So, was climategate a hack after all?
This is going to be one of those difficult articles to write, just to make it easy to read. It’s going to get technical at points, because it has to, so there’s going to be more than a few detours to explain things, but bear with me. It’s Sunday afternoon, I’m wearing sunglasses indoors, it’s a … Read more
Internet Security 4 : I’d like to ask a favour of you.
Pointman’s is an analysis and opinion piece blog, primarily aimed at fighting climate alarmism. When there’s something big in the news on that front and I think I have something to offer on it, I may go into blog overdrive and put out a few pieces on it but that’s the exception rather than the … Read more
Happy birthday Pointman’s.

Why Climategate was not a computer hack.
Why Climategate was not a computer hack. In the year since the Climategate material became public, I’ve read many articles on the effect the publication has had on the AGW debate. When it is referred to as a hack in them, I usually don’t bother reading any further. If the writer of the article is … Read more
Internet Security 1 : Let’s be safe out there.
There are a number of reasons why you should always blog anonymously and very few against it.
