A hello to a new year

It has been a while hasn't it?

The wheel continues to turn. I've added a new woonderful lifetime experience called a daughter and am still figuring out how to get rid of the pouch that I still carry around (while still delighting in eating the cake). I had been warned though. It would be tough. Tougher than open data in Malaysia? I'd like to think so.

I've been under house arrest. And enjoying it. I am mother first now, which I love, but there is a niggling aching feeling that I am slowly missing life on the fabulous lane of trying the near impossible. Giving public data to the world.

What is public data though? Who determines what data goes public? Is it all in the hands of the supposed shadowy hands of the government?
