I'm just some guy at edinburgh university. The email's nicholaw@dcs.ed.ac.uk .
I'm into:
- Anything computery/gadgetry (eg my Nokia 7110 or Psion 5)
- Linux - Free Software believer
- Programming Perl, C and other stuff, including Open Source/Free Software
- Reading an eclectic mix of stuff, favourites being Pterry, sci-fi,...
- Listening to Heavy Metal, Rock, and a weird combination of other genres
Last year I was studying CS and AI, which also involves doing some Maths, at Edinburgh University. However, while I liked the idea of AI, I didn't like the course, and quit AI in favour of Logic, a course by the Philosophy department Which is different. Time will tell whether it's interesting.

Well, it's an interesting course, but it could do with being less long. the lectures are boring because they go at such a low rate, explaining things slowly and clearly for philosophy students (well, you'd have to :-P ), but I've recontinued going to lectures because they're now given by a guy with a funky accent, which amuses me. I like. Actually, I think it would be hilarious listening to him lecture whilst stoned, and at about the right pace too...
time passes
Well, now I've finished taking that course. And the
lecturer turns out to be a really good lecturer; I'm currently taking another course
with him. Lectures of 10 people compared to around 100 really seem weird though.
