blah blah blah

Well, crikey, gave a first-year lecture today. My boss couldn’t be there, so he asked me to cover for him. It was all a bit scary, and I fluffed it at the end, but I think it went reasonably okay. It was good talk practice at any rate. Bit of a mumbly bumbler though.

On a somewhat unrelated issue, I must say I’m really impressed with Wikipedia. Its a free online encyclopedia written by randoms, but quite a lot of it is rather good. I’ve been looking at A New Kind Of Science, Langton’s Ant, Algorithmic information theory, Random number and Bayesian Probability.

Time for beer and quiz.
