Need a simple HTML5-compliant website template? Give this one a try, it's future-proof.

Obviously as it gets, i didn't work much on this project during the past couple of years, mostly because i reached a state where i don't really know how to move on from here, nor how the 'Net will evolve in the future w/r to the IPv4 and IPv6 deployments. I received (almost) no feedback on this blog, i couldn't find anyone willing to help me out with this project out of the people i know, and although i am constantly flirting with the idea of trying an indiegogo campaign, i just don't feel ready to drop everything else in my life and try this all-or-nothing move all by myself.

So throughout most of this year i just worked (on and off) on finishing some older projects which were dragging on for way too long, one of which is an HTML5-compliant website template which was in the "almost done" state for quite a while. While not directly related to this project, i might be using this template for the P2P OS presentation website in some [more or less] distant future, so heck, fwiw, why not also share it on this blog.

Freedom, the real thing

Haven't posted anything here in a while, so here i go :)

They wish it were a shockwave, this is a landslide

Well done guys, you's got balls.

It's June 5th, time to reset the net (or somethin')

There's Alexis making some noise here: SaveYourPrivacyPolicy.org

and you have Eduard beating his drums here: ResetTheNet.org

and then some more noise here: FightForTheFuture.org

and... well, you get the drill.

Merry X-mas!

Striving for perfection

I ran into yet another unexpected roadblock (pretty nasty stuff btw), i's workin' on it, but ain't gonna whine about all this just yet, so let's take a break for a moment (pun intended :P) and peek at the pros for a change (it's Sunday, what the heck!)

Pirates invade Berlin

The German wing of The Pirate Party just got a few comfy seats in the Berlin state parliament. While the news will sound exciting in and of itself for grass-root movements supporters and ideologists, maybe even more significant would be to mention here that such a development could only happen in (some sort of) a proportional representation democracy, i.e. forget about first taking Manhattan and then taking Berlin, that will never work, but the other way around...

Interesting times ahead or just another protest vote? Time will tell.

Freedom with a twist: micro-states

This is an idea sitting dormant at the back of my mind ever since i started this P2P OS project (well, should i ever be able to make any real money out of it :p): http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/peter-thiel-founder-of-paypal-invests-124-million-to-create-floating-micro-countries/2011/08/17/gIQA88AhLJ_blog.html

PS
Just to make things clear from my personal opinions' point of view: when i say "this is an idea sitting dormant at the back of my mind" i mean the independent [micro-]states idea, but i don't have any specific form of government/society in mind just yet. My reasoning behind the micro-states idea is to allow people to build and trade things inside a small-business-friendly legislation, but i can hardly see any appeal for someone in her right minds to actually be living on a boat somewhere in the middle of the ocean.
