Just catching up with my older googlages these days.

In the once-upon-a-time days of the First Age of Magic, the prudent sorcerer regarded his own true name as his most valued possession but also the greatest threat to his continued good health, for - the stories go - once an enemy, even a weak unskilled enemy, learned the sorcerer's true name, then routine and widely known spells could destroy or enslave even the most powerful. As times passed, and we graduated to the Age of Reason and thence to the first and second industrial revolutions, such notions were discredited. Now it seems that the Wheel has turned full circle (even if there never really was a First Age) and we are back to worrying about true names again.

"Blogging On A Regular Basis Has Been.."

.. impossible for me during the last months. I finished my degree and worked a lot for the research project I was assisting on. I still observed many things around me though that might pop up later again when I write new posts.

As of now, I decided to break the rule that you have to keep your blog followers happy with frequent posting. I will continue this blog anyways as randomly as I want to. You might find three posts at a time or three weeks without any updates. Time is erratic.

I leave you with several links today - important links, if you follow up on current ICT-related politics. Enjoy engaging with these topics.
