UK riots: David Cameron announces his prescription →
The scary part of this: * Communication networks: They will be closed down (presumably on a localised basis) where there are suspicions that they are being used to faciliate criminal activity. For some reason, this sounds a lot like the actions of the folks in the middle-east during the recent uprisings.

I'm glad they told me it was oil causing the drop.
I was afraid it was new home sales dropping 12.6% in January, or new home sales dropping each year for the last 5 years, or 391,000 people filing for unemployment last week, or Detroit closing half their schools, or Providence issuing pink slips to all 2,000 teachers or adding a whopping 34,000 private sector jobs in January. I am so relieved it is only oil prices.

Fairview Fire Department Web Page Updated →
After a bit of ASCII neglect, I’ve moved the Fairview Fire Department over to Tumblr and made a few edits. Hopefully I’ll be able to get everything working the way I want it to without having to revert to a “Content Management System” — Ugh.

Lift and separate in the living room!
Just finished installing my front surround speakers at the upper corners of the living room. Now I have more than 6’ of separation between right and left front. Now, to watch something that will actually prove that the climbing, drilling, taping and stringing was worth while.

Moving to tumblr...
You may have noticed… I’ve moved from the old “alan.clegg.com” blog to using tumblr. I’m tired of doing my own administration — in the old days, it was fun to install applications, follow updates, keep things working… and then things got complex. Database back-ends, anti-spam code, tons of dependencies that I had to maintain if I wanted everything to...

“Ride the Ride”
– Alan Clegg I’m trying my best to change my attitude on life. During a recent plane trip from Boston to Raleigh (American Eagle RJ), we hit some pretty harsh turbulence.  I was in the bulkhead seat on the 2-seat side (3B I seem to remember) and could do nothing more than treat the ride as a...

Why it won't work...
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student, but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked; that no one would be poor, and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism.” All grades would be averaged, and everyone...
