JaJ_D writes "According to the BBC the WikiLeaks site has been temporary shutdown owing to financial problems.
Apparently "Its running costs including staff payments are $600,000 (£377,000), but so far this year it has raised just $130,000 (£81,000)."
I wonder who will be glad about this and who will be sad?"

JaJ_D writes "According to Paul Kidby's website, Terry Pratchet has been diagonsed with early onset Alzheimer's.
From the site:
would have liked to keep this one quiet for a little while, but because of upcoming conventions and of course the need to keep my publishers informed, it seems to me unfair to withhold the news. I have been diagnosed with a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer's, which lay behind this year's phantom "stroke".

JaJ_D writes "Following the recent coverage on slashdot on the subject of global warming (and other issues like renuable energy), there are plans to build the worlds largest off shore Wind Farm off the coast of North Devon .
Currently the worlds largest off shore wind farm (London Array, which should generate enough energy to power a quarter of the homes in Greater London) is being constructed and the company who was initial involved in the London Array (Farm Energy) is also involved in this project.
According to the report "....it could be powering more than 1,000,000 homes by 2018", which would be enough to power all the homes in Devon (as well as some in Cornwall)."
