Computer Science at University College London 21 months ago

Can’t say I enjoyed this terribly, due to the bulk of it being theory, logic and maths and barely any programming. Everyone seems to either have disappeared into obscure IT/helpdesk type jobs, or been seduced by the money of investment banking. Can’t say either appeal to me…

experience an earthquake

A minor earthquake 21 months ago

About half an hour ago I’m tapping away at my computer, minding my own business when it dawns on me that I’m rocking in my chair, yet my feet aren’t touching anything to propel me. And the tea in my mug is rippling, Jurassic Park-style. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me until I saw Louise seconds later (who’d gone to bed an hour earlier) who’d been woken from her sleep. Early reports from BBC say the earthquake (or earth tremor… when does a ‘tremor’ become a ‘quake’?) was in the Midlands, but it was strong here too.

I don’t think I’d want to experience a proper earthquake, that was creepy enough for me.
