Feedback on, and even editing of material below is welcome. Feel free to use anything here as you wish - I am concentrating on getting the site working so can't do all of the enormous amount of content-related editing that I would like to be doing...
See also my Sandbox, which is for more extensive drafts, and draft postings for other sites such as Nabuur.com.
Quotes
It would be so much easier if climate change hid in caves in Afghanistan and had a beard. It’s a shame that the thought of the impending chaos and destruction wrought by our own making doesn’t quite have the same affect as an 80 year old man with a walking stick. - Tom Taylor

Have started a stub on AT at the Indonesian Wikipedia: Wikipedia:id:Teknologi tepat guna Indonesia. Division of the government science foundation, LIPI. Based in Subang, West Java. Holds Appropriate technology expos & competitions, e.g. an upcoming expo in Pontianak, West Kalimantan. Info:
- Teknologi tepat guna tidak identik dengan teknologi sederhana
- Ditantang lomba inovasi teknologi tepat guna (halfway down) - Fifth Appropriate Technology Expo (TTG) to be held in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, on September 2-6, 2006.
(Indonesian description of appropriate technology: Teknologi Tepat Guna atau dengan kata lain teknologi yang sesuai kebutuhan sehingga bisa dimanfaatkan masyarakat. - Technology to suit the use, or in other words technology which conforms to the needs so that it can be used by society.)
