* We don't have a del.icio.us plugin here, so I have to link to my links.

* We don't have a "currently reading"/Amazon plugin here either, like many other blogs have. So I have to write down manually the list of books lying besides our bed, halfway read:

Lovink, Geert: Uncanny Networks
Finally reading one his books after having heard him talk at VIPER.

Fröhlich-Bleuler, Gianni: Softwareverträge: System-, Software-Lizenz- und Software-Pflegevertrag
I finally should be able to feel more sure in those legal matters. Now Rachel bought this book, which seems to be pretty good.

Thommen, Jean-Paul: Managementorientierte Betriebswirtschaftslehre
Currently I'm reading about org-chart (will have to write a software for generating such in PHP) and about knowledge management (got another little consulting mandate in that area). Not my book, either. :)

Schneier, Bruce: Applied Cryptography
Finally something technical again.. I guess I'd better be ready to eventually apply those techniques when starting with my semantic-web-trust work.

Comments on these books might follow when they're read.
If you have comments or want to suggest related reading or good alternatives: please post a little comment!

Si Yuill's presentation at VIPER imho was one of the very highlights of the VIPER conference, the slides of his talk "Games for Hackers and Non-Hackers" are online now. He did not only talk about his project spring_alpha, but also a lot about its context and the intellectual framework dealing with social reality and norms, the role of software and, I quote, game development as critical enquiry. He was referring to "Computer Science and Law" by Bryan Niblett, I'll have to go fetch that one at the Basel library later this week.
