Software Development and Pascal

It’s Wednesday and I’m on my lunch break, last lesson was Office and Personal Productivity Applications, we created a programme using Microsoft word. Next we have Software Development, getting a better understanding of Macro, started creating a program using Pascal. Interesting when the computer runs the program and I see the end results, can’t wait till I have created some more of the program. Then I will see how programs are really made.

Return of the Dot Matrix Printer

It’s Monday night and I’m sat here reflecting on how the day has been, was it the Assessment or the Dot Matrix Printer we used this morning? You don’t think how technology has moved on till you have used one of these printers again. Believe me, having ten of them going at the same time wasn’t healthy for my ears, the noise was that bad you could here it halfway down the corridor from the computer room. Made you want to go home like a school kid with earache.

It’ s Wonderful Friday

Day off college, so I’m sat at home doing the homework I have been asked to do for next week, that includes another lot of revision and a couple of questions on the Software Development side of things. Also sat here thinking about how my blog is progressing each time I write a new entry, changed the background as I felt It was a little to dark.

Classic Thursdays

Thursdays are always the best, Web development is really fun. Seem to be picking up the basics up now, has to be a plus, learning something about Web development every second. Have a better understanding of what I want to achieve from the course, drives me further to my ambitions.

Were any Laws Broken?

This is a difficult call as you have three powerful figures here, Alisher Usmanov who is billionaire wanting to buy Arsenal FC, not at all happy with comments made, Craig Murray and Tim Ireland. All I can see is Craig Murray and Tim Ireland were expressing a freedom of speech.

This case relates to a case back in 1999 Involving Godfrey v Demon Internet Service. This meant website host companies are regarded as the publisher of such statements and comments. This means they are vulnerable for the bloggers actions, unfortunately this leaves the Internet Service Provider in a position of being sued accordingly. So this explains why Mr Usmanov had the upper hand.

What did Alisher Usmanov do about It?

In seeing the comments made about himself and his affair of wanting to buy Arsenal football club, he contacted Schillings lawyers. Schillings sent legal threats to Fasthosts Internet Ltd, the Internet service provider, who provided the server for Tim Irelands Bloggerhead website, this had a major role in the shut down of websites http://www.bloggerhead.com/ and http://www.craigmurrays.co.uk/

This generated the shut down of MP Boris Johnson’s, Bob Pipers and Clive Summerfield’s blogs. Bearing in mind, Pipers, Johnson and Summerfield’s hadn’t offended Alisher Usmanov they just used Bloggerhead.

So what is the situation here?

Looking into the situation here it has come very clear to me, Mr Alisher Usmanov was less than happy with comments made by Craig Murray, Former British Ambassador of Uzbekistan and Tim Ireland who is an online Marketing Consultant and operator of the once Bloggerhead. Comments had been made about his Interest in Arsenal FC and his past in various blogs.
