Well, I’m off to Warwick in October to read Physics; and I’m thrilled. Pretty much everything is sorted out, and by that I mean that there’s still a large amount of paperwork that I’ve got to force my way through before I’m entirely ready.
Just over a fortnight ago I set off aboard the Queen Victoria to cruise around the Mediterranean with the majority of my newly extended family. And without boring you all with some very delayed and boring travelogue, I’m going to write a bit about the places I visited. Especially as I only visited each port …
It’s certainly been a while since I posted anything that cannot be described as depressingly numerical, dull, or entirely pointless. I could talk about Lola Rennt on blu-ray,but when I did get to enjoy it in full HD the impact was noticeably lessened by how well Matt’s plasma TV could upscale a DVD. I can …

Reports are in, confirming something that I have known for a long time. Hats are awesome. Also, the Asia concert was beyond awesome; and if they’re playing near you; then you should certainly go and see them- Steve Howe is the most masterful guitarist that I have ever seen.
It’s been several months now since I last said anything noteworthy (bar expressing my disgust at the science funding crisis) and it’s probably time that I wrote something. Thanks to AppleCare my ageing iBook miraculously changed into a macbook before Christmas by virtue of some faulty bluetooth chip, my mac mini has since transformed into …
The STFC have recently massively slashed the budget for Physics in the UK by £80million. It means amongst many other things that the UK will drop out of exceedingly important international research, and many British research programmes will come under threat. It will also make it exceedingly difficult to take up further studies of Physics …
Happy (belated) new years everybody, it’s been a fairly hectic 2007 for me; and things are starting to look up for 2008. However, I am currently snowed in with AS level stuff; so am going to be unable to blog as often as I would like to- and I’ve got some exams around the 10th …
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all. -Alex.
Recently, my iBook’s bluetooth module and Sleep LED assembly decided that actually functioning was not worth the endeavour- so I took it along to the Apple store in Southampton. Unfortunately, the problems with my iBook were irreparable and as it was under Apple care; they gave me a new MacBook. Moral of the story: get …
