Ten to fifteen times a day, seven days a week, I receive a mail from my server – where this small blog is hosted – warning me that someone, somewhere, is trying to break into my system and take over what I have built during the last few years. I could, perhaps, feel a certain level of pride that my server, out of all the servers in the worl…

Dampening the Hacker’s Fire

A dirty dull red fire hydrant surrounded by fallen leaves, brambles and with a carefully tended green bush to one side. On the main roadway to the Kreishaus in Osterholz-Scharmbeck.

Every city is different, not just from its historical origins, but also the very manner in which it presents itself to the world. The people within are different too: subtle changes in fashion; accents and regional dialects; awareness of local history; acceptance of outsiders. The list might go on for several pages, if we put our minds to it, and…

When I visit a new town or city, I tend to spend hours just wandering round the streets randomly, looking at the people, the shops, the architecture, the little things which come together to make a community within a city centre. I note the people standing in front of churches and museums, town halls, ornate buildings with a long history which contribute to the wh…

The season has hardly begun, and in some areas the snow has barely melted from the roads, but the first motorcyclists are venturing out, letting the breeze blow – symbolically – through their hair as they blow the cobwebs off winter-stored bikes and warm leathers. I sit, almost every working day, in my commuter train and dream of places further afield, of packing a small bag with t…

The Urge to Travel

A black and white photograph of a main train station, with railway lines, masts wires and various lights forming a barrier to seeing further. In the distance there are several parked trains, and a single train is pulling slowly into the station alongside a concrete platform.

For reasons not entirely beyond my control (I left my keys in the office) I will be going out tonight (theatre in Berne) wearing trousers.

Pressing them, I realised I bought these trousers, very much against my will, to attend Regimental Mess dinners, shortly before changing assignments. Thirty-five years ago.

They still hold a good crease, where I only have hard-pressed wrinkles.

It is not as bad as I had expected. Ten years ago, walking out of my house in another, smaller, city on New Year’s Day, I would be confronted by the debris of celebration littering the road, the pavement, the front of my house. There would be the remains of fireworks shot into the air, or exploded at ground level; empty drinks bottles and cans (prior to them being refundable); paper and oth…

Waking To Destruction.

For all of you who can only think of #Beirut’s southern suburbs as “the stronghold of Hizbollah”, watch the food blogger Abdallah Sabra’s video on the street food and the fine people of الضاحية الجنوبية before Israel’s current onslaught: youtu.be/bIEytaOKlUQ. Afterwards read Lara Dib and Mona Harb’s excellent “Leisurely Islam” on the area’s entertainment venues. Check it out from your local library or go to Library Genesis if you must use a shadow library.
