Welcome to the index page of the amazing Ongar site. Although initially set up to promote the election
of a small toy monkey as Prime Minister of Great Britain, the site is now
expanding to track some of the
other projects that I have run or am running over the next year. There's a copy of my Ph.D. thesis in PDF here - if you do find yourself wanting to have a look at it, I recommend chapter 5. It's on notions of proof. I found an old copy of some poetry I wrote when I was in my second year at college. It's called A Pint of Bitterness. I think I might have been a little bit down when I wrote it. Look at the size of this Nice'N'Spicy NikNak I found the other day. That's five inches of crispy corn snack! ![]() I ran a quiz night in the King Street Run every Tuesday for 16 weeks, raising £205 for cancer charities. Jon and I decided that it was time we made some cheese. We also made some hard cheese; details now on the site. I saw a short clip on the Lord of the Rings DVD disc 2 about making chainmail, and decided that Ongar needed some too. We decided to explore the upper part of the river Cam by inflatable dingy. Above Grantchester the river Rhee and the river Granta join to form the Cam - we chose the Rhee and made it all the way to Harston. The Comberton WiFi project is now complete. Jon and I can send data to each other at an effective rate of 0.6 Mbps. Plenty for networked games, playing mp3s and so on. I've also put up some more musings on wireless stuff. I've completed my account of the maiden voyage of the Ongar. General summary: a success. However, I have since sold it because the river rate charged by the conservators of the Cam was far too high. |
