I can hardly wait till the remaining 53% of this film is downloaded. No, I’m not being a bad netizen (although I admit to downloading some stuff sometimes) – this documentary-style film is a legal bittorrent grassroots-level distribution coming directly from the producers.

More lessons
Lesson #n+1: ???…
Lesson #n+2: Faith! Have faith in God, in my friends, in myself. I talked about this two posts ago but already (and again) I was found wanting.
Furry brown aliens
Brain: Promise me something, Pinky. Never breed.
It’s just as well that our current small group seminar focus is on biological invasions. This morning, we have caught one of the world’s top 100 invasive species, and probably the #1 invasive alien in the public eye. That’s one less to worry about. So much for my [...]

Whatever comes, comes. There is nothing we can do to predict with any pinpoint accuracy. Better to spend the energy in preparing the mind and the heart, and to expect everything and anything. People change from circumstance to circumstance – let us embrace changes as a part of life, and accept circumstances for what they [...]

CEP PhD students launch green blog
The geeks of our department have started a new blog – one of the first-known community blogs in Imperial? Reading it makes my minds squirm, but since it is a valuable supplement to my current work, I shall faithfully subscribe to the blog. That, among others (yes, both this blog and John Adams’ were based [...]
Mus domesticus
To think that I’ve been outwitted by a mouse, not once but twice (and no doubt it won’t be the last, as detrimental as it may be to my ego). Just two weeks after Viv blogged about the return of the mice in her flat, Xiao spotted one in our kitchen a few nights ago. [...]
What came through the departmental [e-]mail
I’ve a feeling that I’m only inviting uninvited responses and spam from posting this. I might take this off, depending on the reactions. This isn’t something that’s appropriate for my blog!

Rediscovering some old joys
If I ran a WordPress blog three years ago, I might very well have a special category dedicated to ‘The Gamer’. In Linstead, it was pretty much the de facto post-dinner activity (of course, only after Simpsons and/or foosball and/or [sometimes] work). CS, Starcraft, the likes. When my old-old-Dell couldn’t support the multiplayer load, I [...]
Two films
Last night – The Prestige. I loved the movie – it was one of those which forces you to think; the suspense keeps you going right till the end when in the last few minutes, everything clicks together and you go “ahhh…”. Cinematically beautiful and artistically directed as well. I believe it’s more than [...]
