Summer 2009…
Its been a long time since my last post - feels like a whole life time of events have happened over the past few months. Where to start from?
Two years of living in Clapham have come to an end. Dimitris - my flat mate and good friend - has taken the leap and decided to move back to Greece, starting with the military service and moving on to finding a job and settling down. So May found me flat hunting, ending up in St. Johns Wood, a green, quiet and quite posh area of Northern London. Flat is good, slightly cheaper than Clapham, roomier but a bit more moody - the dark chocolate interior doesn't really reflect the limited london sunlight as it comes in from the windows. But you gotta love the mirrors in the bedroom and Regents park is a stone throw's away where I'm starting to become a regular!
Three strikes and you are… OUT! (Updated)
Over the past 24 hours, one piece of news seems to take the centre stage: Virgin Media to partner with BPI, the British Polyphonic Industry, to combat illegal music sharing. As the official announcement states, Virgin Media is piloting an education campaign, during which, customers found illegally distributing music will receive a notification letter from both Virgin Media and the BPI. The accounts will be identified by the BPI which in turn notifies Virgin Media that has the responsibility of distributing the notification letters. For our "piece of mind" none of the personal customer information will be disclosed to the BPI, or at least that's what the official announcement declares.
