Why, you may ask, does Warhead exist? There are no banner ads, no credit card payment thingies, no links to buy books from Amazon. What's in it for me?

Well, and here's where it gets all gooey and stupid sounding, I'm doing this for the Net community. Because it's fun to do cool things. Isn't that what life's about?

So, ladies and gentlement, I present the Warhead Manifesto:

 Encourage the expression of interesting and useful ideas, both by hosting sites/mirrors for cool projects and by working on communication systems for idea-generating people

 Try to provide a focusing point for a distributed and often isolated community of intelligent people, worldwide, regardless of unimportant factors such as gender, ethnic origin, sexuality, and all that rubbish

 To encourage entertaining discussions as well as deep serious ones, since humour is a fundamental human escape mechanism

 To act as a playground for new ideas

 To prove that the ability to innovate is not exclusive to famous people who have lots of experience; the seed of intelligence sprouts within many of us, and it is the responsibility of others to try to provide a fertile ground for it to grow. So even if you don't know all about UNIX internals, space travel, quantum mechanics, how utopia could be acheived, or why people cry, if you are the kind of person who wonders about these things, Warhead is still here for you.

At the moment, Warhead is still in its infancy. I accept requests for Internet-based services such as Web/DNS hosting/mirroring that my server love can provide, if you have an interesting project you want to be able to tell the world about, and I'm working (in my spare time) on the web sites at www.rfc.net and www.open-research.org.uk. The latter will be a vaguely Slashdot-esque article publication/discussion engine, with moderate publication followed by unmoderated discussion, when it's finished...

Thankyou for listening. Now go out and play.
