Carter cobbled community crumbles...


When will they accept that the road to hell, albeit one paved with good intentions, is still the road to hell?

The following excerpt is from an unintentionally allegorical story in The Sunday Times:
Fairway Oaks was built on northern Florida wasteland by 10,000 volunteers, including Carter, in a record 17-day “blitz” organised by the charity Habitat for Humanity.

Eight years later it is better known for cockroaches, mildew and mysterious skin rashes.

In case you're still not sure of the moral — it has to do with what to expect when you build on a foundation of garbage!

What's the attention span of a Googlebot?

Google captureIt used to be that when you Googled "vantage hunt" you'd get both the blog and the latest post displayed; today it's only the blog. I've been gone for a week and it appears that the Googlebots got bored. I guess I'll have to start posting on a more regular basis again.
