Future of this blog?

I have been wondering what to do with this blog, driven by me moving my websites to a new host Webarchitechs. So far the new virtual server does not have PHP on, and I am minded not to install it. I wish to keep it pretty slimline and lightweight, which will mean no WordPress. So should I abandon this blog? Or rehost it in the same way Giles Thomas has done as outline in his post using his new solution.

I have posted a few private posts to share photos with family, and so maintaining this is an issue with setting up a new solution with passworded posts. I never did this as much as intended and may see about sharing more to allow my family to see what we are up to without using social media platforms.

The SSL cert runs out on j12.org this month and since the new hosting allows me to deploy Let’s Encrypt certificates that is a good time to move j12.org

Two gas networks in 2050: bio-methane/syn-gas (with up to 20% Hydrogen) and 100% hydrogen

My prediction is that in 2050 in the UK and hopefully worldwide, there will be two sort of large scale Gas Networks delivering energy for heating: a non-fossil synthetic / bio-methane (with up to 20% Hydrogen) and a fully 100% hydrogen Network be it from fossil fuels with Carbon Capture and Storage (Blue Hydrogen) or from electrolysis from Green electricity.
To get there we need to grow market for bio-methane using the existing Gas Networks. The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) helps this. Changes to regulation and billing will help also.

Catching up on Coronavirus.

There is so much out there on Coronavirus (COVID19) including much harrowing content from Italy and Iran.

But here is back at delayed response only just now catching up with where need to be to stop the spread in the UK:
Scientists have been sounding the alarm on coronavirus for months. Why did Britain fail to act?

I am at home where I have been working from this week, along with my family, with both kids off from school from now on. We will see if internet holds up next week, to deliver the video content the kids love, and from Monday 23rd Disney’s new streaming service, along side learning from likes of the Khan Academy as well as our favourites like 3Blue1Brown & Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell which on their channel makes good use of our advert free You Tube Premium which I have as much for Google / YouTube music for me to work to on my phone.
