Ben Darlow has advice on how to chuck a spanner in the Metropolitan Police’s terrible new anti-photography policy - flood it with false positive reports (well, more false positive reports) to help them realise the utter futility of harassing innocent photographers. Add 0800 789 321 to your mobile phone’s contacts database and dial it whenever you see someone taking a photograph in London - regardless of whether it’s a professional snapper, a camera phone user, a tourist or anyone in between.
The ORG have gotten some BBC press coverage over the Phorm storm.
Cory Doctorow has a good post on how to put something up on the Web in a way that doesn’t suck and that is likely to induce bloggers to post about it. I’ve got a new linking policy - I’m now going to link straight through to “Print” pages. The multi-page faff that some web publishers does sucks arse big time, and the print versions are often easier downloads for people on mobile connections. Of course, if you’ve designed your site properly, you don’t need a print version as you can use CSS and JavaScript to make sites print prettily.
