Hi all

I see the sun has gone back to being a blank disc in white light, according to my observations there has been no activity since 24th April, admittably there are gaps, but I would have expected to see something, I wait in hope.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .

I usually play the belief card that if there is nothing to see, then something big is brewing under the surface and is just temporarily trapped... I live in hope.

Low solar activity supposedly helps NLCs, most situations have an upside.
