You may have noticed that the site was down a few days ago. This was due to a hotlink that, after 89,000 hits, drained my bandwidth and left it exhausted in a ditch. My woeful ignorance of these matters necessitated a day off work and a great to-ing and fro-ing of e-mails whilst I figured out what was happening and sorted it. The website's owner apologised and I guess no harm was done. I even learned something.

Website discombobulation

APOLOGIES for the main website being currently down. The server says that the bandwidth has been exceeded but the traffic counter says that's complete bollocks because only myself and the cat have visited all week - so I'm in the dark untill the Sherrif comes to my rescue.
In the meantime, talk amongst yourselves...

The UK government's adaptation report admits that we've done bugger all to prepare for what's to come, offers no investment to do so now, and suggests that those who can profit where they can. Maybe they're aiming for some Mafia investment.

Conflicts of Interests

Military think-tanks are considering the likely consequences of peak oil and climate change, and adjusting their projections, as issues like water and land begin to take up ever more of the centre stage.

Having just noticed the date, I should add - although it should go without saying - that it is violence, the habit of violence, and the rush to violence for gain, that concerns us. I include economic violence here. It makes no odds whether it comes from individuals, governments or would-be governments. It is madness to suppose that an idea can be beaten into a human head, or liberty or divinity imposed at the point of a gun, so we must assume that those who put the innocent in harm's way have darker and more utilitarian motives. Blair, Bush and Bin Laden all piss in the same Machiavellian pot, and conceal themselves behind the same veils of religious exceptionalism. In the critical times ahead those habits would be suicidal.

A matter of scale
