Pretty sure that's a burnin'.

# Not true
It's a law of the universe that you will only be offered apple pie when you are already full. You will also then proceed to eat it anyway and end up feeling bloated and with an unfocussed sense of guilt.

Coffee and dessert first. Then main course. Eat all the meat and a few potatoes and leave all the veg when you're full

note: Not to sure if existentialism is correct. post me a wiki link to the correct one and I'll read that too.

# Gah.
Had enough science this week. Last Friday, I had my first look at Python and now a week later, I've co-written a simluation program that does least squares fitting for a previously unsolvable problem. My head hurts and my eyes are sore from staring at computer screens.

# This is going to be the new office slogan.
It's really not too bad - it's just the mistakes I've made that make it hard work. I've not done any programming before, so I'm really quite pleased. It's running at the moment and it's the first time I've heard this computer's fan running...

# I'm rubbish at Python
other than shell scripts it's the only scripting language I've used any of -- but in the end I just use Fortran and forget about it, like the rest of my field. That's why we're stuck in 1980 or so. I should probably make more of an effort though.

Or Perl. Or Ruby. Or any of these things. Javascript. That looks "fun".

# I have no idea.
I'm just mashing keys until it does what I want, which is seldom. The program itself works fine now, but the results are a bit off. More due to intractable errors between model and reality, but meh, had to give it a try. If it gets even half-way there, I've booked myself a ticket to a conference in China.

# I wonder why Islam is so coy about Mohammed
It's almost like they don't want to see a picture of the prophet getting it on with his nine year old bride. Such a picture is surely very spiritually uplifting.

I wonder how he gets along with the cat in such a confined space.

But if I open the box to peek, the space is no longer confined.

I fear that this will keep me contemplating for years.
