DesktopBSD: A Step Towards BSD on the Desktop
DesktopBSD is a custom FreeBSD-based desktop focussed on stability, usability and simplicity. In developing an easy to use desktop operating system, DesktopBSD has chosen to use KDE. Screenshots showing the desktop tools in action are available.
Their website FAQ further explains the choice of KDE:
"KDE is easy to work with and has many useful features and well-integrated components such as the PIM package (Personal Information Manager). Additionally, KDE is probably easier for people that used Windows before, but this is rather a nice side-effect than a main reason for this choice."
"Of course, there are other great desktop environments out there that are in some ways superior to KDE, but we decided to use only KDE so we can have better support for that one and have better integration of the DesktopBSD Tools with that environment."
Looks pretty good
They seem to have a good set of system tools that integrate well with KDE/Qt. I don't know though, it'd be hard for me to leave the familiar Linux kernel... but good to keep an eye on.
They certainly picked the right desktop :=)

Re: Looks pretty good
It's great to see desktop initiatives recognizing how nicely integrated and mature KDE components are. DesktopBSD (along with Linspire, Xandros, Slackware, ...) is yet another project that has chosen to rely solely on KDE for its desktop needs, and in the process has shown that it is quite practical to build a customized system using KDE.
The problem I have with BSDs in general is that they don't use a copyleft (ie. forced-sharing) license. This means that unscrupulous players like M$ can appropriate (aka leech and steal) anything they like and sell it back as proprietary, closed-source, and non-free. Such actions will ensure that proprietary software will always have an edge over free software. This in turn will reduce the incentive for people to switch to free software and consequently reduce the support that free software projects like KDE receive from the community.
By focusing on seamless integration with Linux (which is licensed under the most robust and widely-used copyleft license, the GPL), KDE will be part of a free desktop system that can not only stand its ground in the face of industry giants like M$ and Apple, but stand on the same level.

Re: Looks pretty good
How come everytime a BSD system is mentioned positively, someone always has to come along and piss all over it? It's almost like some people are so insecure with their own choices that they must denigrate those of other people.

Re: Looks pretty good
Yeah the GPL is way too restrictive IMHO.
Those are some of their goals but they don't apply in some cases.

Availability of DesktopBSD tools ?
DesktopBSD looks great ! I was wondering where does the network configuration tool come from ? Is it part of the specific DesktopBSD tools ? It looks really nice and I'd be glad to give this tool a try on Linux...
By thibs at Sat, 2005/08/13 - 5:00am
Looks extremely impressive to me. If the management tools work as well they look in the screenshots it should be incredible :)

KDE is irresistible
Now I feel like trying BSD Unix ;)

Other BSDs preferable.
Dammit. I'd like to try a modern BSD distro (tried FreeBSD years ago) but I'm on PPC these days, and FreeBSD *still* hasn't gotten around to that. I'm more interested in NetBSD's portability and OpenBSD's security anyway.
Hopefully someday we'll see the other BSDs with decent installers etc. too :)

Re: Other BSDs preferable.
> Hopefully someday we'll see the other BSDs with decent installers etc. too :)
Years ago I used FreeBSD (circa 3.x) and its installer was able to install over a PPP connection. I'd like to see a Linux distro with an installer that can do that, but haven't yet.
BTW, it ought to be possible to use debian-installer with the BSD kernels eventually:

My very first install of linux was over a ppp connection, installing an M68K port to an Atari Falcon.

Information and events here are for community documentation of server particulars, history, or opinion. Server Type: RP Opened: October 5th, 2006 Timezone: PST Population: Low Horde / Alliance: 0.41 / 1 The Blackwater Raiders, for which the realm is named, are the group of pirates led by Baron Revilgaz in Booty Bay. Contents[show] Overview Edit "The thing about BWR RP is, once you find it, it's usually very good stuff."Grywennon Windhaven of the Third Infantry Online since October 5, 2006, Blackwater Raiders is a US-based RP server with a population of approximately 5189 players (April 2011). There is an Alliance to Horde ratio of 1.8 : 1 according to present figures, but an activity ratio closer to 1.2 : 1 with peak times reaching approximately 1800 players. The server maintains US Pacific Time, or UTC -8:00 (-7:00 during Daylight Savings). Updated lists of the Alliance, Horde and the specific listing of Roleplay Guilds are maintained on the World of Warcraft Community Site and updated frequently. Guilds advertise according to their primary goal - Player Versus Player (PvP), Player Versus Environment (PvE) or Roleplay (RP). Origins Edit "I would have mentioned you, but you're no longer with us." - Bathori Blackwater Raiders is a roleplay server that went live two years after Warcraft's release in November, 2004. The original Roleplay servers are Argent Dawn, Cenarion Circle, Earthen Ring, Feathermoon, and Silver Hand. BwR initially faced unique challenges after it was mistakenly listed as "Recommended" on both the Roleplay and PvE/Normal server lists. Community Edit "He may be under the impression that just cuz Garrosh talks to him that means he's in good with him." Tender of The Company BwR has a server population the size of a small city, just under 5200 players. With peak player populations of just 1800 in the evenings, there has not been a queue to log into the server, since the launch of Wrath of the Lich King. Because of the confusion encountered after launch, many players joined to locate friends already playing on the server, but had little if any interest in roleplay. The roleplaying atmosphere tends to be very low as a result, though many players remain respectful of roleplayers. Roleplay in major cities and across the realm can be easy to find--with some larger guilds developing exhaustive histories and lore. There are some benefits to the server's size. There are several large guilds boasting populations above three hundred, though the majority focus on raiding; many are also active in their support of world PvP, while some of the oldest continually reinforce the roleplaying environment, using the forums to supplement in-game activity and organize storylines and events. Economy Edit "I need gold, lots of gold..." - Birdi of Brotherhood of Shadow "You can never have enough gold..." - Stonedorc of End Game The server economy is very healthy, with prices for high demand items tending toward the higher end, especially end level items. Demand for items of all level, is generally healthy on both sides, and many players advertising crafting skills, at cost, for provided materials. Progression Edit "Is Lackey one rank up or one rank down from Toadie? There are protocols to observe." - Ezhra of Silence "...either way, we don't really need a progression thread..." - Jinja "Progress can either be fun or a pain, but in the end it's always fun once you down a new boss..." - Stonedorc of End Game "You ever have that feeling of accomplishment when you get that heroic boss down for the first time? Yea.. me neither. - Unstoppable of Enlightement General raid progression information can be found both on the official realm forums and Blackwater Raiders Guild Progression. Currently guild progression rankings are based on the three factors reported from the World of Warcraft Community Site: boss kills, loot awarded and achievements received. The most readily available ranking system is available from GuildOx.com. Milestones Edit "We earned our 310s, we didn't buy them." - War of Business Casual Blakdynamite was the first Illustrious Grand Master Herbalist and Alchemist, while Taraniki and Bonasus were the first to master Inscription and Engineering respectively. The first Level 85 was the warlock Aakarshan, with Heffalumps, Baldok, Nyarlathotëp and Rylden following closely as Druid, Priest, Death Knight and Rogue, respectively. In April 2011, Silence became the first Level 25 guild. Those Who Came Before Edit "Because I'm so shrouded in mystery, if you didn't know..." - Fifii "Never believe a thing Ozka says, especially when it's in purple text." - Real In the youngest days of the Blackwater Raiders, the Phalanx of Perdition started the call to honor with the challenge, "Strength and honor, warriors; hold fast, and give no quarter!" Though the call of the Phalanx has gone silent from their base in Theramore, those who remember, continue forward with honor. No one can agree with any certainty the first guild on the Blackwater Raiders, but the Ronin League, Legacy of the Storm, and Turus Thalanaar are the oldest surviving guilds on a server whose general survivability is historically poor. And while the Ronin League did depart to Sen'jin to complete end-game raiding goals not available to them on our realm at the time, they returned and reactivated their guild after a three month hiatus. While raiding guilds have come and gone, the guild Silence remains one of the most venerable, with successes spanning Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm, and a firm place as one of our top three guilds rated for overall progression in dungeons or raids. Those Who will Follow Edit "How we going to handle this? Should we set up a Blackwater Social for everyone to mingle? - Joynal of Ascension Asylum Since the launch of Wrath of the Lich King, the Roleplay community has suffered losses, with three of the largest hordeside guilds and one of the larger alliance guilds transferring to join communities on other roleplaying servers. At least three heavy raiding guilds have also exited the server in search of servers with greater progression success. The server is therefore not as competitive when compared to PvP or PvE servers in endgame content. However, small pockets of Roleplaying activity can still be found, mostly in the form of guild led weekly events. Guilds of the Blackwater Raiders Edit "Guilds are a different beast now... You could come and go before with only the loss of any items you may have deposited in the bank. Now..., you should do a little research before joining." - Ornias of Backlash, on the subject of Guild Ownership.

Back at the start of Wrath he was an officer in a lowly guild called "Last Stand" and decided it was time to move on to larger things in life. He did just that by breaking off and branching into a guild called "Enlightement" where he recruited raiders to join his ranks and progress through ICC. Enlightement held together strong through T11 in Cataclysm but after several people resigned from playing, many of us departed and switched servers, rarely contacting each other anymore. I miss the good old times with these fantastic people, and I will never forget this awesome time in WoW. Here are the names of the old core group that was progressing through this content.

Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park, Okeechobee, Florida (high 71, low 38)
Our run of hot weather is over (thank goodness). We've had afternoon temperatures in the mid 80's for the past few days, and that makes it a bit too warm for afternoon hikes.
A cold front came through last night, bringing a little rain, and now we're going to get back to high temps in the 70's. Much better! Of course it's also going to bring in some cold night time temps, so we'll have to have a little heat at night.
Our pattern while on the prairie always start out with us getting in the truck before sunrise and driving the main road in search of wildlife.
We always see deer. In fact we saw some sleeping yesterday right in the campground. No pictures since it was pretty dark.
We love watching the sun rise over the prairie. Some mornings are better than others. This one was one of the best.
The full moon is waning, but still very pretty.
If you sleep in, you miss this!
After the sun rose, we went on to discover a few more interesting things.
These deer were huge and probably the biggest deer we've seen in Florida. It was a bit foggy, so the picture wasn't great.
The Eastern Meadowlark really are active in the mornings. There were a lot of them out nearby the road, and each one singing. It's quite lovely with the early morning sun and hearing many, many Meadowlark, all singing their own little song.
Here is the infamous Ms. Hawk waiting in the exact same place for her man! She seems to know me and doesn't even bother to fly away.
A turkey vulture posing nicely.
After our morning sunrise drives, we usually take a morning hike on the prairie.
Lots of pretty flowers.
The past two nights we've had happy hour with fellow bloggers Tricia and Dan from Down the Road with T & D. They are staying here for a few days before heading over to Jonathan Dickenson State Park.
It was nice to get to know you two! See you down the road.
Our two weeks here are going by much too quickly. We both love it here and will hate to leave……except that we have a trip to the Keys to look forward to!
and to borrow a phrase from Judy.
The end.
Tricia and Dan just stopped to say good-bye on their way out and said they saw the missile launch. Cape Canaveral is not that far and with the dark prairie skies, it was very visible. Bummer…we missed it. They said it was incredible! Oh, well.

This message is mainly for Josh.
I was in Jay and Silent Bob's secret stash the other day, hoping to see one of them, turns out both of them moved out to LA. I think Jason is out there permenantly and Kevin is staying with his family for now. I know Kevin was also working on a new script.
Just thought I'd tell you cause as far as I know you're closer to LA than you are Red Bank.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
"He frowned and turned away when a blind man came his way. How do you know if (his heart) might be purified or recall (God) and by recollection be rectified? For those who are called wealthy, you attend to them closely and don't bother if they are purified! Yet from one who comes to you hopeful, fearful and clearly humble, you let your attention be shunted aside." – (Qur'an 80:1-10)
This Quranic verse, directed toward the Prophet himself (pbuh), is the harshest reminder in the revelation itself of allowing oneself to be distracted by the affairs of the world, and thereby, even momentarily, losing the insight of its true teachings of love and compassion, kindness and guidance in the worship of Allah, the One who has no partners.
It is further related that Aisha, the wife of the Prophet (pbuh), said that if any chapter of the Qur'an could be wiped out, he had wished it would be this short chapter entitled, He Frowned, that addresses him as the one who frowned and chastises him for his treatment of the blind man.
The old and feeble blind man came seeking some knowledge about the new religion of Islam, but his arrival interrupted an important meeting of Arab tribal elders, powerful and rich men, who, if they had embraced the religion, would have greatly strengthened the community, which was under constant threat.
The Prophet (pbuh) had done what almost any other leader would do in looking out for his community through practical means; he ignored the blind man and continued to talk to the powerful tribal elders.
Alhamdulillah! He admonishes even His own Prophet (pbuh) for ignoring the true seeker, for not taking a moment to answer the old blind man. Most certainly this would have been a real lesson to the tribal elders about the new religion of Islam.
Allah knows the truth.
May Allah bless us and grant us all the insight of this lesson and guide us to what is truly important in life.
Ya Haqq!

Conspiracy spin by Clint Bowyer?
- Ryan Newman lost his chance at a race win - and Chase slot - when the caution flew
- Bowyer had locked up a Chase spot before the Richmond race
RICHMOND, Va. -- As questions swirled around Clint Bowyer's late-race spin at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday night – an incident that altered the Chase for the Sprint Cup field with a caution – NASCAR said it did not believe Bowyer did anything intentional.
"Not at all," Sprint Cup Series director John Darby told USA TODAY Sports. "Although we watch it – we make a point of mentioning it in the drivers' meeting and everything – I don't think anybody realistically believes that was the case with the 15 car."
But social media was abuzz with people who believed otherwise, including Bowyer friend and country music singer Blake Shelton.
"Y'all should follow @ClintBowyer!!!" Shelton tweeted. "The definition of team player!!! #hero."
Bowyer's spin with seven laps remaining fell under scrutiny because it happened by himself – though Dale Earnhardt Jr. was in the proximity – and ultimately helped Michael Waltrip Racing teammate Martin Truex Jr. make the Chase.
"He just spun right out," Earnhardt said afterward. "That's the craziest thing I ever saw. … He was hemming around on the brakes and jerking the car around, and then the thing just spun out. It was crazy. I don't know what was going on."
Before the race, NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton warned the drivers to "keep it fair and square."
But when Bowyer spun, Ryan Newman was on his way to making the Chase instead of Truex. So too was Jeff Gordon instead of Joey Logano.
Circumstances after the spin caused both Gordon and Newman to miss the Chase. Logano and Truex ultimately made it – Truex on a tiebreaker with Newman.
Newman, who would have qualified with his second win of the season, lost the lead while pitting under caution and finished third.
"If we were a championship-contending team, we needed a championship-contending pit crew, and we didn't have one tonight," Newman said.
Audio replayed by ESPN after the race had spotter Brett Griffin telling Bowyer the circumstances of the race, followed by two odd comments from crew chief Brian Pattie:
"Is your arm starting to hurt?" Pattie said. "I bet it's getting hot in there. Itch it."
Bowyer then spun out.
"I think we had something going wrong," Bowyer said after the race. "I had so much wheel, by the time I got to the gas, he was underneath me. I spun out.
"I know it's a lot of fun for you guys to write a lot of wacky things. Go ahead if you want to. Get creative. But don't look too much into it."
Neither Newman nor Gordon would speculate on the cause of the spin.
"I don't have a TV inside my car," Newman snapped, then said, "You think?" when asked if an intentional spin would upset him.
"I'm not speculating," Gordon said with fire in his eyes. "Why should I comment on speculation? I don't know the facts until Bowyer tells me he did that. Then we can discuss that."
Team owner Michael Waltrip told USA TODAY Sports he was unaware of any funny business.
"I don't know," he said. "I didn't hear any … I was busy monitoring who was doing what. I mean, I don't think Bowyer spun on purpose. But I don't know."
Would it be OK with Waltrip if Bowyer's spin was intentional?
"I don't like to do what-ifs," he said. "We're just really grateful that we got two of our cars in the Chase. It would be a real bummer if our young organization only got one in and not the other."
NASCAR.com reporter Alan Cavanna tweeted that Waltrip walked up to Truex on pit road and told the driver, "You've got awesome teammates."
NASCAR, though, will likely not penalize Bowyer even if it comes to believe the spin was intentional.
"For one, you'd have to be doggone sure that's what happened if you ever tried to react to it," Darby said. "Each individual team has enough stake in making the Chase that I don't think any of them are willing to risk that.
"… Spinning out or (Jimmie Johnson) hitting the wall to help (Gordon), all of that stuff is pretty far-fetched."
In 2004, NASCAR said it would not penalize Earnhardt for an intentional spin at Bristol. But after the driver admitted it, NASCAR re-opened the issue and issued a 25-point penalty.

Could be anything really.
Second week in Tjuntjuntjara – More country and taking stock
After the first week of big things happening one day after the next, the second week has been more about slowing down and taking stock.
A few things had been getting me down.
Even though the role I'm effectively standing in for is fairly clearly defined, my role as a stand in for that person is not. That has left me scratching around for work to do at times which is not a nice feeling. To not have work when you're supposed to be working feels worse that not having a job at all.
And my mind was naturally inclining towards all the problems here in the community and trying to come to grips with them. The place looks like a dump, hygiene is really poor, as is diet and there appears to be a general apathy which hangs like an oppressive cloud over the entire place. Essentially it's the apathy which I feel to be the problem and I'm baffled that more hasn't been done to address it.
In my role as relief Community Development Employment Project officer, I may actually be able to do something to get the place cleaned up a bit, by allocating clean up tasks to be jobs. However I am warned that there is considerable resistance to boring clean up jobs, understandably. Since it's really a cultural issue anyway, that is the area that I am most interested in affecting anyway, rather than applying a band-aid to a continuing problem. I'd like to figure out if or how the community people themselves want to change things and then help them achieve that.
I'll see what scope I have to do some comprehensive community consultation and see where that leads. I think I'd really appreciate that process actually.
Those issues had be a bit down for a while.
On the up side, I went out to the local salt lakes about 15kms north on the weekend and was touched by the simple beauty of relatively untouched land and the profound silence out there. Only some birds and some wind make sounds out there and they add to the silence rather than detracting from it somehow.
My mind stretched to imagine what it would be like growing up your entire life never hearing any other sounds than that of the country, animals and a few people. And never seeing or touching anything that wasn't entirely natural and of the earth.
That's what we've lost.
I guess I had "thought" about it on many occasions in the past, but to be sitting there actually looking at and feeling the reality of the landscape and the knowledge that I was living in a community of people who actually used to do just that changed something. It's not just theory anymore. It's something that I think is incomprehensible while sitting in a technological hub like Melbourne.
Somehow, being out there on the land and appreciating it's beauty and thinking those thoughts made the problems in the community feel far less important. Perhaps it's a bit like heroin addicts letting everything else turn to shit, so long as they can have their hit. Perhaps the country is so important to the people that the crappy community is just a slight inconvenience endured for the sake of being in the land.
But I don't buy that completely. How can only the land outside the community be valued? If you love the land, how can you at the same time trash it like they do?
Nevertheless, the profound beauty of the country gave me perspective and also inspiration and I guess a cause to fight for or reason to fight.
The other awesome project going on here is the art project. Every day several old folk sit around for hours and hours and work on their paintings dot by dot by dot by dot. Brad pointed out how similar the earth actually looked to some of their art. No wonder. It's just just hanging around where they are painting. It's very peaceful. And the paintings are stunning.
So, here are a few images, mainly of the land.
Tjuntjuntjara – First week
Less than two weeks ago, out of the blue I was asked if I might want to go work in the WA desert on an aboriginal community. "Tell me more" I said. I don't get excited easily, but when it was put to me that they wanted me to fly out the following day my heart ran amok for a while. As it turned out, a week later I was on a plane.
The first flight was to Kalgoorlie via Perth and the following morning a 2.5 hr flight from Kalgoorlie to Tjuntjuntjara, in the Victoria Desert, another 700km east of Kalgoorlie. At the Perth airport it's readily apparent via the advertisements where the money is; mining. There are lots of miners at the airport, many of whom might be fly-ins, two weeks on, one week off, half of them are still or already wearing half their safety gear.
Kalgoorlie airport again is full of miners, gold around there according to the taxi driver.
The next morning, after a spa suite overnight in a hotel, the spa of which I unashamedly used considering that I was facing a few weeks of not much water at all, it's back to the airport for my flight with the mail plane (single engine, 12 seats) to Tjuntjuntjara, apparently Australia's most remote community!
I had had a brief look at a couple of websites but confess that I only read the orientation manual while waiting for the fog delayed flight out of Kalgoorlie. Only two aboriginal women, two kids and an electrician were on the flight with me.
Google Tjuntjuntjara and you'll find two or three sites. Google maps also locates it and you can zoom right in to see the airstrip and cluster of buildings that make up the community.
Eventually, after a couple of hours in the air, I was fascinated to see a straight, bare strip of land came into view ahead, the dirt airstrip of Tjuntjuntjara. A few mail bags and other items were pulled off the plane and onto a 4wd ute, someone brusquely greeted me and the sparky who was being flown in to do a day's work, and off we drove after watching the plane take off again. We drove into "town", dropped my stuff at my accommodation, and went straight to the office to drop off the loot, have a cuppa and meet Fiona, the general manager of the community (not sure of the official title, but that's what the signature on her email says).
Before I knew it we were off in the 4wd to go check out the water bores because something was wrong with the water supply system, it had stopped pumping water into the main holding tank. A serious issue when 150 people are relying on it to survive and the nearest town is hundreds of kilometers away. Fiona said if the issue was not resolved within a couple more days they would have to start planning evacuations!
Enter the engineer :) … that's me, by the way.
By checking the operation of each bore in turn I found that one of the bores was returning the compressed air used to power the bore pumps rather than the water they are supposed to pump. And since air is easier to push than water, this one faulty bore was overriding all the other bores efforts to push the water back to the main holding tank, a few kms away. So, we isolated that one bore and withing a couple of hours the water was flowing again and had saved a trip from the water service company to find this fault. Of course the faulty bore still needs to be addressed, but in the mean time the community can breathe (drink) easy. The next day I replaced a faulty safety switch which had half the office on power leads, again saving an expensive trip out by an electrician from Kalgoorlie. Chuff.
Part of my role now is the daily operations check of the water and power service. The community is powered by three diesel generators, any or all of them running non-stop according to demand. There are two 27,000 litre diesel tanks, which are filled every few weeks by tankers that presumably drive out from Kalgoorlie. The main water holding tank of roughly 100,000 litres and the header tank roughly 10 meters high and 30,000 litres are in the same fenced compound as the diesel generators a few hundred meters removed from the edge of the community, far enough away that the community itself is delightfully quiet.
I could not help think about the completely unsustainable nature of the community. The only thing not shipped in is the water and the few rabbits and kangaroos that are hunted. Everything else is flown or driven in. All the diesel, all the food, all the money. Not only that, there is no industry or livelihood here for the people in the community. There are a few odd jobs that community members do, but all the essential services are staffed by white folk. Everyone is on the dole and there is no incentive for them to work. Far out! Not only that, but the place is strewn with rubbish everywhere, not much care for the land at that level at all.
So, my problem solving mind gets busy thinking up all sorts of solutions to this and that, an experience I assume most new arrivals share. At least there is no alcohol allowed in this community and many people say that this place is better than most. After a couple of days it occurred to me that this town reminds me a LOT of a little Indian village. The people look similar, their language sounds similar, the land looks and feels like some parts of India, there is trash everywhere, people sitting around doing nothing, the family and community bonds are very strong, most things are ramshackle, but the clinic is spick and span. The only and significant difference is that fact that there is no industry, people aren't working. In India there is no welfare for people without work so people find ways to make money and survive.
A couple of days later some boys roll into town from a grammar school in Albany for a bonding session with the Tjuntjuntjara community and a footy match. So, I got Friday afternoon off to go watch the footy, only the second footy match I have ever watched. I didn't think I'd be pulling my camera out for at least my first couple of weeks on the community, but I could not resist the sun setting right behind the came on the dusty field.
Next day, turns out half the community is going camping a couple of hours north near an ancestral water hole. My awesome new boss gives me the afternoon off and says it's a great opportunity, if I'd like to join them. My eyebrows are half raised, prevented from a full vertical by me trying to keep my cool in an "I understand everything you're telling my but I have no idea what I'm in for" situation. I figure Fiona understands since she laughs knowingly.
A couple of hours later I'm packed and squeezed on the front passenger seat with Grant, who I know from 5 rhythms dance and was randomly standing on the airstrip when I landed (!!!). The back is full with the rest of our drivers family, a puppy and much food. The party ain't starting without us!
However, after about an hour or so driving we notice that one of the swags is missing, fallen off the roof. Oops! So Trevor leaves the rest of us by the side of the track to turn around and look for it. Can't be that far back since he only checked about 20 mins or so previously. An hour and a half later and I promise to myself that I will never allow myself to be deposited at the side of the road in a desert many kms from anywhere as I wonder whether we should start walking. But with us is one old fella, a mum, four kids and a puppy. The kids build a shelter for fun and I figure that we'd probably make it though the night ok.
Finally the 4wd returns and we continue on the way, sans one swag, which someone else had found, taken back to the community, and radioed it in.
About 100kms we turn off the main "road" (sandy track over the sparsely vegitated dunes) into an even smaller track which slowly gets worse and worse until a couple of hours in we are basically just making the tracks as we go, or, in our case, following the tracks that had been made by the 4wds ahead of us.
It's near dark when we stop by the 4wd bus which is being left there since the tack is getting too impossible for it to navigate. We already passed one of it's punctured tires on the side of the track which they must have changed and left there to pick up on the way back. We get out to have a break and pick up some stuff from the bus that was being left there. Already there are three fires burning and I initially thought this was our camp, but as it turns out this mob just lights fires anywhere they sit down for more than 5 minutes. Eventually some more 4wds come and we continue for perhaps another 45 mins winding through the countryside.
It's long dark by the time we arrive at the designated camping area and there are many fires dotted around the place, at least 10 or so, with a few people camped around each fire. On top of that kids were running around just randomly setting fire to any old trees and shrubs that would burn. Having lived in bushfire danger country for many many years this is a big eye opener and eyebrow raiser. However, none of the fires spread. So grant and I found a little patch of dirt, pulled out some dry grass and collected some dead wood for out own little fire. By this time someone else arrives who brought Grant's swag along from town and everyone is settling in for a nice bbq feed (I attempted to eat a sausage, but failed after one bite) followed by a few hours of muted campfire conversation.
We lined up some logs that we could easily reach from our swags to push further into the fire during the night. I woke a couple of times to pee and stoked the fire. Grant was happily snoring away. At some point I woke to the more gorgeous band of gold on the pre-dawn horison. I looked for a while but decided that it was still way to early, so turned around and slept some more.
The next day after breakfast we all gathered and the elders told the story of this watering hole, the story of the seven sisters and the old man who was chasing them. They passed through this place and stopped at the water hole. It had filled up with sand and we all proceeded to dig it out.
I collected a few different types of rock and asked some old men about them and if I could take them home. Of of them in particular looks like shards of crystal, they told me it was used to cut the men in initiations, one of them showed me his scars. Larger pieces were also used to cut open kangaroos and smaller ones were put on the end of spears. I have always loved rocks and stones and they will take a proud place in my little collection.
Grant and I also walked up a little hill a few hundred meters away from the hole to have a look around after asking permission. There were lots of rabbit droppings and also camel tracks. The wild camels are apparently a pest in these areas. From the top we could see a few kms each way. I went and sat with the old men again when I came back and noticed they paid very close attention and nodded when I started to describe the land that I saw from up there, the different shades of green in the different areas etc. The sharpness with which they suddenly listened took me by surprise, suddenly they here very interested in every word. I didn't even say that much much, but it highlighted for me that knowledge of the land would have been the difference between life and death for them and so nothing is as important as any information about the land.
And I am falling in love with it.

So I scanned my old negatives a few years ago and have just had them sitting on the hdd doing nothing. They are not pro scans and I have not bothered to clean them up, kinda don't mind the gritty dust and scratches etc.
I went to Sweden in 1997 on a student exchange program between The University of Sydney and The Royal Institute of Technology to do my final year in mechanical engineering.
These are some of the photos from that time. They were taken on film with my old Canon EOS 650, probably mostly with my EF70-210mm lens.

(Health.com) -- Women have long relied on cranberry juice or supplements to prevent painful urinary tract infections.
But a new study from Europe suggests this widely used natural remedy is considerably less effective than low-dose antibiotics, another common preventive measure for recurrent UTIs.
Women with a history of recurring UTIs who took cranberry supplements for one year had an average of four infections during that time, compared with 1.8 infections in a similar group of women who took a daily low-dose antibiotic, the study found.
Using antibiotics rather than cranberry products isn't a clear-cut decision for women, however. Doctors and patients need to balance the comfort of the patient against the growing problem of drug-resistant bacteria, the authors say.
Health.com: More good news about cranberries
"In terms of ability to prevent recurrent infections, the antibiotic was about twice as effective as cranberry, but it results in more antibiotic resistance," says Lianne Marks, M.D., an internal medicine physician at Scott & White Healthcare, in Round Rock, Texas, who was not involved in the study.
Antibiotic resistance is a major public health concern, one that appears to be getting worse. If microorganisms such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) -- the most common cause of UTIs -- develop a resistance to antibiotics, it can make infections more dangerous and difficult to treat for everyone.
"Most patients do not like to take antibiotics for a long period," says the senior author of the study, Suzanne E. Geerlings, M.D., an infectious disease specialist with the Academic Medical Center, in Amsterdam. "I think that cranberries are still a good alternative."
Health.com: America's healthiest superfoods for women
UTIs are ubiquitous. About half of women have had at least one UTI in their lifetime, and up to one-third experience recurrent infections. Women who have more than two infections a year often are prescribed low-dose antibiotics to prevent more occurrences.
In the study, 221 premenopausal women with recurrent UTIs were randomized to receive 480 milligrams a day of the standard antibiotic treatment for the condition -- a combination of the drugs trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (known as TMP-SMX) -- or 500 milligrams twice a day of cranberry capsules.
More than three-quarters (78%) of those taking cranberry capsules had at least one UTI during the study, versus 71% in the drug group. UTI recurrence also tended to happen sooner in the cranberry group. The average time to recurrence in the antibiotic group was about eight months, compared with four months in the cranberry group.
Health.com: New treatment for urinary tract infections called promising
Differences in antibiotic resistance were even more dramatic between the two groups. After one month of treatment, about 90% of the bacteria specimens collected from the women in the antibiotics group (via urine and stool samples) were resistant to TMP-SMX, compared with roughly one-quarter of the specimens from the cranberry group.
Antibiotic resistance rates did return to pre-study levels three months after treatment was stopped.
Low-dose antibiotics were clearly more effective than the cranberry supplements, but higher doses of cranberry may help close the gap.
The main UTI-fighting ingredient in cranberries is believed to be A-type proanthocyanidins (PACs), a so-called flavonoid compound that prevents bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract.
The cranberry capsules used in this study contained 9.1 milligrams of active ingredient in each two-capsule daily dose, about the same as 2.5 ounces of Ocean Spray cranberry juice.
Health.com: Very berry recipes
"One pitfall of this study was that the dosage of cranberry was on the low end, so it would be conceivable that a higher dose would be effective," Marks says. A study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health is under way to determine the ideal dose of cranberry for UTI prevention.
Cranberry products aren't the only natural way to fight UTIs. Annette Sessions, M.D., an assistant professor of clinical urology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, in New York, urges her patients to drink more water and go to the bathroom more frequently.
Only a "handful" of patients for whom natural techniques don't work "resort to antibiotics," Sessions says.

I like how she listens to NY songs and bands while in Los Angeles
Polly's new song "An Acre of Land" (a cover of a traditional nursery rhyme, it seems) will be featured in Clio Barnard's film Dark River.
Paul Muldoon in conversation with PJ Harvey - an hour-long interview, I guess the first and only one from this era.
She also reads some poetry - Sondheim's "There's Something About a War", Louis MacNeice's "Autobiography", and her own poems "Let England Shake", "The Forest" and "Down by the Water".
ETA: I can't seem to embed the video, here is the direct link: https://vimeo.com/234850739

"PJ Harvey has contributed new music to Dark River, the upcoming thriller movie from director Clio Barnard (The Arbor, The Selfish Giant). Watch a trailer featuring a new song below. In the film, set in rural England, a pair of estranged siblings reunited by their father's death descend into an inheritance dispute. Ruth Wilson, Mark Stanley, and Sean Bean star. "
oh, that's it. sounds good to me, the bit that can be heard in the movie trailer.

Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.
Small piece by Vogue I never had read before on her Spice Girls outfit =).
Wow, I remember hating her look back then... but now, to think, she indirectly influenced Justin Bieber. She's a genius.
I was watching Altered Carbon (Netflix series) last night and they were playing This Wicked Tongue on episode 4.
the full song (An Acre Of Land) is here!
Late last year, the trailer for the new movie Dark River, a new UK thriller from director Clio Barnard, came out, and it featured an absolutely gorgeous soundtrack: PJ Harvey's version of the traditional English folk song "An Acre Of Land." Today, Noisey reports that Harvey is teaming up with composer Harry Escott to soundtrack the entire movie. And Harvey has also shared the full studio version of "An Acre Of Land." It's a total stunner, stark and mesmerizing, and you can hear it below, via Noisey.
Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together.
^ Thanks so much for sharing!
(I can't give you anymore rep or I would)
I'm late to this but, I fucking love this song and at the time(2016) disliked "The Camp" because it's so transparently bullshit (as if all immigrants are refugees fleeing imminent death LOL) but it's quickly became one of my favorite PJ Harvey songs: the clarity of her voice, the counterpoint of that Egyptian guy...I love this song so much, despite being completely against all the supposed political viewpoints it stood for at the time. And that's okay, because even though I can see PJ as being an ignorant upper-class white cis-woman naive classist SJW, sorry to say, she makes amazing songs that captures...the dire side of life, even though it's not politically correct or even politically real to acknowledge that there exists a "difference":
New P J Harvey - John Parish song available on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/2TTMY0HthX3mavpocVi1K0
It is called "Sorry for your loss" and it will be included in the new Parish album: https://pitchfork.com/news/john-pari...ew-song-listen
I honestly hate that politics always come up in PJ Harvey discussions now. I wonder if it's the fact that she's so specific, the bigger message gets lost? All I know is "The Camp" probably shoulda been on the album, and "Dollar Dollar" is absolutely one of the best political songs I've ever heard, like Neil Young or Patti Smith level.
I'm a few days late on this, but PJ's store put up a bunch of rare shit for sale (at moderately inflated prices). It's been pretty much cleaned out at this point, though.

When talking about women's accessories, you cannot leave sunglasses out of this category of fashion items. Sunglasses have been in fashion from time immemorial and do not seem to be going out of vogue anytime soon. For numerous women, they are a category of accessories that can give you a complete outlook and make you a lot more charming and stylish. Truth be told, sunglasses do give your outfit a visible touch of style, class and exquisite. Beyond wearing sunglasses just for fashion purposes, there is another set of women who wear it for functional purposes. Sunglasses can come in handy and be beneficial in cases where you need to keep your eyes away from the scorching effect of the sun. If you are particular about avoiding sunburns, wearing these kind of glasses under the sun is quite important for you. Whatever the aim for you wearing sunglasses is, you can always find a pair or more that would suit every kind of outfit, taste and occasion.
Yes, sunglasses are fantastic and can make you look trendy but the last thing you want to do is wear a pair of glasses that either doesn't fit you or could be better worn. Here are a number of things that you should consider just before spending some money on a new pair of sunglasses:
1. Face shape: This is the single most important factor to consider when choosing glasses. Sunglasses are usually designed in different ways to suit different face types such that there is no one-size-fits-all kind of glasses. There are different face shapes including square, round, oval, triangular and so on. In any case where you are quite unsure of the kind of glasses to get, just follow the rule of thumb that says that your eyeglasses should be in a direct contrast with your face shape.
2. Occasion: Although most sunglasses can be worn to a wide range of casual events, it is quite important to know that it would be safe to wear those that would tally with the aim of the event and the environment. You do not want to wear a pair of sunglasses that would make you look odd or out of place.

Rock Run drilling still a big question
RALSTON – Drilling for natural gas in the Rock Run area of McIntyre Township still may happen.
Then again, maybe not.
Anadarko Petroleum officials have not denied they have considered gas development in Loyalsock State Forest.
And state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources officials confirm that they continue to be in negotiations with Anadarko over drilling in the area opposed by environmental groups and others.
"We still do not have a signed surface use agreement with DCNR," Anadarko spokeswoman Mary B. Wolf said last week.
She said the issue still is being discussed with DCNR.
Negotiations have been under way for quite some time over various issues pertaining to drilling.
McIntyre Township Supervisor Dan Clark said he knows little about what is happening with regard to gas development.
But he said supervisors are against drilling, which is being targeted in the area of Old Loggers Path, where seismic testing has been done.
"Sure, we're opposed to it," Clark said. "We went on record as being opposed to it."
Last fall, Anadarko officials said discussions with DCNR concentrated on identification and protection of species and habitat.
State Department of Environmental Protection officials later notified the township that Anadarko might be willing to drill in areas of the forest land away from the Rock Run watershed.
Supervisors indicated that Rock Run is a high quality trout stream that could be adversely effected by drilling.
"DCNR has not made any agreements for gas drilling in the area of the Old Loggers Path in the Loyalsock State Forest," DCNR spokeswoman Christina Novak said last week.
But officials with PennFuture, a Harrisburg-based non-profit advocacy group, have indicated that through a Right to Know request they learned that "advanced negotiations" between and Anadarko and DCNR are under way.
In an email released to the Sun-Gazette last week, it was stated, "We have asked the DCNR to open a public comment period on Anadarko's development proposal since DCNR has a legal duty to conserve and maintain state forest lands for the benefit of all Pennsylvanians, including future generations. Further, DCNR may not grant a right-of-way over state forest lands unless it determines that the interests of the Commonwealth or its citizens will be promoted. To date, our request of the DCNR goes unheeded."
PennFuture officials could not reached for further comment.
DCNR officials in the past have conceded there exist a complex combination of privately and publicly owned surface and subsurface rights.
The state agency cannot prohibit access to the subsurface rights its does not own.
The state bought the land in 1933, but not the mineral rights.
Anadarko reportedly purchased 50 percent of the mineral rights under the state forest.
Drilling opponents believe Anadarko's ability to drill may be held up by a 50-year deed, which limited surface rights.
However, that deed has expired.
Meanwhile, Brian Babb, permits chief with DEP's northwestern office in Meadville, said Friday he can find no record of a drilling permit application by Anadarko for gas development in the area.

Swanson is backing a bill, sponsored by the DFL chairs of the House and Senate judiciary committees, that would force all debt buyers to establish evidence of the validity and amount of the debt.
Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson called for legislation Monday that would force companies that buy bad debts to prove in court that they use reliable information when they target debtors for repayment.
Swanson contended that companies that purchase old, unpaid debts from banks and credit card companies — usually for pennies on the dollar — often obtain default court judgments against the debtors by using information that's incorrect or incomplete. She said debtors frequently don't get timely notice of court proceedings against them or don't have the resources to represent themselves in court, so judges sometimes grant the default judgments based only on summary data provided by the debt buyers.
"A debt buyer should have admissible evidence," Swanson said. "In our American court system, to win in court, you should have to prove your case in court."
Swanson is backing a bill, sponsored by the DFL chairs of the House and Senate judiciary committees, that would force all debt buyers to establish evidence of the validity and amount of the debt; that the correct debtor is being targeted; and that they properly own the debt in question.
Debt buyers can usually afford better legal representation than debtors, Swanson said. And she said many debtors don't find out about legal proceedings until it's too late — debt buyers fail to properly notify them because of old addresses, misspelled names or other unforeseen circumstances.
Sen. Ron Latz, the St. Louis Park Democrat who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said while many judges already hold debt buyers to acceptable proof standards, an overburdened court system has allowed cases to fall through the cracks. Debt buyers are filing lawsuits at a heavy rate, Swanson said: One company alone, Midland Funding LLC, filed over 15,000 lawsuits against individuals in Minnesota courts since 2008.
In December, Midland settled a lawsuit with the state by agreeing to change its collection practices after Swanson's office accused it of filing unreliable court papers and carelessly targeting people for debts they didn't owe. Company employees admitted in sworn testimony that they signed up to 400 mass-produced affidavits a day — often without reading them, knowing what they contained or verifying whether they contained accurate information.
The company ultimately agreed to conform to a set of procedures in its debt collection practices that are now echoed in Swanson's legislative proposal.
Better state funding of Minnesota's court system will be a part of making sure Swanson's proposed change is thoroughly enforced, Latz said.

Benjamin Robins
Born: 1707 in Bath, England
Died: 20 July 1751 in Madras, (now Chennai) India
|Main Index
|Biographies index
Benjamin Robins' parents were John Robins (1666-1758) and Sarah Broughton. John and Sarah were Quakers and they married in 1700, according to the Quaker monthly meeting records, "decently without any superfluity either in meats, drink or apparel." Benjamin was his parents' only child. John Robins was a tailor and the family was rather poor financially. It is unclear whether Benjamin attended school in Bath; some biographers claim that he did, but no record of his attendance has been found. It is likely that he studied languages and mathematics without the help of tutors. By whatever means he acquired an education while in Bath, he showed sufficient promise that he was recommended to go to London to be coached in mathematics. James Wilson, in his account of Robin's life and writings in [6], writes:-
However, some particular friends of Mr Robins being very desirous that he might continue his pursuits, and his merit not be left in obscurity, wished for this purpose that he could be properly recommended to teach in this town [London] the mathematics, which had been one of the principal objects of his studies. With this view therefore they communicated to a gentleman here [in London] a paper written by him, in order to learn what judgement persons of knowledge might make of his abilities. This was shown to Dr Pemberton, who, thence, conceiving a good opinion of the writer, for a further trial of his proficiency sent him some problems, of which the Doctor required elegant solutions, not those founded on algebraical calculations; adding an example of such a solution that the young geometer might the more readily comprehend his meaning. An answer was returned by Mr Robins that gave a very advantageous idea of his taste, as well as invention. Upon this he came to London; where his presence still increased the favourable sentiments that had been entertained of his talents.In London he was taught by Dr Henry Pemberton, who, at the time, was preparing the third edition of Newton's Principia for publication. Pemberton soon had Robins reading, in English translations, the classic Greek texts on geometry by Apollonius, Archimedes and by Pappus. Robins loved this geometrical approach to mathematics and retained a preference for geometry over algebra or analysis throughout his life. In addition to the Greek texts he read works by Fermat, Huygens, de Witt, Sluze, James Gregory, Barrow, Newton, Taylor and Cotes. He progressed quickly, publishing in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1727, the year he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. This paper gave a proof of a result by Isaac Newton on quadratures. He then wrote on Johann Bernoulli's laws of motion and impacts of rigid bodies, refuting Johann Bernoulli's theory of elastic collisions in The Present State of the Republic of Letters in 1728. With this work he achieved considerable fame so that he was able to attract many pupils for mathematics tuition. He gave this as individual tuition to pupils who were aiming to enter the University of Cambridge, but he never taught a class. Wilson writes that at [6]:-
... about this time he quitted the peculiar garb and profession of a Quaker; for not having the least tincture of obstinacy, superstition or enthusiasm in his nature; he soon got over the prejudices of education, and had an utter aversion to act a feigned part. However, he continued to cultivate a friendship with several deserving persons of that persuasion ...Gradually Robins gave up teaching to become an engineer. He went on to construct bridges, mills and harbours. He also worked at making rivers navigable and draining fen land. In addition to this he began to study gunnery and fortifications. To gain experience he travelled through Flanders studying fortification work there; there was certainly much to see. On his return to England he published A discourse concerning the nature and certainty of Sir Isaac Newton's method of fluxions and prime and ultimate ratios. This was written to support the differential calculus against attacks by George Berkeley and James Jurin. In Robins own words from the article he published about his tract in The Present State of the Republick of Letters (October 1735):-
Some doubts having lately arisen concerning Sir Isaac Newton's doctrines of fluxions, and of prime and ultimate ratios; this treatise was written with design to give such an idea of both these subjects, as might clear them from uncertainty, without entering into the discussion of any particular objections.Florian Cajori writes [10] (or see [3]):-
Robin's tract is remarkable for clearness and soundness of exposition; it is a marked advance in that respect. The use of infinitely small quantities is rigidly excluded.To avoid the objections relating to infinitesimals, in "A discourse" Robins had defined a limit as a number:-
... to which a varying magnitude can approach within any degree of nearness whatever, though it can never be made absolutely equal to it.Jurin, who wrote under the pseudonym of Philalethes Cantabrigiensis, did not find it convincing, however. He replied in the November part of The Present State of the Republick of Letters arguing that Robins had not faithfully represented the concept of limit as used by Newton. For two years the controversy raged covering in total over 700 pages. Cajori writes [10] (or see [3]):-
The debate is the most thorough discussion of the theory of limits carried on in England during the eighteenth century. It constitutes a refinement of previous conceptions.Robins also published Remarks on M Euler's Treatise of Motion in 1739. His publications were not restricted to science, however, and around this time he published three famous political pamphlets criticising Robert Walpole's administration. These were entitled: Observations on the Present Convention with Spain; A narrative of what passed in the common hall of the citizens of London assembled for the election of a lord mayor; and An address to the electors and other free subjects of Great Britain occasioned by the late secession; in which is contained a particular account of all our negotiations with Spain and their treatment of us for above ten years past. It was, in part, due to these pamphlets that Walpole was pressured into declaring war with Spain in 1739. Robins' attacks on Walpole meant that after Walpole was removed from office in 1741, Robins was in favour with the Tory Party and he was appointed as secretary to a secret committee set up to investigate Walpole's conduct.
The Royal Military Academy was founded at Woolwich, in south-east London, in 1741 with the purpose of educating "good officers of artillery and perfect engineers." Robins was a candidate for the position of professor of fortification at the Academy but failed to be appointed; the post was given to a Mr Muller. Hutton writes [6]:-
... it has been said that Mr Robins published his discoveries and improvements in gunnery, to show, it was thought, what sort of man had been overlooked on that occasion.The work Robins published in 1742 was New Principles of Gunnery which formed the basis for all subsequent work on the theory of artillery and projectiles. The work grew out of a course Robins intended to give, but changed his mind on not being appointed to the new Royal Military Academy. He explained in the Preface how the book developed out of this course (see [6]):-
... I had resolved to render this course as complete as I possibly could, both by large models of different fronts of fortification, and their different attacks, and by an experimental exemplification of the precepts of gunnery with real artillery. I found it necessary to insert under this last head a theory of the force of gunpowder, and certain propositions relating to the resistance of air, which I had discovered, and confirmed by experiments. But these principles being set down in the schemes, which I delivered out as assertions only, without any account of the nature of the experiments made use of for proving them, and being liable to great contestation, on account of their inconsistency with all the received opinions of the writers upon this subject, I thought it incumbent on me to clear up in a more particular manner any difficulties which might have arisen about them, and to evince their certainty by a number of unquestioned experiments. And this has principally given rise to the ensuing treatise, in which the force and varied action of powder is so far determined, that the velocities of all kinds of bullets impelled by its explosion may be thus computed, and the enormous resistance of the air to swift motions (much beyond what any former theories have assigned) is likewise determined.The New Principles of Gunnery was rated highly by Euler who translated it into German, adding his own commentary, and the translation was published in Berlin in 1745. It was also translated into French by Le Roy at the request of the Académie des Sciences. This, and other work by Robins, would influence not only the British military but also that of other European countries.
Robins invented the ballistic pendulum which allowed precise measurements of the velocity of projectiles fired from guns. As described by Robins, a large wooden block is suspended in front of a gun. When a bullet is fired its momentum is transferred to the bob and can be determined from the amplitude of the pendulum's swing. In 1746 he published Of the resistance of the air; together with the method of computing the motions of bodies projected in that medium. He continued his study of the resistance of air, examining not only spheres moving through the air bur also other shapes such as pyramids. He published results of experiments he carried out in 1746 in the following year in the paper An account of experiments relating to the resistance of the air, exhibited at different times before the Royal Society, in the year 1746. In 1747 Robins received the Copley medal of the Royal Society to recognise his achievement in developing the new science of ballistics.
In his papers Robins often mixed science with a political message. For example in Of the force of fired gunpowder, together with the computation of the velocities thereby communicated to military projectiles (1747) he was critical of military research, while in A Proposal for Increasing the Strength of the British Navy (1747) he suggested that the navy adopt a new gun based on his own design. He experimented with rockets, publishing Rockets and the heights to which they ascend in 1750. He also improved the instruments at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich.
Robins was appointed engineer general for the British East India Company in 1749 sent to India in the following year [6]:-
... having provided himself with a complete set of astronomical and other instruments for making observations and experiments in the Indies, he departed at Christmas in the year 1749 ... In the voyage his ship was very near being cast away; but he arrived at the Indies on the thirteenth of July 1750.There he prepared the defence of Madras and of Cuddalore. He contracted a fever in India while working on the fortifications for Fort St David in Cuddalore and died, according to [2]:-
... with his pen in his hand while drawing up a report for the board of directors.Robins father, John Robins, was still living in Bath aged 85 when his son died. John Robins lived for seven more years in Bath [6]:-
... enjoyed a perfect state of health, having had nothing so much to regret as the loss of the only child he ever had; whose reputation in the world, and constant affectionate behaviour towards him, were the chief consolation of his declining years.Robins never married. In [6] Wilson gives an indication of his interests outside of science:-
... though he professed teaching mathematics only, he would however sometimes assist particular friends in other parts of knowledge; for he was well qualified to point out the real beauties of writers in all sorts of learning, and also the excellencies in the performances of great artists, as his taste and judgement were not limited to a single subject alone, but extended equally to history, oratory, poetry, music, architecture, sculpture, painting, and works of genius and invention of every kind.
