Season's Greetings from Bajan.Org - The Official Unofficial Guide to Barbados! Yes folks, it's that time of year again. Hope you and yours have an excellent holiday season wherever you are (and if you're looking for somewhere to be, why not take a break and visit Barbados?) |

According to Network Solutions, an Internet domain name registrar, bajan.org was registered on December the 19th, 1996. That was 16 years ago. Almost an eternity in Internet time (if such a thing exists). This domain may not be one of the oldest on The Internet (missed it by about 10 or 11 years according to Wikipedia), but it is in Barbados. Throughout the years it has has provided, in one form or another, no-frills information on Barbados to visitors from all across The World. Mind you, across the vastness of time, space and The Intertubes, you'll find dozens of sites on Barbados that are far more attractive and comprehensive. This is a good thing for the island (hopefully it will encourage people to visit and/or invest, etcetera...). But for me, as the owner and operator of the domain, I am content with providing just the basics as quickly and as efficiently as possible. Happy anniversary bajan.org. Here's to another 16 more years on The Intertubes! |

Folks, I started a new blog a few weeks ago: CHINDIA Watch. The site provides select macro level news & info from China and India. Home to over 2.5+ billion people or over 35% of the World's population. Drop by if you can. :-) |

9:18 AM. With the exception of some heavy rains this morning, Barbados was spared the effects of Ernesto. The "all clear" was given at 5:00 AM and it looks like we have a wet day ahead of us today. |

2:23 AM. No significant change from my last post. Latest image and bulletin ( 6A) from NHC has the center of Ernesto passing north of Barbados. I live on the south of the island, so that may explain why I'm not seeing any storm-like conditions. Other than that, it's not every hurricane season that you get to see am NHC picture of Barbados with a storm hovering directly over it:

11:04 PM. Still and quiet outside. Except for the crickets. And a light drizzle of rain. The latest bulletin (#6) from the National Hurricane Center Bulletin has the center of Ernesto passing near Barbados tonight. |

Well folks, Tropical Storm Ernesto appears to be heading our way. Tomorrow should be interesting. |

With apologies to U2. It's still and quiet. Except for the crickets chirping outside. First time to the island? The Harbour Lights beach parties are usually a safe bet on a Sunday evening. Afterwards, head to St. Lawrence Gap (a.k.a The Gap) and enjoy out the various bars, clubs and assorted night-life! |
