Discover Maths for chemists

PJ — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 20:39:55 +0000

Lovingly known as DM4C at EdComs Towers, we went live with our latest project today. A bit of a departure as it’s more of a web app than an educational resource - a search engine to assist students to find chemistry resources from maths search terms and vice-versa.

What am I twittering on about?

PJ — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 09:42:23 +0000

Well, after my first attempt at Twittering last July, I’ve finally ‘got’ twittering. It’s just about the right format to hold my (very limited) attention. 140 characters - perfect. That’s not to say I’m a prolific tweeter, but I do like to post the odd tweet and lurk around some of the great and the good.
It’s also prompted me to try and post some of the more interesting destinations I find online. I’ll aim to post them here too at the end of every week as a reminder.
The last (and first) 2 I’ve posted are http://tinyurl.com/5ed5hc and http://tinyurl.com/6glx6z
Enjoy!

Really do…

…need to update my theme here. It’s all very well working on other people’s websites, but it does mean you totally ignore your own for months on end, and in the case of this ‘ere one - nearly a year. Disgraceful, especially now that you can use Gears etc… maybe twittering’s the way to go too… Hmmm

May 16th. The countdown’s begun and we’re actually starting to think about training.
Sal, Jack and I signed up for the Moonwalk last year - a marathon distance walk through the night, starting at around midnight.
We all get to wear pinks bars and tutus (very British) and we’re really looking forward to getting into the spirit of things. More details to follow as the training starts in earnest.

First few days at Praz

We made it down here in really good time - so good in fact that the town was shut, so we managed to grab a few hours sleep in an underground car park!
We’ve had a few days practice on the slopes now and have even managed a ‘proper’ slope today - went down a green run - scary, but good fun.

11 Miler today

PJ — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 22:08:11 +0000

Shocking weather this morning. Alarm went off a bit too early and this combined with the very heavy rain meant that I elected not to go running, rather defer to the afternoon.

Good decision as it turned out.

So, JC and I set off for an 11 mile run/cycle which tested my knees and his gears. We stopped in Graffham to pose:

Route on Sanoodi as ever.

Well, haven’t posted for ages, and thought I’d try and get back into the habit. Just got back from a great run with JC in tow - dragged him up Bex hill, but it was worth it for the run down Easebourne Street - route is on Sanoodi (http://www.sanoodi.com/route/philjclarke/110517/25-11-2007/). Then we popped into the Spread for a quick swim - excellent.

AND we won our match this morning - 3-2 against Worthing Rebels, with Ben scoring too!

Another ‘fit it in’ run today - not too much time again, so we ran out on the quick 5K route. DP was a man on a mission, and kept the pace up (no doubt aiming for a PB this Sunday). It made me realise that I haven’t been pushing my runs too hard recently - more sitting in a comfort zone where pace is concerened - this is great as I’m training for distance really rather than solely speed, but I do need to pick up the pace a bit… The London 10K looms this Sunday and it would be good to get a time around 50 minutes…
Time: 26m 23s

It was really wet today. All day.

It was also the day we went to Goodwood (piccys over at Flickr). We had a good time, but the rain certainly dampened things a little. Emphasis was more on keeping going between attractions rather than basking in the sun and watching the worlds best drivers climb a hill in West Sussex. We did try the latter, but it wasn’t too much fun.

Bit of a longer run today - up and out at 8am, and kind of started off without knowing where I really wanted to go (not a good idea) so just ran for a bit, and everytime I thought I knew where I was going to go I seemed to change my mind when the turning point came to follow the route I intended.

Anyway, I ended up doing a longer run than usual, which was quite encouraging as I didn’t feel too bad afterwards. Also managed to bag a piccy of a fantastic view on the Bepton stretch of the run.

Time: 1h 34m
