End Games, by Michael Dibden – This will be the very last story of Italian detective Aurelio Zen, since the sad demise of the author just after it was published. Conspiracy and murder in Calabria, would be good holiday reading if you’re down that way.
Spooks, Series three – Improbable, but gripping. In one episode the team resort to torture, with much angst and self justification, which seems unlikely. Surely they’d just ship them off to one of our less squeamish ‘allies’?
Some good ideas for designing systems (computer or otherwise) to reduce the number of errors users make.
An oil-industry insider’s view on Peak Oil, suggesting that the recent collapse in oil prices is just a short term reaction to general market collapse, and that fundamentals of supply and demand mean that it must rise again soon. You need to go to the last slide to see a very surprising conclusion from a Houston-based oil analyst!
