Big brother gets worse

George Orwell's prophecies continue to play out in 2026.

Orwell's dystopian novel 1984 predicted a world where a citizen's every move, every word and every thought was controlled by the authority of "Big Brother".

As someone who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s when freedom wasn't just a word but an ideology, I cringe every time I see people handing over those freedoms to governments on some false premise such as "safety", "security" or in the name of our children.

Sadly, I must report that "won't someone think of the children" is now being used once again to allow greater intrusion by the state into people's lives -- this time in the UK (again).

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
