Well - let's try this:

Did it work?

There was a 5% drop in temperature.

It's not a closed system! if he opens the windows at the top of the house, hotter air flows out of there and draws in cooler air through the door on the ground floor. It's a simple and well understood process, called passive ventilation, and has been employed in building design since forever.

Cras was wrong

Oh, I'm not denying the science is correct. I'm denying that the layout of the house, combined with the temperature differential, and the amount of flow, would actually produce any appreciable effect in your average house.

Wrong how exactly? I didn't dispute convection, I disputed whether Mali's house would feel any cooler.

(a) wrong because it would cool the air in the house, as it's bringing in cooler air from outside;

(b) wrong because the movement of air makes you feel cooler, even in a closed system, otherwise desk fans woudn't work; and

(c) wrong because your face.

Decided to no longer follow Guido Fawkes on Twitter. His posts have lately been annoying me greatly. Yet to decide whether to remove his tittle-tattle site from my lists of feeds on Google Reader.

Anyone campaigning to bring back hanging needs to be arrested on trumped up charges by a corrupt police officer and then hanged.

Hey, nerds.

Inspector Morse to regenerate: Oxford's murder rate to rise.

Ah ha, yes, I remember that being mentioned. Top stuff.

No, she won't do that.

She might call Craster, though, and tell him to make me stop drinking.

For enhanced cooling, switch on the air conditioning.

Remorse.

FTFM

You monster.

Oh, so electricity is OK to drive our cars but evil when used for aircon? THIS IS JUST A HYPOCRITICAL GREEN CONSPIRACY

I'm agree with this. She would never do that, it's just not her character.

Quite. And there is something contradictory about people who spend their time campaigning that the state is evil and useless trusting the same authorities to hang the right person.

I wasn't even aware that this was bubbling along in the background. I'm only pleased that it's the silly season, and those MPs making comments appear to struggle to have thoughts of their own.

Oh, very much silly season stuff (as well as attentions seeking by Paul StainesGuido). Can never happen anyway due to our treaty obligations, and would be a hell of waste of Parliamentary time.

The new Humble Indie Bundle 3 is quite excellent value now they're chucking in the previous Indie Bundle's contents if you pay "more than the current average."

I've still not even played anything out of the Indie Frozenbyte Bundle I bought. Hrm.

who hate the ECHR.

I can picture the 'retain the lack of death penalty' protests now:

'What do we want?
'The status quo'
'When do we want it?'

The more I think about the site, the more embarrassing it becomes. It's up to the business committee to decide which petitions they want to debate, and even then no motion would be binding. So, anyone signing a petition to ban Cibrushsille is going to be pissed off if the committee ignore it, or if they get a Westminster Hall debate at 4pm on a Friday afternoon.

But, still, allows us to name and shame idiots.

Parking at night.

Responsible department: Department for Transport

It should be illegal to park outside somone elses house between the hours of 7pm and 7 am

This site will keep me amused for ages. Here, my friends, is the single biggest issue facing the UK:
