About

What is this site all about?

Well, until 3rd May or so, its mainly going to be a journal about my crash study of an Open University course called M366 – Natural and Artificial Intelligence.

I find myself in the somewhat extraordinary position of having achieved an average score of 96% for the coursework, but inexplicably failing the exam.

The resit is on the 3rd of May, so till then, expect to see some technical writing about AI.

I will be asking permission of the university to post the coursework on this site, however regardless of the outcome of those inquiries, the next 30 days will see a lot of activity on this blog, where I will be talking my way through each module I study.

In addition, I intend to merge the various blogs I have scattered over the web and consolidate them here. In essence, this site is intended to be an extension of who I am.

That means, there will be posts about robotics, android smartphone development, astronomy, physics and random musings, where I take a thought and push it as far as I can.

I tend to talk my way through problems, often taking intuitive leaps to a conclusion, which may not necessarily make sense immediately. It doesn’t need to make sense to anyone but me really, though I generally try to fill in the blanks for those who are bloody-minded enough to read to the end of a post.

Read, wonder, be bored, be fascinated, this is my place.
