If our descendants might make simulations of lives like ours - a far from zero probability in my view - then we might be living in a simulation.

Scary - you should read this guide on how to survive in one.

Grr. Biz school interview went really well, and I find out this week, but still have to apply for other stuff in the mean time and the suspense is killing me !

In other news, a speculative approach to a seurity consultany firm may well pay off on August 12th :-)

Sorry, they weren't being updated over there --------->

They are now, and I think I have exorcised all trace of On's previous domain name in the process.

Update 14/8/02: But the static version of the pages are not picking it up. Bah. I've hit it again, and we'll see.

It's getting there....

Stage 1 - completed, The trees are down.

Thanks Dad for all your help. The saw was really useful! :-)

Stage 2 - Partially completed, Trees cut up. Big branches & trunks cut to size fot Tom's Parents Open Fire. The smaller bits cut into manageable sizes & we need to call the council on Monday to arrange collection.

Stage3 - Not started, Getting quotes on the new conservatory, confirming we can have the size and style that we want then getting quotes so we know how much we need to save. Then mark out (with string & nails, not candles again) the actual plan for the back garden so we can see how it all fits together.

Stage 4 - Not started, Whilst we (or builders)are ripping everything up to build the new conservatory we can also start killing the grass, digging out the pond and buying Paving stones & coloured gravel etc

Stage 5 - Not Started, finishing everything off paving slabs put in place, gravel with (possibly) it's walls and clearing the weeds from the guinnell way.

Well, Derby didn't come off (came 2nd from 5, apperently not enough client facing time !), but on the plus side I have an interview at the Manchester Buisness School this week :-)

Spent yesterday and Friday hacking and chopping in the back garden, we've now got much less tree, and a pile of branchs. And lots of hurting muscles :-)
