Modelling a system to be implemented as software often requires resorting to metaphors, imaginatively named design patterns and other niceties for describing problems.

This is what happens when you bring the difficulties of implementation back into the original metaphor... http://imrannazar.com/Shooting-Yourself-in-the-Foot-Part-Two

Tonight I watched a film which had previously passed beneath my radar, and made me feel very happy about the world in which we live.

Erin Brockovich is a film based on the true story of a real Erin, illuminating a tale of David vs Goliath concerning the legal case against Pacific Gas and Electric Company for ground water pollution over three decades in Hinckley, California.

After the departure of Super Aguri, the battle against the wooden spoon became a little dull. With the extensive rule changes of 2009 pissing all over the form book, everything has become a little less predictable.

After spooning out the foam from a typical Large Latte at Wetherspoons, this is how much beverage remains. Not bad for £1.29 though...

Tonight, my Final Year BSc project was mostly fuelled by Weston's Cider, via Wetherspoons. Whilst it is probably detrimental to my health, I somehow find working in an alcohol-affected state more productive than working in a sober state.

The speed of light is not absolute. This causes phenomena including refraction and Čerenkov radiation, which has tickled my fancy by producing a lovely shade of blue...

After a while running on a lean, mean, written-in-notepad-by-me style CMS, I decided that reinventing the wheel was not something I should be seeking to do. This new face of emyrderfel.co.uk is powered by Drupal 6, which I chose partly due to being frustrated by systems such as Mambo, and partly due to the extensibility of the system. I hope to allow the site to evolve from its previous semi-static state over the next few months, maybe pulling in content from other sites I use day-to -day.
