I have been reading the SMH and it appears that the Ravens at the Tower of London have been placed into quaranteen to protect them from Bird Flu. What interested me was the names – Branwen, Hugine, Munin, Gwyllum, Thor and Baldrick. Hmm. Baldrick. Sounds familiar. Yes. That is the name of a character from Blackadder. These days you can see all about Baldrick in Wikipedia.

The Law Journal in the USA has a bizzare story about cellphone call records in the USA are effectively freely available. Effectively in the USA all you need to do is to say that you want access, provide the phone number and pay money, and third parties will hand over the records. What really shocked me is that according to the article, cellphone records in the USA are not confidential. Thankfully here in Oz they are protected under the Telecommunications Act.
