t is a matter of public record (as of today) that another Order was issued. It was issued by the joint head of the media and communications list at the UK’s High Court. As is already known to the opposing party, we’re not unrepresented in the case because of Legal Aid and pro bono advice from a “leading specialist in defamation, privacy, and data protection law.”

We are not fearful of the Court (but we do respect it) because we had done no wrong by opposing merciless attacks on women, on Computer Science, and on computer security. I did no wrong by protecting my wife from online abuse and by protecting women in America from physical abuse in America. The other side is wasting obscene amounts of money trying to project in absentia. The aim is to distract from their own horrific actions and make it sound like the real culprit is the person who wrote about the actions.

It’s not naive to have faith and genuine belief that at the end justice will be served, not weaponised.

Gettint cold, sun low

‘ve just slept in the sun, maybe for the last time (for this year), as it rapidly gets cold(er) and if clouds cover the sun, then it is too much to bear for a long time. Eyes shut, with music on, it’s all turning into a rather deep sleep. Within seconds, not minutes. Controlling a Discman is easy without seeing anything (mechanical buttons).

Somehow it feels increasingly certain this was the last for the year.

In some sense, “goodbye, 2026.”

think it’s no secret that applications have been made concerning an appeal in our case, a case that can last many more months. We have been saying for a while that this would happen, but the process is slow and cumbersome.

In the meantime we carry on as usual. Life goes on.

Disposable slippers no more?

t seems like we’ll be getting winter-like temperatures soon and I’ve not yet found an affordable heating body for some of the fish. Rianne has one in her tank, so I’ll probably need to get it running very soon, then move the tetras there.

Some news reports say the winter in Europe can become notoriously cold this year because of streams and climate change. I have no reasons to doubt that.

As planned

oday I saw this new (and timely) screenshot of something I had posted to Twitter (and JoinDiaspora, not Mastodon) 5 years ago. The screenshot was posted yesterday in Twitter (now ‘X’) and this relates to an issue we plan to bring to the Court of Appeal next year. A judge did not object to the matter being discussed just before Christmas of this year. Likewise, he did not award costs to anybody.

The plan to address the Court of Appeal remains relevant and practicable.

Getting Aggressive Suggestive of Loss

omorrow morning we’ll have an important story regarding “GGG”.

At this point it seems like one man (or highly aggressive hired gun) subsidises the lawfare again us.

Stay tuned!

Techrights plans and more

oday’s bright start, with 20 degrees expected on Monday (yes, in October), is nothing to complain about. Today, for a change, the sick bird isn’t sleeping here overnight; we’d like to think of that as a sign of this bird getting better. She had loads of food yesterday as I fed her close to 20 times.

Tomorrow it’ll be one week before football resumes. This very long recess feels rather strange.

In other news, it seems increasingly probable that next year we’ll touch base with the Court of Appeal. There’s some other good news, but it’s premature to talk about it in public.

We’re starting to plan how to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Techrights. Not all of us are in the UK, so it’s tricky.
