Making use of the blog

Hello!

I have no idea what to write in blogs, damn, i'm not traveling anywhere....so no need to keep friends and family updated on my whereabouts... not doing anything particularly different recently (I was going to say 'exciting' but no, to me what I'm doing (for my PhD that is) is quite fascinating, and interesting, and excitement necessarily goes out of it because I'm always 'in it'). Anyway, so same old....
Margaret has come back from her Japanese icebreaker Antarctic trip! :) Will be catching up with her soon I hope....in a few hours maybe....
Okay, so until next time, when I do something 'exciting' perhaps! :)

Oh, interesting article I picked up on slashdot today --> the 14 greatest engineering challenges of the 21st century: http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/25219

And reading: Metamagical Themas, Douglas Hofstadter really makes your brain hurt....self-referential sentences....e.g. I am simultaneously writing and being written....like what the??? *lol* But it's good! Recommend it! Always healthy to go for a mental jog :)

First Post!

Hello,

I'm starting a blog! :) which will hopefully grow beyond just hogging the website address, and leaving a hole in cyberspace....
