Joomla
Created a Joomla extension the Simple Email Form which has proven to be quite popular. The project started in 2010, and is now in version 2.3. Andrew Caya has taken over as the principal maintainer.
Climate Change
What we should all be talking about right now is climate change and Global Warming. I find it personally incredible that such an obvious issue is not being discussed in the mainstream media. Finally ... a good report on this in The Economist of all places!
The evidence staring us in the face: we read about it in the news every day, but it seems that very few people are willing to connect the dots and ask the simple question: what do the out-of-control wildfires in Australia, California, Greece and Sweden(!), have in common with extended hurricane seasons, and melting ice caps? Most climate scientists give us, i.e. the human race, eleven more years before this planet becomes uninhabitable for human life. The 1% know this pretty well. They're preparing their bunkers and private armies. Also ... why do you think several billionaires are all of sudden interested in getting into outer space and Mars? Question. Think. Act!!!
Simple Things You Can Do
Apply political pressure. The current "leadership" lacks the political will to not only alleviate the effects of climate change, but to do anything other than to serve their corporate (and 1%) overlords.
- Get the phone numbers for your federal-level politicians and let them know your views
- VOTE ... yes, we all know the vote is "rigged" ... but the more people who vote, the more obvious the corruption will become
