• Worried about the cost of Directory Enquiries services? Just say no to the lot of the 118 ripoff mob and direct your enquiries to one of the following services: BT Online Directory Enquiries (up to 10 free searches per day); UKPhonebook.com (if you don't like BT); or Yell.com (for businesses only).

• In the spirit of the old International Socialists' advice (on voting Labour) I say, "Search for extraterrestrial intelligence without illusions!" To have a look at one of the best examples of resource sharing on the Internet, go to Seti@Home. It uses the BOINC infrastructure, so you can divide your processing cycles between SETI and other projects.

• If you live or work in the London Borough of Newham, you'll want to take a look at the Newham portal, which has links to all sorts of local sites and information. It's a venture resulting from the Newham Online initiative. Just for completeness, there's also Newham Council, whose site contains a local history bulletin board, amongst other things.

• The Virtual Museum of Computing is an interesting site if you like such things. Lots of good links to the history of firms, machines, components, networks, etc.

• Check out the Netskills interactive Internet training course. It's designed for the UK academic community, and it's useful even if you're not a beginner. Click here to give yourself a TONIC.

UEL internal connections:

If you've come here directly from outside, you might want to go up to the University of East London home page. Innovation Studies is now part of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Information and files relevant to specific course modules (now largely irrelevant, as most of this stuff is handled by our Virtual learning Environment, UEL Plus):

ESST

UEL is a member of the ESST consortium, which teaches and researches in the area of society, science and technology in Europe. I'm currently ESST Secretary, and UEL runs its MA in Innovation Studies as part of the ESST programme.

Networks etc:

I've set up a few links to sites relevant to research and teaching on Network Policies and Technologies (very old now).

Archive:

At University level, I used to chair the UEL Internet User Group. It ended a long time ago, but I'm keeping the link as a partial record of its activities.

The Academic Network on European Telecommunications once had its own home page, hosted at UEL. The network is defunct and the Web page is now well out of date, but I'm keeping the page for historical reasons.

[Anfieldblog, October 11]

So Liverpool want to break out of the Premier League broadcast rights agreement and sell their own airtime. This could turn into a long and bitter battle with most of the other clubs. Is it selfish? Yes - but isn't it exactly what the Premier League did to the other divisions of the Football League back in 1992?
