Does this count as a 'Me Gusta'?

It's from a story in the Telegraph today, you probably don't want to know what it really is..

Fine. Project seems to make sense to me, guess she's looking for people who don't go shopping or browse porn for half an hour.

Erm? I don't get it. Is that meant to be a diss?

Hi all / anyone reading this!

I have a favor to ask for a mate. She is working on a small media course project, and designed a website that is meant to investigate metaphors of space online: www.spaceofnewmedia.com. (please don't judge. It's a work in progress). It focuses mostly on the idea of self-propelled navigation, looking at how our expectations for free movement in physical space compare with our expectations and practices of moving around cyberspace. Still reading? Right now, the site is mostly her rambling on about these sorts of things. She is trying to make it link out to other places on the web; it seems weird to have online navigation as a subject in a self-contained site. This is where you come in. In addition to giving the site limbs, so to speak, it would be a lot more fitting if it had more than one brain.

So her goal is to set up a map – a map of physical space-- and create dots on that map representing users (you) and then clicking on those dots would allow a visitor to the site to walk in the webby cyber-shoes (a technical term) of the person from that physical locale. So it would be a series of links not unlike the search engine Stumble Upon, except the guiding principle would be your browser history from one single session. If you are shy about handing over your browser history, I understand. There is no reason to divulge your identity to make this work.

If you are interested all you would need to do would be to click on your browser history after you have spent whatever amount of time on the internet and then copy and paste it in an email to her along with the date you were online and an estimate of how much time you spent. She will eliminate any identifying marks, such as a facebook link that opens up to your username, before posting. It depends on your browser but usually you find your history under view or tools and just cut and paste.

If you are extra interested perhaps you and I could set up a regular time so that you could donate your history every Friday afternoon or whathaveyou. Because she would like it to be over space (virtual space) and across time, what she would really like would be to collect multiple samples from the same individual.

Kids are welcome on the basis that supervised online use or sessions with blocks built-in could be really interesting.

I think with enough participation, the end result could be kind of fun: instead of roaming around, you would roam as someone else.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll point you in her direction. Also, if you want to invite others to this, it would actually be amazing to include as many people beyond her own circle of friends as poss.

Thanks!

Cheers for that.

On the new RHCP album, who sings on Did I Let You Know with Kiedis? and Meet me on the corner

Are you sorted with this now?

Don't joke, there were roaches in my current place when we moved in. Real fixer upper.

If there's £400 to be hand and it's less than an hour from South Woodford, and bike friendly, I'm all ears.

Don't be a tease.

Well, 550 is more than I want to spend on housing at the moment, and I need to get to South Woodford and Wapping pretty easily. Prefer to save money than spend it on a nicer area, been there done it.

Cyclist and Primary school teacher looking for a room in Whitechapel / Mile End area, for commute to South Woodford on Central Line.
Looking to move-in sometime mid-October.
Clean and tidy, n/s, no pets.
Flat wanted as cheaply as possible really, and if need-be then October-December short let. Sub 550 per month please.
Thanks!

Northface messenger bag - gone to TonyMe

Jansport blue backpack £5

CamelBak blue backpack, without water sack insert - gone to TonyMe

I would prefer you pick up from my place on Coldharbour Lane, SE5, but can meet some mornings on Fleet Street / Tower Hill.

Interested, I'll PM

Sigma £5, but Cat Eye Wireless went to a PM.
Mobidog has dibs on the three - £25 is fine.
Punkt - think I PM'd, I might include it with my Allez, how much would you like it for separately?

I've been riding my Kansi Twenty1 for a few months now, enjoying the occasional skid out but it's not for wet weather. Much prefer the folding style, faster and easier than Brompton.

Looks like £250. Whatever, it's going on ebay with the phone now. I'll edit as soon as mod unlocks my op.

Sumo suit has gone. Please note the headpiece is NOT a substitute for a helmet..

Keen as mustard.

Happy to post iphone, looks like £7/8 spec del. I've taken a gander at ebay - looks like the ipad is worth £200 currently, and the iphone about £300. Both working fine. I use the ipad daily but have wiped the iphone - so it's asking for a SIM card when you turn it on. The ipad is wifi only, not 3G, and I have the original box. I'll even leave several ibooks and my Times newspaper sub on it if you'd like.

Woutchi, you have made me laugh harder than if I'd seen myself wearing the thing. Cheers.

Bit of a fire sale here, looking to stop hoarding and live lighter. First dibs go to riders before I chuck it on gumtree, then a charity shop. As a poor student, I would like some recompense, but how much are old ipads worth?
Prefer pick up from Coldharbour Lane, but can ride out within reason to Brixton / E&C / Fleet Street / Tower Hill. Just drop PMs over the weekend and I'll cross 'em off as I go.

Black Iphone 4G 32gb. It has no marks and is in perfect condition. Wiped and ready, comes boxed with all accessories. As I picked this phone up without a warranty, I can't offer you one.

Original black 16gb iPad with leather case.

Unused inflatable sumo suit. Use your imagination. - SOLD

Ah, of course. 58cm. Not a clue, would like few hundred but I don't sell racers normally. I buy them. PM me if anyone wants to make an offer and take a look at it.

Red / black here from 2009. Needs a chain, and slight ding to the frame from a theft attempt.

Wheels are Salco Dynamics 270 or Fulcrum Racing 7, not pictured.

Interesting thread. Yet again FG/SS riders show they have taste. I've always fancied treating myself to a Panerai, but I see a tag here that 'panerai suck eggs'. Can't find the comment?
I have a Longines Master Collection I might post up, wear it far too often for a dress watch :-/

Hey. I've got one at my parents' back in Dorset. How soon do you want it? PM me if still looking.

oh, ps: alu/carb and SPDs..
