Thoughts and London trip

[azekeil]

A while after watching the ten dimensions thing again (which is very cool IMHO), a thought came to me. As far as I'm aware a 3 (or more) body gravity model is unsolvable as far as we know. The interactions between the bodies as they progress in their orbits are different at every moment. But, would it be solvable if we considered the bodies as 4 dimensional objects, i.e. including time? Or perhaps if you include the 5^th dimension which includes variations on those timelines? I'm not a mathematician, but I know some of you are more that way inclined. I imagine they are, but I'm not sure we've invented a method of representing and understanding the equations involved.

I met Vipul (of Vipul's Razor) today. I guess this is the geek equivalent of a celebrity. He was a very suave shaven-headed Indian chap dressed all in black, and of course knew his stuff. I have his business card (and therefore email address *grin*).

At lunch time I left the London office and wandered around, popping first into a strange toy shop / museum. Nice to see bizarre and quaint things still exist. :)

ahhh. yes. i had that experience at HOPE last year. a friend kept talking to other people as they showed up, and then bringing them into the conversation, with comments like "you and Matt know each other, right?". Turns out I was having a conversation with Matt Blaze and Fyodor. I find this out afterwards, and tell my friend "it's a good job you didn't make clear who they were ahead of time, otherwise I'd probably have done the fanboy bit, rather than swapping amusing anecdotes about poor security practices."

Then I got Fyodor trashed at the pub :)

Heh. I knew who he was well in advance. Luckily I am good at convincing myself they are just human like me, just clever ones in the right place at the right time :)

Forward spam to Vipul with the subject "Just testing" ;)

Heya, how are you? Why the long absence?

Saw your watery troubles - hope you didn't lose too much!

Things are going well thanks :)

been playing lots of WoW innit :D lol

The main thing that was affected was the fact that we have a storage room just off of the underground garages, alot of things in there got wrecked by the flood water - luckily it was fresh water though!

The car also got it too, the footwells were all sodden and while the electrics worked and the engine turned over there are some alarming noises when it's running. It's been taken off to a garage to be looked at, we should hear from them today about what the damage is.

Luckily Bristol Water are accepting full liability and have agreed to cover any losses. we also have a free hire car for 14 days from enterprise.

On a completly unrelated note to this post (sorry!) I have added you as a friend now, as we have now met each other, hope that's okay :)

Yeah that's cool - that's what I do too. Good to have you on board :)
