back from the canvas


So, got a bit of a breather. Haven't had chance yet to pick up on what's been happening in Iran. It seems fronm what I've gathered so far that the power struggle amongst the ruling class is continuing unabated. I haven't yet touched base on what's actually happening on the ground. And still I have no real picture on how big a gap there is between the aspirations of the demonstrators and the intentions of the "reformers".

Meanwhile - today I've been busy finding out more about cryptography. About time, probably.

And in the Atlantic, the first named storm should be called Ana any hour now. Bill, in the background, looks nasty - possibly for Florida - in 10 days or so.
Hundreds have died in Taiwan flooding from Typhoon Morakot. Rain amounts have neared Reunion world records and there's been massive flooding.
Earthquakes shook Asia too today, promising more; and more storms killing in Japan. The planet's been quiet lately - seems that time's over. Here's more.
