Superstorm 2005

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

Apart from a Tornado in Melborne and the recent surge in wind and rain around the world, Hurricane Wilma could collide with tropical storm Alpha, the first storm named on the greek alphabet. Let’s see how it plays out but the East Coast of the states may possibly be in for a rough one. Could the season draw to a close with such a super storm?

“Some locations in the highest elevations of West Virginia and across southern New York state and New England will receive in excess of a foot of snow … There also is the potential for extensive wind damage. Wind will gust to 70 mph” Source

Could the end of Wilma hit the UK or Spain over the weekend?

“I was looking at the pressure system charts and Wilma is edging up the coast of the U.S.A before crossing the atlantic heading towards spain area before edging north to southern Ireland and England on Saturday.” Source

70 MPH Winds Sweep Through Britain

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

It has been windy and continues to be:

“Flood warnings are in place across Britain after heavy rain and 70mph winds swept across the country. Homes and shops in Plymouth and Cornwall have been flooded and there are warnings of further bad weather. The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning in England and Wales.” Source

Wilma : Growing Concern Over Chemtrails

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

I’m not stating truth, just observation, so take this with the biggest vat of salt you can find! Wilma just became a Cat5 hurricane overnight. People close to hurricane Wilma’s track are reporting huge white trails left hanging in the sky.

Now could this be an atempt to steer a huricane as crazy as it sounds, it’s the first such storm where I have seen people reporting Chemtrails before a hurricane. Search around for “Wilma Chemtrails” and you’ll find discussion about it on the net, also some people are noting almost censorship of satelite images. There is an extreme POV that states that weather modification is a war between Russia, China, Japan and the USA … and yeah that is highly unlikely but is another crazy way of coming to terms with the fact that our climate is supposed to change and suprise us, look back at history and find evidence that global warming has always been around..

So yeah Chemtrails. Basically contrails are the trails left hanging in the sky from comercial jet flights, they usually don’t hang around all day, fact. What isn’t yet fact and is up for much debate and sounding as crazy as the whole UFO thing is something called chemtrails, which are sprays from jet flights that cause clouds to form. Chemtrails hang around all day and spread over the sky to form fluffy white sheets of cloud.

The US Govt. have an active weather modification programme underway, hollywood made a film about it that was shown in the UK only last night. The fear is that chemtrails induce all kinds of health issues when toxic metals used to form clouds drop to the ground, originally a technique used to stave off the oldest joke in the book : global warming.

Wilma : Most Intense Atlantic Storm Ever

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

She certainly poped up from nowhere, have been watching her since the weekend out of interest, up to cat5 now, faster than Katrina, and like Katrina my hit people dense areas as a cat3 storm.

“Wilma’s top sustained winds reached 175 mph early Wednesday in the most rapid strengthening ever recorded in a hurricane, said meteorologist Hugh Cobb of the National Hurricane Center in Miami. At the same time Tuesday, Wilma was only a tropical storm with winds of 70 mph.” Source

Microsoft is fixing CSS : gasp

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

This man is over gassped. News everyone : A whole raft of CSS hacks are about to be wiped out, oh the Jedis are going to feel this one. I must say this opens my eyes, oh the cats out of the bag now! I just brought a CSS hacks book after getting fed up with Microsofts non compliance.

Yo! What’s the dealio : * html body and html > body and many a beloved hack we all use to show different CSS to IE6 are gonna be gone in IE7. Need I say the reason for this hack in the first place was to address serious flaws in IE, so although this is gonna be painful I’m gonna have to drop hacks from my daily work in light of the future release of IE7. Let’s hope Microsoft do the right thing by the web development community and lets hope they don’t create more problems than they fix.

We get to a serious issue I highlighted ages ago .. IE7 will have very little market share, in fact Firefox may have more users than IE7 so for the next 10 years this news to the industry is almost a non-event. We are still stuck with IE6, please someone help us!

A lesson learned : Do things properly in the first place!
*eats his own words*

“We’re starting to see the first round of sites and pages breaking due to the CSS fixes we have made. We would like to ask your help in cleaning up existing CSS hacks in your pages for IE7. It is has been our policy since IE6 that under quirks doctype we will not make any behavioral changes” Source

I have to go now, to collect moon rocks …. peace Al Gore. Also you stink! I’ll give you a pear drop if you can comment using Futurama quotes only!

Melanoma airs on BBC Local radio

Sunday, October 16th, 2005

I came across this rather interesting local radio show over the weekend, The Naked Scientists.

They mentioned Melanoma to an audience ….. bravo.

DIAGNOSING SKIN CANCER WITH LIGHT

“So people have had skin cancers and it’s been overlooked? I think it’s important to say that this is something that we should be worried about right now. I think the cited figure is that there has been a 100% increase in melanoma rates in the past ten years. The whole emphasis is early diagnosis. If you have a funny looking mole that’s changing and itching, then go and see your doctor because early diagnosis is the keySource

That’s what I’m talking about, that’s hitting the nail on the head and more people need to hear it! hence the reason why my little web project that I’m working on is so important.
