What it says on the tin. Sadly, I can’t promise anything like Sadly, No! and their superb blogging from CPAC. However, anyone who wants to meet me can import this vCalendar file.
Read More Off to 3GSM Mobile World CongressLooming war over water between Georgia and Tennessee? Note to self; charter Ilyushin-76, sell arms to both sides, make a fortune. Relatedly, over at my new favourite blog, they’re discussing driving 400 kilometres a day across the savannah in your Land Cruiser and a mystery delivery in a whole Antonov-124…or possibly even an An-225? It’s…
Read More Test The Theory!So Gates has been doing the rounds of EU capitals, looking for more troops (and money) for Afghanistan. He didn’t get very far; although Germany did agree to find half a battalion of light infantry as a quick-reaction force for the northern zone, this just relieves a Norwegian force that is currently doing the job.…
Read More Why Your Allies Won’t Have War With YouWell, I didn’t get up in time to watch the lost spy satellite hurtling across the southwestern sky; it didn’t matter as it was ten-tenths overcast. But about 1940 on the 21st? If the skies are clear, I’ll be out there; it should reach its maximum altitude at 78 degrees over the horizon, coming from…

There has been a mass of blogfroth about this, but I’m quite surprised by the degree of mis- or possibly dis-information that is circulating.

Read More PIERussians! Russian air force out again, in some strength; and exercising a whole range of types, including the White Swan…sorry…Tu-160 BLACKJACK, BEAR, BACKFIRE, and MiG31 and Su27 fighters into the bargain, to say nothing of jet tankers. For people who aren’t making a political point, they certainly look like it. Meanwhile, the French Air Force…
Read More The King called up his jet pilots; he said you’d better earn your payMore of a note than anything else, but yesterday was kick-off day for Rugby League; Keighley were off to Whitehaven today in the Northern Rail Cup, which sounds like it’s going to be colder than cold and proverbially long. I’ve noticed some reasonable blogs around: Treiziste Diary, Times Online RL, TGG. Though how anyone could…
Read More Blogging Rugby League; Big KickoffLiberal health policy. Apparently there’s to be a blogger Q&A about this on Tuesday; it looks roughly OK to me, although I’d like to see us offering something genuinely radical like converting some trusts into co-ops. Interesting question; how could that interwork with Clegg’s elected health boards?
