Tim Stinchcombe

Welcome to my website! On it you will find a range of material, data, information, and personalia (and maybe even some knowledge!) on a variety of subjects which either have been, or continue to be, of interest to me, or an influence upon me.

Analogue Modular Synthesizer: Tinkering with my synthesizer, or learning about the electronics inside it, has become my main pastime since 2001 when I purchased my first modules. Pages here describe modifications I have made to some modules, and present results of tests and investigations I have carried out from time to time.

About me: A brief biography about my background, who I am and where I've come from.

Man-made Global Warming...

...and all that bollocks. Sufficient time has elapsed since I linked to Falsification of the Atmospheric CO₂ Greenhouse Effects within the Frame of Physics (International Journal of Modern Physics B, vol. 23, no. 3, 2009, pp275-364; non-technical summary by ilovemycarbondioxide.com), which claims there is no physical mechanism or physical law by which CO₂ in the atmosphere can cause the planet to warm up, for a proper rebuttal to appear: Comment on 'Falsification of...' (IJMPB vol. 24, no. 10, 2010, pp1309-1332), and indeed the original authors have also commented on that rebuttal: Reply to 'Comment on Falsification of...' (ibid, pp1333-1359).

Some of the comments in this thread at the Climate Physics forum are making me think that there probably are issues with the paper, but if the experts can't agree on such a deeply-difficult technical matter, what chance do the rest of us stand in being able to draw a conclusion of who is right, and who wrong? That the IPCC still receives a panning from many quarters, and that it is clear the science is not settled, then I'm still inclined to think that lots of what we are currently being force-fed is utter bollocks, and I hope I'm still around in years to come when we finally wake up to this (and if not, I will eat my words...).

The CO₂ Science website is well worth a visit. Their Youtube channel has some brilliant videos: two great quotes in this one, The Science Is Not Settled, at about 1:32, "Believing is easier than calculus!"; and at 2:48, "The whole truth will bust the biggest bandwagon that has ever hit environmental science".

Purple Mountain Exophrenics: I was really pleased with this name when I created it for the limited company I ran whilst doing some contract work between 2002 and 2004. I no longer maintain it as a limited company, but have decided it might as well have a 'web presence' in case it can serve me again in the future: hence the words here.

"Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time"

'A Psalm of Life', Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1838,

though, like me, you may know it from Hawkwind's excellent 'Assault and Battery', off their 'Warrior on the Edge of Time' LP of 1975. I first heard it in 1976, and those lyrics have stayed with me ever since—it was many, many years before I discovered that they were originally written by someone else...
