Gosh

I appear to have acquired a Wikipedia page. Or had one imposed on me, I suppose. Vanity tends to the first. On the other hand, "This biographical article relating to a role-playing game designer is a stub." Well, yes. It's not very complete. Kind of a strange feeling, being a stub.

(If anyone with Wikipedia-editing habits ever wants to expand it, without engaging in the dread Original Research, I can think of a number of places to find out things about me that I've put in the public domain myself. Most of them are only slightly frivolous and not actually untrue, even.)

The NHS and care.data

A matter that may be of interest to UK readers; the NHS may be trying to pull a bit of a fast one, and make the sale or release of personal patient data - not adequately anonymised - to outside organisations look like a patient care arrangement. The name "care.data" seems to be frankly misleading. See http://www.care-data.info/ for more on this, http://brief.care-data.info/ for a shorter version, or https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14156524/caredata_trifold.pdf for an explanatory leaflet, including a form for those who want to refuse permission for their data to be released.
