The atlantic winds are no longer blowing in warm air so we look like getting some cold weather over the next few days.

After the recent hot weather cooler weather is on the way.

There seems to be a lot of DDOS going on in various places tonight. I wonder if it has anything to do with Halloween.

Could be the hobgoblins trying to get web access.

So according to some scientists the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the future is trying to shut itself down by sending back a ripple in time.  Apparently an experiment at the LHC will go horribly wrong and the existence of the Universe is threatened. So the LHC sends a ripple back in time to stop the experiment from ever happening.

The suggestion is that the Higgs Boson is such a bad thing that it’s creation cannot be allowed.

The ripple back in time has been likened to someone travelling back in time and killing their grandfather. But that would create a paradox so it’s more like  someone travelling back in time and saving their grandfather.

@dhstatus Is the status page stuck?

• Server power died. I was told not to do a remote boot but I couldn't resist. There was this button saying 'Boot Me. You know you want to…' #
• Time to walk the dog. Hope it's warm outside. #
• No wifi in the fields. #
• Back from walkies. Dog wants to go round again! #
• Got to send a fax now. Haven't sent a fax in ages. Hope I can remember how to do it. I'll never find the instruction manual. #
• I bet I put it in the fax machine the wrong way and send a load of blank pages. #

Fax sent okay although it could have ended up anywhere.
