Geoff Chambers has a blog

Also new in the blogroll is the blog of regular BH commenter Geoff Chambers. Do take a look at his most recent post.

 “It’s … not … sustainable …” He gasped, emitting CO2 in short hot pants. 

With a final groan he rolled over, and stared blankly at the ceiling. 

“Darling, must you wear those when we make love? A little cross dressing is one thing, but pink frills – it’s so kitsch”.

“They belonged to my mother. She taught me to recycle everything”.

“Well you’d better not wear them to the Television studio. And for Gaia’s sake don’t say anything bad about  Green”.

Thomas grunted. He’d wear what he bloody well like. Who would know, under his designer jeans?  No-one, except that cute little assistant personal assistant’s assistant of Paxo’s, if he got the chance, after the interview.

Tip drive

This seems like a good time for a tip drive - I haven't had one for a while. Help keep the BH show on the road using the tip jar on the right, or better still by hitting the subscribe button.

Comments

The comments threads are getting very heated and rude again. Could everyone try to keep their contributions polite.

Cryptic

Something interesting going on at WUWT...

Back

I'm back from a week at the seaside. Fortunately the weather was not conducive to sitting at the beach, so we opted for sport and culture instead. Much more up my street.

Light posting

There will be blog silence for a few days (unless anything exciting happens).

Light posting

I'm busy over the weekend, so posting will be light-to-nonexistent.

Last post

I briefly had an article up here, which a couple of commenters suggested was unwise to post. On reflection I agree, and accordingly I've removed it.

Keep calm

The comments threads are getting completely out of order again. Please could everyone take a deep breath and calm down. There are plenty of other venues if you want to vent your fury.

Quiet

I'm off to St Andrews in an hour or so. Blogging will therefore not happen today.

Back tomorrow.

Behind the scenes at Skeptical Science

Apparently someone has obtained a behind-the-scenes look at Skeptical Science. There was apparently a security hole in their internal forum.

Details here.

Black's Whitewash

BBC watchers might be interested in a new blog called Black's Whitewash, focusing on the activities of BH favourite, Richard Black.

Usernames

If you are concerned about privacy or your identity you should ensure that you register with a pseudonym as user name rather than your real name. Although there is a display name, the username can still be seen in various places on the system.

If you want me to change your username, let me know by email.

Commenting, captcha and coming onboard

The irritations of comment moderation and captcha should, I hope, now be a thing of the past. It is now possible to register as a commenter on the site, enabling you to bypass captcha and moderation. If you are already a subscriber, your existing membership will do this for you and you need take no further steps.

Your username can be a pseudonym if you like, and should be a pseudonym if you are concerned about privacy.

There is a registration link in the navigation bar to the right, or click here.

To log in, hit escape or use the login link in the navigation bar.

Update on Mar 2, 2012 by Bishop Hill

Dreadnought. I just replied to the email you sent, but it is bouncing. I have manually confirmed your account, so you should be able to log in now.

Busy again

Today is a busy day. I am doing a telephone interview for Australian radio this morning (for broadcast some time in the future). In the afternoon I'm giving a talk at Heriot-Watt University and then in the evening I'm going to be on a panel for a Q&A at a public meeting run by a windfarm protest group in St Andrews.

Blogging will, of necessity, be light, although I might get the chance to post odd updates during the day.
