I was just working on some little data provider classes in a sandbox solution. Just playing around with design patterns and I need a bit of data, nothing major. A handful of classes that can act as little databases / data sources for my sandbox. Just to make list a bit easier making lists of [...]
Or is it Climate Change?, Global Cooling maybe? Just what is causing this change? I have no idea but when its pinned squarly and exclusively on human action/inaction I’m still not convinced. In the past our atmosphere has contained far higher levels of Co2. In terms of planet wide Co2 production [...]
No not the of the smelly variety …
I’m convinced that these days here in the UK we are getting more numerous days when its extremely windy. We’re getting much more rain (last summer was almost a non event entirely due to ridiculous amounts of rain) but I certainly feel that we have more really windy [...]
This is actually pretty cool in my opinion. Someone actually placeing a cash value on some rainforest is probably a good step in the right direction for the market to actually start realise that they are in a new paradigm. The market is a subset of the environment, the environment is not a [...]
Hmm … I think this is a case of sods law.
I find the idea of earthquakes fascinating, I aways have. That pure expression of energy is something to be reckoned with, a display by nature that it really is in charge. So when I learned that the UK just had a 5.2 and [...]
This is a pretty momentus event to happen in some ways … A New Shipping route … The Northway Passage. What’s this? Its a new direct shipping route that is now completely clear of ice that connects Europe and Asia. To quote the BBC - “historically, the Northwest Passage linking the Atlantic [...]
Not very many people are aware of this issue at the moment but it’s something that needs some serious attention as far as i’m concerned.
“‘Nuke the whales” stickers have made the suffering of these animals a joke, but they are enduring a ferocious new onslaught from Naval sonars that have recently been deployed.
These sonars generate [...]
Google has offered $30,000,000 to any company that lands a robot on the Moon and starts snapping photo’s and sending data back (presumably to Google …). A five million dollar bonus is offered for a robot vehicle that discovers ice or water, that can travel further than five kilometers or captures images of space [...]
Amazing! SWCNT (single walled carbon nanotubes) are being used in the lab to combat bacteria. These technologies could one day provide the replacements for antibiotics and as far as my laymans understanding goes there wouldn’t be any way for these bacteria to combat nanotech as its the nanotubes that more or less batter [...]
Well what a funny year its been eh! Don’t know about where your at but in my locality the weather has been decidedly unsummer-like. Granted where I am we also don’t have to endure tornadoes, extreme droughts and other directly life threatening weather systems but even so, its been an odd one.
I guess [...]
