Scott Hamilton interviewed on national radio re New Zealand poet Kendrick Smithyman
I enjoy Scott Hamilton’s Blog with its narrative posts, kiwi left leaning sensibility. This interview makes me want to read Kendrick Smithyman, sound like a worthwhile thing to do.
The poems are beautifully presented here http://www.smithymanonline.auckland.ac.nz/

All the news about WikiLeaks in one place, updated in real time

From Democracy Now
As the U.S. Department of Justice considers charging WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange under the Espionage Act of 1917, we speak with Robert Meeropol, the son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg—the only U.S. citizens to be executed under the Espionage Act, in what’s been described as the most controversial death sentence in U.S. history. This week, Meeropol released a widely read statement in support of WikiLeaks called, “My Parents Were Executed Under the Unconstitutional Espionage Act—Here’s Why We Must Fight to Protect Julian Assange.” [includes rush transcript]
I like the look of this open source distributed social network, getting out of the proprietary systems seems like worth doing, distributing them seems like a great idea. I have invited myself and it looks like it could go public soon.

I have a copy of the interview here as well:
Unbelievable till I recall what I used then & not an iPhone:
I’ve jumped around a bit with how to store photos on my blogs. Flickr seemed good as it tied in with an instant community, but uploading to flickr is not quick, and getting the photos back to show in a post is a bit messy. WordPress uploads (to WordPress on my server) seemed ok for a while but it is too complex. I also had some flash based displays & uploads that were ok. But now I am experimenting with putting them all on my own server just with FTP and using open source Zenphotos. It seems I am more in control and it is quick with FTP.
In 2011 I will link back from the photos site to the blog posts as well. As I’ve already done on the one new photo in the album:

Ah, more recent news (October 2010) and it confirms that there is a plan, to build and to oppose the dam.
Meridian has the project on first base by obtaining the required resource consents from the West Coast Regional and Buller District councils. In March, commissioners decided, two to one, to grant the consents. The Department of Conservation (DOC), Forest & Bird and Whitewater NZ are appealing and the Environment Court is expected to hear the case in 2012.
