22nd September 2010Oh NoAnd self consciousness sinks in. Guys who I know (hi Dave!) have found out about my blog, so now I'm going to have to defend it in person rather than against abstract concepts (hi WiBu!).

27th July 2010Selling Oranges or LemonsHello Internet. I'm back. This is the first time in 4 months that I've been home without having something gobbling up most of my time and attention. It started in late March when Will and his girlfriend visited, and then my nephew ((Back then he was about 12 weeks old.)) and his parents came up to Perth too ((My eldest sister and brother-in-law, a great couple.)). I don't care what other people do, but when there's a family gathering going on, I try to spend as much time with everyone as possible. If there's a book I really want to read or ...

It's about his journey as an improving writer, and how you need a reference point (your past work) so that you can see if you're improving (by comparing it to your current work). It's sensible stuff, and a good idea ((One so good that I've had it myself.)). I think I'm quite similar to Murray, both in character and situation. I've considered ...

20th January 2010The Relentless March of TimeHello everyone. It's me again (Wilf). I'm glad to be back. There you go. OK. Yep. That's what I came up with for a title. "The Relentless March of Time". What is time? Why does it run the way that it does? What are the implications of time dilation, and the rest of relativity? Why doesn't it in the opposite direction, with effect proceeding cause? Would it ever be possible for time to run in a different way, perhaps in a different universe? Could a universe exist without a temporal ((Shit. I'm sorry and embarrassed to say this, but I had ...

About Wilf's Blog
I'm a mathematician, but apart from that, I'm a fairly normal guy. I used to write a blog - this blog. I write (wrote) about whatever is on my mind. It can get quite personal sometimes.
