![]() ![]() The movies make dodging bullets look easy, but I guess ion bolts are a bit more difficult to dodge, probably because of magnetic fields or whatever. ![]() Somewhere between the first and second etcetera.Ĭurrently, I am riding on my wing board that looks like the love child between an A-10 Thunderbolt and SR-71 Blackbird, flying away from a very angry flying SAMAS power suit of the Coalition and trying to avoid getting shot. But thankfully, a Cyberknight intervenes, saves your life, expands your Techno-Wizard abilities, etcetera, etcetera. Like most people who are adopted that were raised by some kind folks who couldn’t have children, they have a series of unfortunate events where your second parents are murdered by the Coalition’s deadboys who bust in, kill them and claim that you are a threat to every human being and try to kill you also. Quick note, my name is Simon, no last name. I am really starting to regret some serious life choices at the moment. I will probably decide on PostDocs/future plans.April 11th, 108 P.A.I will get a paper written (and hopefully published).It'll give me an excuse to use my new Mason Cash mixing bowl and silicon utensils :D PhD I'm 'contractually obliged' to make cakes until March sometime once a week so expect more cake making. I will definitely airsoft more next year!.There will be more sotumes later in the year :).I intend to get down to 13 stone for Project Reynolds and then down to 12½ stone by October.This Project will be finished by mid-February. Project Reynolds has a slight delay due to the party being moved back.ManSSAGO is hosting the Manchester 2013 Cartoon Rally in February which I intend to have a costume for (I'm thinking Inspector Gadget).There will be some cryptic updates to Project 0 soon!.No particular promises here but expect some more $latex LaTeX$ and Linux stuff along with anything interesting I find out :) Tailor Having survived the apocalypse let's have a few New Year's Resolutions: Tinker I got featured on which was awesome! This is thanks to the Great British Tea Test 2012 :) On to 2013! I drank lots of tea and so it was a good year :) I also made an advent calendar full of alternative Christmas songs :) Tea I reviewed a board game based on a TV show you might just have heard of. I've also started looking into PostDoc options. I've had a placement at AstraZeneca which has been very useful and is still on going. Also there was the annual Pudding Party! PhD I didn't do much in the way of Airsoft this year :( Spongeĭue to foolishly agreeing to bake a cake for every CAOS rehearsal in order to become Social Secretary I have baked a lot of cakes this year. The main event was Project Thor which was a lot of fun and helped keep me in shape. I've also spent a fair amount of time learning $latex LaTeX$. I upgraded to Windows 8 and enjoyed it (it hasn't pissed me off yet!). I've messed about with Linux and Windows. It's been a lot of fun and I'm definitely here to stay :) I've managed the majority of my 3,000 odd views this year :) So this is my first proper year of blogging (I posted a few things before but wasn't really regular at all). That Was The Year That Was!įirstly WordPress have provided this nice summary of my year in blogging: In which I look back on a year (ish) of blogging and look ahead to 2013. The thesis is currently 122 pages long with 29,206 words and 154,203 characters. I do procrastinate (though usually with other jobs I need to get done) and this brilliant article explains why that's helpful: State of the Thesis So I'm in full thesis writing mode at the moment but that doesn't mean I'm constantly writing. Enroll on another marathon/Tough Mudder.I'm going to start posting the one year goals each January instead of having fixed New Year's Resolutions. These are my goals for the next 10 years. This isn't entirely a new leaf it's just me reminding myself to get back to what I was doing and hopefully take it further. Why Tom 3.5? Well my last fitness drive was Tom 3.0. I'm thinking my next "ridiculous challenge" should either be Tough Mudder or an ultra marathon (~40 miles not one of the 100 mile ones). Expect a longer post in about 2 weeks time about how things are going. I'm back on the old horse having started running everyday again and I've rejoined the gym. I need a new ridiculous goal but first I need to get back to my old fitness levels. So once again I am unhappy with my level of physical fitness having let it slide a lot with work and other stress getting in the way. In which I talk about fitness and the road ahead. ![]()
