What’s New

The most recent significant changes on this website

Completely new:

On AI – A Conversation with Friends (April 2025)

Two photos I took in 2006 of a young Maran hen and a young cockerel – apparently taking a close look at me, or the camera. (January 2025)

Two photos I took in 2005 of an Indian dragonfly and an Indian relative of bindweed. (December 2024)

Three old videos of me speaking – one at a hustings; one (Greens’ Policies) made for The People’s Politics, a group encouraging young people to take an interest in politics; and one (When Sea Level Rises) at a poetry reading group, about the dodgy future of nuclear power stations – that have been on youtube linked from this site for years, are now hosted on my own site. This avoids the annoying ads popping up ahead of them, and the annoying habit of youtube appending some other rubbish after them. Also the text of these speeches at Video text and Hustings speech text) (20th July 2024).

Major rewrites, updates, or extensions:

Two new sections (Pumped High-density Liquid and Underground Compressed Air) on my Energy Storage Overview page (1st February 2025).

Small but significant updates:

An article I wrote for ALPSP’s Learned Publishing in 1996, that was always mentioned on my Publications page, is now actually linked to: Electronic publishing: What the Physiological Society is doing (24th August 2024)

Broken links etc. fixed:

None recently. (If you do notice any such issues, do please let me know – email cliveksemmens@gmail.com.)
