Matthew's Journal

Today has been a bit frustrating - parameterizing the current model is being more time-consuming than I'd like, and either my hayfever is much worse as of last night or I'm getting a cold on top of it.

I'm not really posting to whinge, though, but rather to point you at this entertaining cartoon

and here's the proof [link WS, but contains images of dead fwuffy animal]

The poster has gone into the internal mail; thanks for your comments on it. The weekend looks like being fun, and on Monday I'm driving damerell and his haunted fishtanks around. Some useful/amusing links:

Viewtrip; enter in your booking number, and it tells you all about your flights - this told me one of my Corfu-flights has been substantially re-scheduled - I'm glad I found out about that now!

Starcraft origami; awesome origami, sadly let down by mediocre photography.

The HMS Iron Lady petition; how very silly!

A button to show concern over Alan Johnston, the BBC reporter still missing in Gaza. Looks like this:



Missing Cambridge today, but that will pass.

There will be some content along later, but in the mean time:

Wholly Love (that page WS, the rest of the site probably less so), a Christian Sex-Toys website. The linked page explains why they think this is a worthwhile thing to do...

"Following Orders", a fictional(ish) book about the 2001 FMD outbreak. The review is by the people whose website is plugging the book, so take it with a bucket of salt (they seem a bit mad generally).
