In 1998 the Department of Physics at the University of Nottingham was struggling in both esearch and undergraduate recruitment. To remedy the situation it decided to add a new group in Astronomy. The main idea was that having astronomy in its portfolio would attract more students and boost its standing in the...
This is the test post mentioned yesterday which will self-destruct sometime today after I’ve been able to check if it worked. I’m sorry if it hit your email/RSS feed/etc and spammed things up. Basically, WordPress has had a long-standing bug which has led to me being unwilling to schedule posts in advance because...
Here was are. Even though full seven months will soon be behind us, the mid-year slide now begins. So you take the little day trips in the sun instead of those little afternoon naps that you might have had in June, back when there was plenty of time. Have you had enough ice cream yet? No, have more. Go get some! You...
I've recently been utilising and customising Claude Code more - rather than just sticking with what comes out of the box.

Even if I didn’t have a working drive, I would have collected the media simply because I could – even when there’s no practical value to having it nowadays. It’s always fascinating to unearth something old and answer a curiosity from childhood,...
Welcome to a Thursday Pressing Concerns! We have two albums coming out tomorrow, July 31st (from Mopar Stars and Bondo), plus two albums that came out earlier this week (from Cheekface and Grass Jaw). Check them out below, and if you missed Monday’s blog post (featuring Josaleigh Pollett, Nocturnal Prose, Picastro,...
Since my contracts wrapped up at the end of June, I’ve been using some of my suddenly free time to walk more. My part of town is technically walkable, but walking anywhere involves a busy four-lane artery and no shade on hot days. Fortunately, my part of town has a couple of fantastic parks with trails. One of them...
According to legend the Pythagoreans were devastated when they discovered that the diagonal of a unit square is an irrational number, because they believed that the natural numbers were the building bricks of the cosmos. It is even said that they murdered the man, who made the discovery. It wasn’t just the...
