long time no speak
just a quick ping from me that im still alive and thinking about life the universe and why it never snows in manchester.
havent posted in ages and dont realy know why. is this experiment braking down so quickly? yet another deserted blog started because someone believed his/her opinions where so great and intresting that it was worth sharing them? i dont know and probably there are as many posts like this as there are deserted blogs.
i wonder if blogs will turn into a vast ressource for psychology students and researchers. would have the nice effect of cutting down on the amount of (junk) mail i receive on my uni address, bloody all@manchester.ac.uk mailing list and no way of getting out of it as they use it for important things to. who can i complain to about this? or is this part of the deal, as seeing ads when using a freemail account?
took out donald knuth the art of computer programming today wanted to read that book for ages, had a quick browse and seems to be a good choice as a "nite nite tim" book.
actually i took out a load of books durign the last few days and still dont like the main library. why is Fred K. Foobar a different author then Fred Kennedy Foobar and is Ted J. Smith realy someone else then Ted J Smith? is it only me? Do other users experience the same problem or am I just spoiled by google and its AI and expected the libary catalouge be as smart as google. Another point i cant get my head around is why is the shelf with the 005.xxx books directly after the shelf with books having a number starting from 500.xxx ? the shelfe before that luckily has 505-510 on it so at least there the order seems to make sense. also after climbing the stairs and going through the doors how do I now that i have to turn left and go past shelves numbered with letters, they contain periodicals i believe, to get somewhere near to the 505-510 shelve which then magicly turns into the shelf with donald knuth on it. is it just a bit like documentation in a open source project? noone cares because all teh regular users know where to go and newbies find out quickly and its jsut not worth it? IMHO still this isnt an excuse. also this book numbering is realy confusing. 504.1 504.2 504.21 504.3 , hey since when is 21 smaller then 3 ? guess that happens when books are added after the .3 numbers were started but it gets me everytime im looking for a .21 book....wander of to the end of the shelf just to find myself looking at totaly different books.
just improve the searchign facilities and put up some signs in this place! wonder noone has got seriously lost in that place before!
garrit and steffi are coming to visit me, yes!the only reason why they are getting on a plane and coming to this weird place, where cars drive on the wrong side of the road and it never snows is me. unbelievable, ill try and make them drunk and interogate them, with torture, oh no i mean softing up for intoregation, dont say the evil T word, just round the corner in thsi country i might get the home secretary to issue a house arrest warrant for these two and find otu why they realy came to manchester. perhaps they want to meet some al kaida ppl in rusholme, afterall its full of them, who else could run "curry mile"?there has to be a mod behind all those kebab &curry places. perhaps soem serious money laundring and all that police just before xmas wasnt here because they lifted the natwest bank but because of some terror raid.....who knows
good fight, good nite
