Snow Leopard Server web server weirdnessFri Feb 26 03:09:44 2010 Been tinkering with Snow Leopard Server a bit lately, and thought I'd see what the web server's up to.

Cheers Chris.
Recent BlogsWinter Solstice Sunrise alignment at StonehengeFri Dec 23 00:25:25 2011 Blogs::Simon I'm now fairly confident that there is a deliberate Winter Solstice Sunrise alignment through Stonehenge, making use of a notch in Stone 58 to target a position on Coneybury Ridge where the sun rose in 2500BC.
Finally I'm in a position to post something that summarises how I have come to this view.

Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project - Cursus/HeelStone solstitial alignmentsSat Nov 26 16:02:42 2011 Blogs::Simon Worthy of further investigation, the Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project (which is geophysing the entire World Heritage Site in 5 years) is reported to have discovered two large pits, one near either end of the Cursus.
Apparently these pits are aligned so that as seen from the Heelstone they mark the positions of sunrise and sunset on summer solstice.
I've yet to find the precise positions of the pits reported anywhere, but the sunrise one must be some way from the eastern end because the Lockyer azimuth crosses the Cursus some 400m from the eastern terminal.
I've indicated this on the following image from Google Earth.
Samhain/Imbolc Sunrise alignment from StonehengeTue Nov 1 23:10:19 2011 Blogs::Simon That's interesting - it looks like the sunrise alignment on the Samhain (7th Nov) and Imbolc (4th Feb) cross-quarter days goes right over the site of Coneybury Henge and the round barrow cluster 500m WNW of it.
(Facebook folks click 'View original post' for the picture)
Stone 16 SpiralWed Oct 12 21:11:19 2011 Blogs::Simon Since I originally posted this pic on Facebork (where it is nigh on impossible to search for things) I thought I'd better repost it here so I've got a chance of finding it back at a later date.
Photo was taken at 9.30am on 17th September 2011.

RIP Black CatSat Sep 24 02:45:47 2011 Blogs::Bruce  With the heaviest of hearts, we had to say goodbye to Black Cat today. He had some form of growth in his airways and was starting to have had enough. The vet was wonderful and he did not suffer. I am already missing him so much that I wonder whether there may be something wrong with me. There are some photos, far too many photos possibly, here. End of an era. Goodbye my friend. Numbers of days between solstices and equinoxesTue Sep 20 23:48:55 2011 Blogs::Simon I've been meaning to do this diagram for a while, showing why equinoxes aren't halfway between solstices. Finally got round to it.
Recent OtherPicasso painting aquired during world War TwoSat Apr 10 22:37:26 2010 Forum::Picasso I received this painting from Canada's best known art collector years ago,I have all the documentation right down to a bill of sale and a signed letter on rear of painting from Picasso to his partner at the time,if you have to ask who don't bother. The painting was actually going to be burned to heat the room they lived in during the year 1902 which is when it was actually painted not 1903 as dated. The painting has a very obvious thumb print in left bottom corner which is referred to in the letter on the rear of painting as his way of marking his work.I have no interest in selling this painting and I consider it my most precious possesion.
