Alarm
·
1–2 minutes·
No comments on AlarmAn extremely noisy and irritating fire alarm is scraping across my eardrums here at the lab. We have quite a clever alarm system here, in that there are two types of alarms – the first one (which is what I am hearing right now) means ‘get ready, there might be a fire’ and the second…

NotCon and FreeFire
I visited NotCon ’04 yesterday and had a lot of fun being able to go into maximum geekitude along with the rest of the 300+ attendees. I didn’t hear anything particularly new at the conference apart from the announcement of the wonderful TheyWorkForYou.com website, but I met a bunch of interesting people and reveled in…

Some photos
Selected photos of my trip to Madrid are now online, along with some old (and more complete) photos of West Kirby Marine Lake. There’s not an awful lot to say about Madrid; our days centred around two things, food and drink, both of which were plentiful, good and cheap (just like pretty much everywhere else…

A certain kind of class
One of the unexpected benefits of entering the Apple community is that it introduces you to all sorts of interesting people. I’ve already met several people at college – none of them particularly technologically-oriented or solely male – who have come up to me and said, ‘You’ve got a Mac, right?’. I’m not entirely sure…

New photos
I’ve just set up some new gallery software which will let me automate the process of uploading and captioning photos, meaning that I’ll be displaying many more of my photos. You can see photos from my latest trip to Fort Lauderdale now, and I should be migrating photos over from my previous galleries this weekend.

Lagged on a Jet Plane
Horribly jetlagged. Probably the price I have to pay for having a wonderful break and conference. Oh well.

On a Jet Plane
Well, I’m flying off to Miami in a few hours for a vision research conference, so I won’t be posting here until Monday, unless I can get network access over there and feel sufficiently bored. See you all later.

Misappropriation
In a break from just writing game reports here, I thought I’d share a discovery I made today. I work at the Department of Physiology here in Oxford, and very recently they just finished construction on a new adjoining building which is all very high tech looking with lots of dark glass and shiny steel.…
