No messing about today, lads - I missed the weekly poast last Friday, because reasons (mostly legitimate and to do with a crushing workload), so you get a double-scoop today. I will eventually have...

It has been a quite mad few days, which put a serious spanner in my ability to do anything much other than go to meetings, eat, sleep, and do my actual day job during very odd hours. A big part of...

Yes, I know, it is not actually Friday. The past week was (of course) stupidly busy, and while I realise that is a rather worn excuse, the fact is, when you are up until past midnight trying to get...

Another week down, and what a busy one it was, eh? The assassination attempt on the Trumpasaur has been the dominant feature in all the headlines, and deservedly so. The more that we know about the...

For those who have never read Edwin Abbott's mathematical fantasy, Flatland, it is well worth a look. You can read a lot of interesting and wacky ideas into it - one of the conventional takes on the...

Having already written roughly half a week's worth of stuff in the space of a few hours, I will refrain from making this a big long diatribe. Suffice to say, we are living through an age of...

I find myself watching Starship Troopers - the 1997 Paul Verhoeven film - once again, for reasons that rather escape me at the moment. The interesting thing about that movie is, provided you ignore...
