Did a New Scientist Enigma yeserday, for the first time in ages. I literally did on the back of an envelope too, which was cool. It was all about combinations, which I’ve only just finished teaching to our undergrads, so I jolly well should have been able to solve it!!

Ok, as promised – my thoughts on why people speed. Most obvious – “boy-racer” syndrome. Ridiculous and dangerous machismo, although this is more a feature of back streets and car-parks than motorways (but you do have to wonder when men in suits hare past at 150mph in their Audis) The difficulty of sticking to the […]

Done a lot of driving of late (most recently to a wedding at Brocket Hall, as in Lord Brocket, I’m a Celebrity.. and all that), and pre-Ben driving was a social experience with the missus, but these days she’s usually in the back looking after him, so we can’t really talk. Although it’s sad not to […]

Oh yes, and I didn’t mention that I’ve chanted a few more CSS runes over the site. Nothing major, it was just bugging me that the text of the site was stuck at 800px wide flushed left. Anyway, now it (hopefully) resizes and is centered in the window. And I don’t mind saying it was […]

Phew busy time. Just been marking my third year’s exam papers (which I can’t comment on for obvious reasons), but one of them stopped by after the exam and told me that he’d read all of this garbage! I didn’t think anyone except me was interested in it, but there you go – I guess […]

Just in case you hadn’t noticed, I did a mini site enhancement a week or so ago (which is what gave birth to the whole idea of a news section), to put “Eutony Computing” and “Eutony Music” under the auspices of “Eutony.Net”. These had previously resided at eutony.co.uk and eutony.com respectively, but I don’t really […]

Yup – he’s got the hang of sleeping again. This morning he even made it through to 7am.. quids in!

I take it all back – he slept through the night!! Well, if you count waking up at 6.15 as sleeping through the night (which we do!)

G’rrrrr – five times in the night – FIVE TIMES And three times the night before. Ben the master sleep-depriver strikes again.

One more before bed. It’s always been said that it’s great to be a grandparent or aunt/uncle because you can hand back kids when they start screaming. What I haven’t appreciated before is that the parent probably also wants you to hand them back when the start screaming. The chances are you weren’t the cause […]
