC television series on medicine from 1978. The encoding isn’t the best, but his wit and style come through. I’ve watched two episodes so far. In the second, I was intrigued to see an appendectomy being done using traditional surgery, rather than keyhole.
If Architects Had to Work Like Web Designers | Digital Survivors: Although written as satire, this does precisely describe the unrealistic expectations that many clients put onto their web designers and developers.

Talking Twitter for idea-generation on ABC Local Radio

26 May 2012 in Conversations, Human Nature, Internet, Media

I must admit, this one threw me a bit. Last Sunday ABC Radio presenter James O’Loughlin wanted to know whether he should start using Twitter because “having to tweet” might help him generate ideas. I thought he was looking at Twitter from the wrong angle. If he used Twitter it’s not that he had to [...]

Here’s the complete audio recording of last weekend’s panel discussion iSpy at the Sydney Writer’s Festival with Tommy Tudehope, me and moderator Marc Fennell. Even before Google controversially demolished the privacy walls between its various products, we were already living in the total surveillance society. With every keystroke we are voluntarily telling companies, governments and [...]
Transcript: Hacking and irrational actors in Redfern

26 May 2012 in Conversations, Internet, Politics

Back in February I spoke at the “Freedom of Information? panel held in Redfern by Recordkeeping Roundtable. I’ve previously posted the audio of my contribution. Here’s a transcript. Recordkeeping Roundtable’s website has the raw transcript as supplied, but I’ve decided to edit it up a little to make it more readable. Enjoy.
Weekly Wrap 102: Infosec and interference

21 May 2012 in Weekly Wrap

My week from Monday 14 to Sunday 20 May 2012 was mostly about the AusCERT information security conference and a blur of returning pain thanks to my dodgy shoulder. As I finish compiling this post, I’ve still got lots of AusCERT material to produce and Monday looks like being intense. So let’s just list everything [...]
Video: 5 Conference Tips for PR Professionals

19 May 2012 in Business, Internet, Marketing

On the way back from the AusCERT 2012 information security conference this afternoon I found myself stranded at Gold Coast airport for a couple hours, exhausted. What better, then, than an impromptu video explaining how public relations operatives can improve the way they interact with journalists at these events. This video was shot with a [...]
