The Cloud darkens
Google plans to make PCs history | Technology | The Observer
I’ve been very ethusiastic about holding my data in The Cloud, but the prospect of Google locking up my operating system, data and applications is a step too far. It’s not democratic; I would have no real say over how things work and it feels too “big brother”. I love the convenience of “The Cloud”, but I’m beginning to think again about the implications.
Cycling on The Stray – your support needed
A campaign from the Cycling Tourist Club
The Stray
Harrogate is the birthplace of CTC and members in the area would like you to support their campaign to get rid of an ancient bye-law banning cycling anywhere on the Stray, the 200 acres of green space in the heart of the town. The Council is holding a public consultation on proposals to permit cycling on a few key paths which are essential to complete the local cycle network, but opposition to any change on the Stray is strong.
Online responses to the consultation are urgently needed from cyclists who have a connection to Harrogate to support the Council’s proposals. The deadline is 15th December. For more details visit www.wheel-easy.org.uk

Illuminating York
It was almost the last chance to watch this show. Apparently it had been on all week in York’s Museum Gardens and I knew nothing about until I tuned in to Elly Fiorentini’s excellent Drivetime show on BBC Radio York.
The Illumintating York show is two site specific animated films projected onto the walls of The Yorkshire Museum and the ruins of St Mary’s Abbey. The effect is spectacular. The accompanying soundtracks are a mixture of narrative, music, ambience and aural collage. The clip above gives a glimpse of the event but if you can be there tonight (Sunday Nov 2nd) it plays out for the final time between 5 and 11pm.
Sadly it was also the last chance to hear Elly on Drive. The Radio York schedule changes on Monday and she’s doing a key “behind the scenes” job for a while. Thanks for making me laugh Elly (and for keeping me up to date and informed).
