Blog Roll

If anyone is wondering I’ve decided to get rid of my blog roll. I don’t update it and I tend to manage the blogs I read via RSS or Atom it makes life somewhat easier. It is with this in mind that I’ve decided to remove my blog roll.

Environmental thought for the day

There is a lot of talk at the moment about the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and governments arguing over whether it’s man made or not. This argument is gaining acceptance but it is by no means universal.

Lets just pause for a few moments and think about this slightly differently. That atmospheric CO2 is increasing is an incontrovertible fact. There is also a very strong correlation between temperature and atmospheric CO2 as this graph shows (this graph also indicates the current levels of CO2 which is horrifying). So irrespective of what people think there is going to be a significant temperature rise so instead of whinging about who’s fault it is we should just accept the facts and try and reduce the amount of CO2 that is being pumped into the atmosphere.

Note to self

Change gtk_key_theme to Emacs to get ctrl-U to work in GNOME. It seems that you can also use .gtkrc but I need to do more research on that.
Does that count as a blog post?

It’s been a while

Well as you can see this is my first post for a while. The last few months have been fairly hectic, we’ve had friends over from the UK and New Zealand and my life at work has been an utter, utter nightmare. Suffice to say that I have left that company.

But in reality these are just excuses. So I’m aiming to update my blog at least once a week from now on. In my first post I said that I was starting a blog so that I write more, which lets face it hasn’t really happened so this is it, I going to be updating my blog much more often.
