This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

Bye, bye Yasser Arafat
So it’s goodbye to Yasser Arafat. It’s difficult to know what to say about him. He was a complicated, flawed man but one who managed to keep the plight of the Palestinian people in the news for forty years. Until he came along they had simply been a ‘refugee problem’. Now they are seen, quite rightly, as a people without a country. I only hope that whoever succeeds him manages to keep that image intact and, more importantly, achieves at least some of the degree of nationhood which had eluded Arafat for so long.
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
