Twenty years ago this month I started planning with others how to join-in with the Seattle WTO Conference protests, on-line! The result was the electrohippies virtual sit-in where thousands of people from around the world helped jam their servers... legally!

To celebrate, here'a little 'blast form the past' in the run-up to this November's anniversary; the time when the Beeb dared to put me on Newsnight (Channel 4 didn't until after the event).
