Constant Variation

Its been far too long since I’ve written a post. In my defence I started teaching again last week, and of course there was the kind of small preparations and problems to take care off that always end up taking more time than they have any right to. Also in my defence I’ve been re-experiencing the strange cadence of thesis writing. A day or two ago I was trying to think of inventive ways to represent the thesis in a videogame mod so I could thus shoot the damn thing or something; today I’ve been quite enjoying sorting out (hopefully) some of the problems I had. Or maybe I’m just moody from not sleeping well.

Whilst doing a google to check what accessories are available for my new phone (note: not actual size) last week, I found out that it also has an accelerometer that I didn’t know about. Of course I did the first thing any reasonable person would have done, and downloaded an application that makes lightsabre sounds as you swing the phone around. Yes its naff.
