This place is becoming rather malty-culti now, isn't it?

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

Well, I've picked up the neww car. It's very nice but any plans I might have had to go for a drive have been thwarted by the weather. It just ain't nice enough to drive around.

So, I'm burning CDs for the CD player.

Need to stop posting diaries.  Every time I do the entire world crashes in, burying me under 16 tons of "MUST do NOW!  MUST do NOW!"

Ever since I learnt about confirmation bias I've started seeing it everywhere

Good to know that blogging can help make improvements.

School dinner blogger Martha Payne explains it has led to 'big improvements' in the meals - Telegraph

A nine-year-old whose internet postings about her school dinners became an international hit said the meals have shown a "big improvement" since she started the blog.

Martha Payne has built up an audience of more than six million people after she started posting pictures and marking her meals out of 10 last month.

Her popularity was helped when the local council banned the blog, claiming that it could lead to some of the catering company's staff losing their jobs.

A lady carrying a baby just walked by my window holding an umbrella for protection from the sun. Which makes perfect sense, since it's the summer solstice and almost noon by local time, which means the sun is as close to directly overhead as it gets. But it's a rare sight around here...

Another visit to C-Power, the Belgian project on which I've worked over the past 5-6 years. Construction is well under way, with 22 new turbines having been installed recently and currently being commissioned.

On the picture, you can see one of the new vessels recently brought into service specifically to work for the industry - a self-propelled jack up with specific storage and crane capacity. When we visited, it was not working as it was getting ready for some storms announced for later in the day. It can install a turbine in 22 hours once in place (it carries the full kit - the tower, nacelle and rotor in one piece)

Or John Baptist Nativity as the church tried to convert it to. That did not bite here.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

If you have two different groups of people, with about ten in each, one of which all scores above a certain score, the other group all scores below the same score, looking at it by eye it seems obvious that there's a difference,  but is there a simple statistical test that anyone can point me at to show im not talking from my ass If I were to say as such?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
