The country and the country

Geoff over at BLDGBLOG has a great post about how Australia’s strange bid to avoid refugees makes some islands both Australian and not Australian. These islands become strange limbo zones of tortured legality, much like in “The City and The City”.

It’s strange to see them give up sovereignty over land to avoid their own laws about providing safe harbor to refugees. It seems that the self-image of mercifulness is more valuable than the land, but less valuable than actually welcoming in refugees.

Installing the Android Developer Tools for Eclipse

If you’re trying to install the Android Developer Tools on Ubuntu and it keeps failing on a strange error:

An error occurred while installing the items
session context was:(profile=PlatformProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null –> [R]org.eclipse.ant.ui 3.4.1.v20090901_r351, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.actions.InstallBundleAction).
The artifact file for osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.ant.ui,3.4.1.v20090901_r351 was not found.

Here’s your solution:

sudo apt-get install eclipse-pde

Worked for me, found it here.

Church Music

The mighty Jeff Crouse just made us all a bunch of spacey Church Music. All the glory, but now hot and synthtastic.
Seriously – here’s a hot sample.
