Optimus Waffle: September 2009
http://optimuswaffle.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 6 September 2009. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Got pushed further back in my cerebrum, being overtaken by newer, shinier exciting things. So, imagine my delight when tearing open my birthday presents a few weeks ago I was confronted by a zombified Georgian Lady. Lets face it, any book that starts with the immortal line ' It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains. Let me tell you, this book does not disappoint! Repeated Darcy co...

Optimus Waffle: The Happyness Scale
http://optimuswaffle.blogspot.com/2010/03/happyness-scale.html
Tuesday, 2 March 2010. Haven't posted anything in a while, so thought it was about time I pulled on my blogging mittens and got typing again. As an easy intro I thought I'd post the little figure below, which kinda developed out of a discussion we were having the other day when I was accused of being a tea-centric being. Have to admit, they're probably correct. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A semi-regular blog of general comments on science, computers, and all things geeky. View my complete profile.

Optimus Waffle: June 2009
http://optimuswaffle.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 26 June 2009. A Walk Around Britain. I actually stumbled across these guys a while ago, and have been meaning to write some incomprehensible mumblings about them for ages. However, what with the thesis reaching its inevitable conclusion I haven't been doing a great deal of anything except typing furiously into a LaTeX document! Now that the beast is finally finished I have time to waste, so there should be many more comments appearing on this wee collection of random drivel in the near future.

Optimus Waffle: Furry Little Friend...
http://optimuswaffle.blogspot.com/2009/07/furry-little-friend.html
Friday, 31 July 2009. Rather random (and short) post this one, but was so pleased with the end result I just had to. For months now, my parents have been telling me about this little field mouse that comes and eats bird seed from a feeder near their back door every morning. So, this morning, having an hour or so to kill, I camped out with my camera. Isn't he/she just adorable! Marcus D. Hanwell. Nice photo. I didnt know you were on LinkedIn, blogging and everything now! 1 August 2009 at 00:01.

Optimus Waffle: Lions Loose in Yorkshire
http://optimuswaffle.blogspot.com/2009/07/lions-loose-in-yorkshire.html
Friday, 31 July 2009. Lions Loose in Yorkshire. The other day I came across a brilliant reader's letter. In the paper Look Local. Published weekly near Sheffield. The said letter quoted an article from 1891 describing the events that occurred when a traveling circus of wild and wonderful beasts had a few problems with the lion's wagon. Here is the letter transcribed in full:. EXCITING SCENE NEAR OUGHTIBRIDGE. A CAGE OF LIONS OVERTURNED. Both girls were attended by an assistant of Mr. Browning, surgeo...

Optimus Waffle: March 2009
http://optimuswaffle.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 8 March 2009. Last night I went to see. S movie adaptation of the highly acclaimed. And I wasn't disappointed! I have to admit, when I first heard that a movie adaptation was actually in the process of being filmed (afterall, Hollywood have been trying to do. However, despite all the potential pitfalls, for me it lived up to the billing amply. The cinematography was everything one comes to expect from Snyder (e.g., 300. Some of the ultimate fan boys will complain about how this scene or that scen...

Optimus Waffle: March 2010
http://optimuswaffle.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 31 March 2010. Last week a colleague and I headed up to. To do some fieldwork for a paper we're busily scribbling away at. Despite it being March and the weather being a touch questionable, it was, none-the-less, extremely beautiful:. We mumbled away about how easy it would be to make an anti-speed camera device, in the end coming to a quite surprising solution. Our thought process was basically this:. Speed cameras work using the Doppler Effect. Links to this post. Tuesday, 2 March 2010.

Optimus Waffle: December 2008
http://optimuswaffle.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 December 2008. The daily press is the evil principle of the modern world, and time will only serve to disclose this fact with greater and greater clearness. The capacity of the newspaper for degeneration is sophistically without limit, since it can always sink lower and lower in its choice of readers. At last it will stir up all those dregs of humanity which no state of government can control.'. Soren Kierkegaard, a Danish philosopher and theologian, expressed this opinion in The Last Years.
