Welcome to Planet Zero

Perhaps the first article on this blog should have been the welcome, but life rarely seems to proceed in an orderly fashion. So welcome to Planet Zero.

Insofar as it has a principal theme, it is likely that the theme of this blog will be something to do with environment, sustainability, and humanity's future on and stewardship of the Earth. The musings on this theme will be from someone of fundamentally technical bent—a mathematician of sorts who wants to be a scientist; a scientist of sorts who likes (or liked) writing code; a programmer of sorts, who wants to 'save the planet'. If there is an agenda, it is to encourage people to make it more likely that human life will continue indefinitely on the planet—something far from certain at this time. There is likely to be room, too, for some arts, for what, after all, are we saving the planet for, if not the finer expressions of humanity?

There's little point in pretending I will be a reliable correspondent; I am far more likely to be both infrequent and irregular. But I will try to be interesting.
