Well, this will be the last post then as i move over to my shiny new wordpress blog. It's been fun! ta ta for now

This is a brilliant site taking a light-hearted view on the serious matter of science and religious fundamentalism. Ha de ha ha! Check out the The Cobb County Solar System for starters ;-)

Can you believe the stupidity of some folks!

 

(The google ads are quite funny too, obviously providing ads related to the main terms in the article, not always appropriately though!)

In an attempt to do things other than work, i have hit flickr in earnest uploading pictures from CAA 2004 and some from a visit to Stonehenge. Next stop, proper wordpress blog!

A major fire at the weekend destroyed one of the Electronics and Computer Science buildings at the university. There are pictures on the temporary wiki set up to help people during this time; what remains of the site looks like a mess...

While scientists have been struggling against the rising tide of ID proponents and their misuse of the term theory, one man has managed to beat them at their own game: The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has a rather unique twist on the whole debate, and uses the same arguments as ID proponents to argue a plainly ridiculous stance!

Yes, just to reiterate, a theory is a hypothesis which has been tested and is supported by the available evidence. It is not something made-up or based on dubious interpretations of literary sources. See what the WikiPedia or the Oxford English Dictionary has to say on this.

 

 

At last... Having moved house in AUGUST, Pipex have finally reconnected the broadband today. This must be some kind of record! Anyway, am complaining so won't go into detail, suffice to say it's just great to be back online

They have finally arrived! I've grown the little Balconi variety again this year and looks like there will be plenty more coming.

Southampton is undergoing an 'image change' and the council have put a website up to describe what's happening and how to get involved.

Went to the Beggars Fair the other weekend and had a great time; will definitely go again next year. Great music, atmosphere, food and beer :-)
