White Pupils do Worse

In British schools now British white pupils do worse than ethnic minority pupils.
Why are we scared to say it? White pupils are lazy and dumb and see themselves inheriting their parents house and becoming reality TV stars or winning the lottery. Why should they try?

Eyesight Failing

I went for an eyesight test three weeks ago. They took a retina scan and saw large white patches indicating failing eyesight. My eyesight is now below the legal standard required to drive. I never really liked driving anyway and have returned to using my bike. Failing eyesight at 48? A real shocker.

Thought for Today

Being powerful does not protect you from being wring.
And being string does not prevent you being stupid.

Have I Fixed It?

Since last Thursday the server has been overloaded and the website down for a great part of the day. I have upgraded the server, put in a lot more server security features and increased the level of caching at the system level.
Each of these worked for maybe half an hour. Now I have increased the php memory limit to a whopping 1 GB, and at the moment it seems ok.

We Overloaded the Server

We have outgrown a dedicated server with two quad core processors and 4GB of RAM after getting 10,000 visitors a day.
This week I will upgrade the server to a full 16GB RAM. I think this will probably be able to keep the site loading fast for a couple of years.
Pity those people whose websites will never overload their servers.

When Taking an Exam

Always get the lowest score and the highest score of all the candidates.
The lowest mark is something to laugh at and the highest is something to aim for.

Professor Exposed as Porn Star!

Pun intended.
A Professor of Chemistry at Manchester University has been exposed as a porn star and has resigned from the University of Manchester.
I wonder how many people in public life are leading a seedy double existence.
Maybe we should speculate on what alter ego public figures might be doing as their other self.
Of course people in public life probably think themselves down to something most people would not want to watch. Undermenschen like live on Walter Mitty daydreams.
Which of us is worse? The Professor who can get it? or the dregs who can only dream?

The Perfect Website

I have spent eight years trying to build myself the perfect website and I am probably near technically as I can be.
Everything works. Users can take online test, post comments by answering caotcha questions or register and log in to avoid the captcha, I have a smart search feature, and I now have email.
The one thing I don’t have and choose is ssl, which would encrypt all interaction with the site.

Drop in Teenage Pregnancies Not So Good News

Many people will think that teenage pregnancy rates having halved since 1999 is good news. Actually it is not so good. People are having less babies and teenage pregnancy rate is indicative of that.
The rate at which people are having babies in the west is not enough to maintain the population. The human race could be extinct within a few tens of thousands of years.
