Data about data about data

I'm still getting the hang of this "blog everything" approach so please bear with me.

I am sure you have come across the concept of Metadata prior to Net11 just as I have, still it's something which I felt I needed to throw into my blog for future reference. Besides the concept of data about data about data is kind of trés geek :)

What The Hell Is Wetware?

Finally completed reading the Module One intro and I cam across the the term 'wetware'. This isn't a term that I have come across before so I thought it would be good to record, and of course share.

I feel the use of the word presents an interesting point in this context as it acknowledges that the internet is not just made up of hardware and software: it also requires squishy, irrational humans to exist. Seems kinf of obvious I know, but at times I think people forget that the internet in all it's glory, still requires me and you to function.
