:: The-way-to-the-centre ::Who? Ian currently spends his days in an office affectionately known as the chicken shed where he designs things and spends time on the web imagining being anyhwere else. Out of hours he can be found living in a two-bedroom semi near Coventry decorated in the 'Scandanavian Style' (i.e. mostly empty). At night, if the sky is clear he is often seen peering through a telescope a faint fuzzy things many light years away. |

:: :: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 :: .org.uk I have finally jumped ship and taken the-way-to-the-centre here.:: Monday, June 21, 2004 :: spaceshipone Any time now, SpaceShipOne is going to atempt to be the first non-government funded vehicle to reach 100km altitude. While not capable of orbit (which would require 200km or higher) it will still be a major acheivement for what is a small company. Oh, and the design of SpaceShipOne and its carrier WhiteKnight are seriously cool. I really hope it works.:: Thursday, June 17, 2004 :: countdown Its only 2.5 hours until England play somebody at football. This is a good thing because::: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 :: music for telemarketers Learn to play a song using the number keys on the telephone. When a telephone solicitor calls, play it for them.:: Monday, June 14, 2004 :: precision engineering On April 20th this year NASA launched Gravity Probe B (GP-B) to test Einstein's general theory of relativity. The probe will use gyroscopes to attempt to measure the distortion of space caused by the mass of the earth.:: Friday, June 11, 2004 :: robo-spidey An incredibly cool wall climbing robot. I like the way its motion is very fluid, similar to that of a skilled rock climber. Admittedly it does have some advantages such as super-articulated joints and not having defined arms and legs (if you watch the clips, one of the legs becomes an arm and it keeps climbing).:: Thursday, June 10, 2004 :: the secret life of plants Even plants have their own blogs now.hot and hotter Recent weather has reconfirmed what I knew already - I don't do hot weather. I much prefer a nice sunny day at 0 degrees C than one at 30 degrees. It should be an interesting trip to China in a months time when the mean July temperature is 25C an its monsoon season.:: Sunday, June 06, 2004 :: lookee lookee Have spent some of my weekend trying to learn how to design a half decent new template. As I am planning to migrate to Wordpress fully, the template is over here. Surprisingly I seem to be able to understand CSS and whats going on. Apologies for the any really annoying adverts that appear, it would probably be under its own domain and hosting except for the fact that I found a six month overdue bill to a fossilised institution.
