Why is a raven like a writing desk?

Thoughts both confusing and enlightening.

Well, I’ve finished with the easy bit. I’ve written code to grab a frame from the webcam and do a bit of postprocessing. The postprocessing looks like a good step towards making barcode recognition easier. I’m only working on this at nights so far, so I figure coping with the…

A maths diversion

One of my colleagues came into my office the other day, and said to me: If p is prime and greater than 3, prove that p² – 1 is divisible by 24. Interested readers might want to try this for themselves: it’s not particularly difficult. Of course I started in…

So, not only did the site get severely overloaded the first couple of days it was up (never saw that one coming!), but they appear to have hired a 13 year-old myspace aficionado to design the thing. Honestly, life’s too short to waste time on this. I think I have…

    He's GORGEOUS. Lovely to see pics of the newly-expanded Deane family. Wish we could come round with a big shepherds pie, give you all hugs and do the washing up. The thought is there! Emily xxx

    Yes – I am very proud of her. Labour was intense – waters broke at 5.30am Tuesday, went to hospital at 5.30pm, laboured overnight and into Wednesday, and stage 2 (fully dilated – pushing) started around 2pm. After 3 hours of pushing, he wasn't coming out. He never turned from OP (head down, but facing forward rather than backward) despite everything we'd done before and during labour, so a c-section was the final option.

    Oh and did I mention that she didn't have any pain meds for the whole labour (except finally an epidural the c-section, obviously)?

    The only meds during labour were antibiotics, which is normal when labour starts with water breaking, especially if it goes long.

    What a heroine – good on yer Becky for doing it on endorphins alone! As a fellow “prolonged second-stager” (I too pushed for 3 hours while my son failed to get the hint and get moving) I salute you. These big bouncing boys with Cambridge-compsci-sized brains… what can I say!! They need a big skull to accommodate that much grey matter – unfortunately for us mummies 🙂
