Here you go:

@iainbanks Ecstatic to find one of your books in a Cambodia shop today, but sadly, it was a photocopy (these are common). How can I pay you?

Here’s the tweet I would have sent Mr. Banks today had he been a Twitter user:

@iainmbanks I was ecstatic to find one of your books in a shop in Cambodia today, but sadly, it was a photocopy (these are common). How can I reimburse you?

It might not be 140 characters (this comment box isn’t twitter), but this is actually the reason I found this page.

And I really do value his work enough to send this tweet.

No Jani, thank you! I’ll be interested to hear if that results in any pictures becoming -open-licensed.

Hi Andy. I was wondering if you have set a license for your blog. I’m thinking of republishing this post in Finnish (after translating it myself), but I wouldn’t want to break any terms you may have set. You have good points I’d like to raise with local decision makers if I get the chance.

[...] Andy’s pitch for this session was how local government – particularly galleries, libraries, archives and museums – can make use of Wikipedia volunteers. I only managed to take a few notes during this session (I confess, I was trying out the Wikipedia iPhone app Andy demonstrated early on). A few of the points I did manage to write down: The QRpedia project is about ‘the things’ in museums and galleries. Basically, by using QR Codes visitors can be delivered a Wikipedia article on an item in the language of their choosing. I won’t attempt to explain it fully as I wouldn’t do justice to it.
