praxeological

Stick your arm straight out in front of you. Then move your arm anti-clockwise at – as near as possible – a smooth fixed speed. Find out the time for which your arm was exactly at a point P. 

As delta x (the very small value for which your arm was at that particular point P) tends to zero, then the frequency density calculations with points P₁, P₂, P₃, etc. will tend towards 1/0. Of course, nothing can ever be divided by 0, so therefore your arm never really moved at all…

Dropout takes on snooker legend

Guess where I was on Monday/Tuesday ……yeah well everyone else is busy and it’s too boring at home. Anyway, I was playing on a £25-£50 game and after a decent run I decided to switch table. Simon, 1 of the dealers, started up a £50 round of each. That is, 4 rounds of Hold'em, then 4 rounds of Omaha. So I joined and was doing OK, with 6 players on the table it was a good laugh with great banter.

After about half an hour, a new player came along and took the seat directly beside me. Though he was no ordinary player. It was none other than 6 times snooker world champion STEVE DAVIS!!!. Yeah, that’s right; I played poker against a legend. But it was damn hard to get any money off him; he’s a super rock, folding nearly all his hands. He’s a very nice guy, down-to-earth, not a bad word to say about him.

Moving on to Tuesday, I reached the final table of the £20 freezeout. I finished 8^th. My final hand was A-Q on the button. I ran into A-K small blind and 7-7 big blind. Ouch.

Gonna take a week break from there, apply for a job and see where fate takes me. Have a great weekend people!!

Had three jobs earlier this week, now down to one. Unfortunately the remaining one is a crummy supermarket job that a 16 year old kid could do, so it's good to see university education being so worthwhile! On the other hand, money's tight, so I don't have an option.

The Masters course is going quite well although it is slow and uninspiring in places. Tonight's lecture was a prime example, in which the lecturer's sole teaching method was to read verbatim off handouts. Incredibly boring.

Feel like pouring myself a drink, collapsing into bed and watching Scrubs, Simpsons or something comedic...

The general election is a long way off but I sincerely hope that the Conservatives win. Yes, the party has faults, but these pale into insignificance when you consider the nanny-state arrogance pervading the present government. It seems people around the country agree:

1) The few die-hard Labour supporters on here, who keep harping on about "people have forgotten the horrors of the Tory years" are living in a dream world. A lot of new voters, who have been able to vote only under Labour have no idea how comparatively clean the Tories were compared to the sleaze, scandal and spin of New Labour. I can remember vividly the good, and the bad points of the Tory years, and I know which one I would rather live under. At least we would have a little more control over our own destiny, immigration would be under scrutiny, crime would be lower due to tougher sentencing.

2) Everyone knows labour is a complete joke! What i can't get me head round is why did the people of this country vote them back in last year?

The problems we have now haven't just crept up on us now, they were there for all to see before the election.

Next time do the country a favour and give labour the boot

3) I find it totally incomprehensible that they stand up with pride. They should be thoroughly ashamed of the damage they have done to this country and its people with their greed, arrogance and downright incompetence. Blair and his cronies will long be remembered as a bunch of destructive asset strippers
