One Small Step for Man, one Giant Leap For Mankind When Armstrong said those words (except I missed out the ‘a’), it looked like men & women would be walking tall on all sorts of astronomical bodies in a continuation of the Apollo programme. As we no know, things didn’t quite work out like that [...]

Introduction I got a ping this morning from a website called cleanup-registry.net It arrived because I’d been referenced as a website in the network setup using the plugin, “Related Websites” by the Blog Traffic Exchange (actually, it may be time to knock this experiment on the head as generally, the sites are only loosely related [...]

I remember an old Tommy Cooper gag that went something like this; I went to the doctor and said, “Doctor, doctor. It hurts when I do this” (Cooper raises his knee upwards to demonstrate) The doctor said, “Well don’t do it, then“ The point is that it’s exactly like our prolific consumption of carbon-based fuels, [...]

WordPress User Registration Spam Last year I told how I tackled various sorts of spam hitting the website, in particular, in this post, User Registration Spam. Even now, my main defence is SABRE, although I don’t use all the options. This gives me the combination of flexibility, security and openness I require on this website. [...]

A quick merge of video and a vinyl rip of some Crawling Chaos music as an experiment. The clicks etc have been emphasised and the equalisation of the track has also been altered to emphasize the monochrome nature of violent history. ‘Enjoy’ is probably an inappropriate word. All pictures taken from the web. (SP) Music: [...]

Introduction I’m a born twiddler. Even though something works quite happily, I’ll try something else. So it was yesterday. In an effort to improve the ‘user experience’ and promote a bit of feedback on this website, I’ve been twiddling with various plugins. Caching for Speed Some time ago I changed caching methods from Donncha’s WP [...]

The news that not only have Facebook users suffered another viral surge (previous virus report on koobface here) but also, that their data might be used forever in howsoever the sweet faced bloke in the photie wants should scare them all a bit, I’d have thought. The fact that he’s said that the data is [...]

There is a saying of the Buddhist monk Nichiren Daishonin, that Winter Always Turns to Spring Those who believe in the Lotus Sutra are as if in winter, but winter always turns to spring. Never, from ancient times on, has anyone heard or seen of winter turning back to autumn. Nor have we ever heard [...]

Garrett Lisi’s Campervan Theory of Everything I love the way he’s freed his life of encumberances to allow himself time to think…. Garrett’s mind seems to hinge on symmetries and the resolution of everything into clearly recognisable patterns, which, as he states with his Galileo reference, harks back to earlier times and theories. He’s wrapped [...]

Following on from my earlier experiment with “The Complainerator“, I got a very similar message from myself to myself again… It’s the address I used to dig into XIN NET, whose automated systems now seem to think I really, really need some drugs from a Canadian (United Kingdom for me) Pharmacy.
