Life is rather busy at the moment. Its kinda scary cause it feels like I'm working, which I guess I am. I have now started as a postgraduate student at the University of Birmingham (I need to update my about section). This now means that I have lots of work to do and also the dreaded teaching! Consequently this has meant I have been rather busy with my academic life and so my site has kinda taken the hit on content. I'm sure once I get back into the swing of things I will be able to keep the site nice and updated with random stuff. For now here is a fable (one of Aesop's), titled "the astronomer", that I should listen to when I go about my research:
An astronomer used to walk around outside every night to watch the stars. One time, as he was wandering on the outskirts of the city and gazing at the stars, he fell into a well. After hollering and crying for help, someone ran up to the well, and after listening to his story, remarked, "My good man, while you are trying to pry into the mysteries of heaven, you overlook the common objects that are under your feet."
