Palfrey's life

• I love Steve Bells' portrayals of Michael Howard as a vampire


• Hungry Hungry Hippos in later life


• The Man Date (I'd draw the line at restaurants, unless there's a particularly interesting new one, but cinemas and art galleries are fair game EDIT: I've been on several things that could be counted as man-dates at restaurants, so damned if I know why I said that)

After my busy last week, I've now got a busy this week :-( 4 modules running this quarter (I'd forgotten what 6 hours of lectures felt like), building demos so that Koen can talk to the MKBs (SMEs in english) today, learning VHDL, attempting to properly complete this paper, and all that tends to be a bit exhausting.

On the plus side I got to have 2 hours today listening to the crazy bouncy greek head of CE talking about vector processors, and about the machine he wants a bunch of MSc students to build to get into the Top500 with the aid of some cutting-edge chips from Cray. This would be a very fun thing, but unfortunately I have too many other things on my time already (+a mostly complete MSc thesis already), so this isn't really an option. Oh well.
