Twitter account suspended

Aw man. I got hacked (or something) and an obviously spam message got posted in my twitter feed. Of course, I’ve had my account suspended, pending investigation. I should be back up within a month, according to twitter. I don’t know whether the error is twitter’s or mine, but needless to say every place where I used the same password as for twitter has been changed, just in case. All in all, not as painful as it might have been, I guess!

Poster controversy

Edit 2026-07-19
As I’ve said, this represents things I was doing before my prefrontal cortex finished developing. Please keep that in mind when forming judgements.

A poster I made while I was the publicity officer of the Warwick Atheists Society recently got some coverage in The Guardian’s Comment is Free section.

The Importance of Atheism

A poster I designed for Warwick Atheists, shows the British "please throw litter in a bin" figure, but instead it's tossing various religious symbols in a bin.

A poster I designed for Warwick Atheists to advertise a series of talks promoting and exploring topics in atheism, agnosticism and antireligion. This poster got the society into some trouble.

Democracy in action

Step 1: Pick any British politician from any party.

Step 2: Listen to them talk.

Step 3: Think to yourself: Would I buy a car from them?

Step 4: Ask yourself why we’re happy with them having the positions of maximal responsibility.

Upgrade

Over the last few days there’ve been a number of occasions when I’ve thought about something, and then thought “I wanna write something about this, but it’s too long to sum up in 140 characters”. I’ve had “CaiWingfield.com” registered for a while, and had some vague nothing sitting in a WordPress framework for a while. I had fun designing some fancy AJAX site but then (as is always the way) realised that I had no actual content. So today I decided that I’d go ahead and upgrade to WordPress 2.7, clear out everything that was content-free, and start again. Here it is. I’ll probably add design back in, slowly, as it’s fun.
