8th September 2010The Last Day Before the First Day of the Rest of My LifeMuch has happened since my last post, and I would have written about it to record my state of mind had circumstances been different. However, history did not differ from reality. Last Wednesday, just after I published the previous post, Apple announced a stunningly cool new iPod touch. It was everything I hoped it would be, and I hope to buy one in the near future (before Christmas). I hope you enjoy yours Ruairidh. As I had expected, the Terms and Conditions of Apple's Back to School offer restricted my choice to previous generation iPods (the iPod classic was unchanged, meaning ...

1st September 2010Buying a ComputerThe one thing my blog needs is an editor to write the titles. Other than that, I'm sorted. I'm going to university in less than 3 weeks ((Jesus FUCK.)) and I need a computer. What should I get? I've known for ages what I want ((Except for unlimited money and unlimited everything else that I want.)), but I keep thinking whether or not it's right for me. Do I even need my own computer at university? Yes, I would use the fuck out of it and it would make many things in my life easier. Should I buy a desktop computer or ...

21st August 2010We’re going through changesI don't think I can top my previous extremely exciting post, so I'm not even going to try. Instead, have a treat: a new look for my blog. Clearly I've not done much. I've adjusted the alignments of various sections and I've changed a few colours around, and that's about it. I hated the old dark grey background - I don't know why I ever chose it - so I've gone back to something closer to the original design of the template. Without the dark background, the light header was just too much. White and light greys everywhere? That's just cruel. To ...

19th August 2010Photography and MeI'm a photographer. By that I mean I take photographs, like this one below: It's one of my favourite recent photos, though I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because it's in focus, quite well composed, I think the colours work well together (they're all quite pastelly) and there's an animal in it that didn't flee by the time I had my camera ready. Also it was 4th July. I tend not to think of myself as a photographer, though. I'm more a person who takes photos. In my mind, there are three types of photographers: Casual snappers like me, for whom photography is ...

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 ...

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.
