Thanks Enco, glad to be finished that project. Taking tomorrow off and will go for a 6 hour walktrek….here.

Yes, I have seen Yarvin’s name crop up in a few articles recently. He thinks Trump is not killing democracy quickly enough and if MAGA loses the Senate  it will herald the end of the Trump administration which will “wither and ev…[Read more]

Yes PopeBeanie, it is brilliant. It is more of a paradigm shift (Kuhn) than a  evolution in medical science. All future developments will be at the micro and atomic level. Better living through Science!

I am not worried by A.I. in the workforce. Too many companies are in a hurry to integrate AI into their core systems and very few I deal with have any idea how a basic network operates, let alone an A.I. system. Many of my clients work in the Architectural and Engineering sector and are required to submit online tenders for government projects. I…[Read more]

Yay!! Thanks, Reg!!

Have a great week everyone!

I got called into work last weekend to solve an emergency in a hospital IT system. Luckily it was a holiday weekend so I managed to get systems up and running again, 2 hours before the first scheduled operation.

But surely the point is, even if we don’t move in space, we still move past the time coordinates (at the speed of light).  What makes this happen?

Thanks, Reg 🙂

A person has dignity, legal protection, bodily safety, freedom of conscience, and freedom of expression. A belief has no skin to bruise, no liberty to imprison, no mouth to silence, and no claim to immunity from scrutiny.

You have rights; your beliefs do not.

Jake, I don’t think it’s particularly scary.

We have been becoming more and more visible via electronic mechanisms over the years, and eventually we will have to learn to live with this. Tin foil hats probably won’t help. So it’s futile to knee jerk against this kind of usage of WiFi, because it’s coming. Writing laws prohibiting things don’t act…[Read more]

The war with Iran is the next stage of Israel’s post–October 7 strategy. They have dealt with the immediate perpetrators and neighboring proxy fronts . But chopping off their head is not enough. Now they are dealing the Iranian state infrastructure that supports, arms, funds and coordinates much of the wider terror network. ‘Netty’ said that Ham…[Read more]

One has to have a plan in order to know when the objectives are reached.

Make me an omelette of those, Reg and I’ll come visit you!

I think “mushrooms…and…blue cheese vodka”…have much to answer for 🙂
