Reflections on Day 5 of COPA v Wright, the identity issue. Anyone else feel like this just gets worse and worse for Wright every day? Today he accused Bird & Bird of having hacked him, or that Christen Ager-Hanssen had used their weakly secured Wi-Fi to hack him. It was so bad that he had to retract it after a pause. Doesn't matter because Christen Ager-Hanssen can always be blamed instead, and he was – again and again. And again. Waiving of privilege was another recurring topic today. I almost felt bad for Grabiner, who had to protect his "vulnerable witness", saying he's "not quite sure he knows what he's doing". He kept saying that "sometimes the documents speak for themselves", asking that COPA please not ask him about every little thing. It was hard not to think of the "he's already dead" meme – he's all but saying that Wright is doing catastrophically. I just can't understand that a merited and highly decorated barrister like 78-year-old Grabiner wants to complete his career with such a joke of a client that Wright is. Wright's lies continue to be of another realm, far away the land of the believable. My favorite today was the anachronisms in "his" C++ code. How could he have used std:chrono in 2007 (or so) when it only came out in 2011, as part of C++ 11? Oh, it wasn't the C++ 11 feature, see, he worked on Project Chrono and they put everything in the std namespace, see. He actually found a real project by that name, but their code is of course not structured like that – it wouldn't even be valid. He also triggered my "that guy can't code" spidey-sense several times. He says "object orientated" instead of "object oriented", "Object C" instead of Objective-C, and of course he pronounces the X in LaTeX. I bet he says "authentificated" too. That guy can't code. And of course, he doesn't copy from ChatGPT, ChatGPT copies from HIM! The brazenness. I have to hand it to Stefan Matthews – when he said they were heading into a train wreck, he was completely right. I'm going to enjoy a weekend in London and let my keyboard cool down. See you on Monday!
