Man, Robert Fripp is a brutal technician. He should release a solo album called "Yeah, Seriously".

Haha. Oh Aaron. Catfight On A Meatpie.

Aaron says:
its is

i slept on t train floooor
Aaron says:
it was suprisingl good
Haz says:
u lovable scramp
Aaron says:
haha
Aaron says:
chairs r retro anyway

I haven't slept on the floor of a train but I've been on the floor of those Newcastle ones, spewing excess beer down the gap in the floor between carriages. That was one of my lower moments but I tried to class it up by listening to Mingus while it happened.

word to that

I'm writing these songs on bass that are hard as to play, it's gonna be top practise.

cabtab

I have a headless bass in front of me.

The higher frets for the D and G strings (>17) are scalloped, it's quite an axe.

Got any pics? Sounds gnarly.

i slept in paddingon station waiting for my train. i got there at 1:07 barely missing the 1:05 train. i eventually caught the 11:45am train after a nice sleep in the toilets :D

Haha Evan wins.

What did you do, lock yourself in a cubicle?

Except, this is black body, and the scalloped frets. (It belongs to a friend of my brother's who has been playing bass with him for a while now, I don't know much about it).

Radical.

haha yeah. sat down to take a piss and fell asleep


my mate has a jackson with all the frets scalloped its hardcore shredz beast

I've never played a scalloped guitar.

I remember a funny pic from ages ago were some guy had done a home scalloping job and basically taking ice-cream scoop sized chunks out of his neck. It was like a series of gently rolling hills except gently rolling hills aren't a ruined guitar.

The scallops here are quite deep, about half-way into the fret I think.

Still, sounds amazing, and the tuning is amazingly solid, in the 5 years I've known the guy who owns this bass, I know of 1 time he has re-tuned it, and that was replacing the strings.

i could go some scallops right now, with chicken salt

theres a take away shop two doors down might be my lunch tommorow

Yeah potato scallops are awesome.

I untune and tune my bass pretty much every day but that's for ear practise.

I dunno what I'll hit up for lunch tomorrow, I might be up all night 'cause I napped during the cricket but at least I'll be beating the heat.

I might be up all night too!
I ****ing hate the heat.
Argh, Norway here I come.

Reading a book by Brian Clegg about the history of Infinity.
Very detailed analysis (in the historical context), is quite refreshing after reading a few in similar topics which only touch upon what happened....

How can infinity have a history as such? Or is it like, the history of the evolution of man's concept of infinity in science/philosophy?

The later :)

I can do most maths pretty easily, most of it is automated substitution, so anything could do it. However, I want to know *what* I am doing, *why* I am doing it this way, for instance.
Unfortunately, in school I was just sort of taught the brute force way of doing maths, which is cool, just do the work, don't ask questions. (looking back, the way in which I "complained" about maths back at school was rather ridiculous, but with the advantage of foresight, I can actually see what I meant).

But it's left me with such a huge gap, which makes me uncomfortable, so I have to know more.

Oh yeah, evolution of mathemetical processes?

I did alright in maths until like year 9 when my class had this teacher who was really hard to learn off. It totally derailed my mathematical learning and I (and a lot of the rest of the class) never fully recovered. That was the first time I ever failed an exam. Doesn't happen often.

Basically, the evolution of mathematical process is so interesting to me, because we have repeated the same series of steps so many times (to the point, we can identify a time of crisis, but can't direct us where to go next).

I top-scored maths in year 7 (AME), and then the car accident, after which I was placed in Level 3 maths (lowest of low), and didn't get AME math at college as a result, I did year 11 AM, and for year 12 dropped to straight tertiary maths.

It wouldn't be for another 3 years that I would look at an equation again :p
But, through the integral connection of maths and programming, the logic of maths never left me, where-as most other students in my position (who didn't have the programming influence) would have long forgotten maths.

(First semester this year, first time I had done maths in a long time, took me about 2 weeks of "wtfing" before I came up with anything).

I'm sorry, I'm very bakefaced and just like waffling.

Hectic. I dropped maths after Year 10 'cause I just couldn't do it. I liked the probability stuff but other than that I was as useless as a chocolate kettle.

I swear, there must be something taught wrong about maths, it really is so simple.

I can do simple maths but I just haven't put it any serious time to learn any of the complicated stuff. It's like anything I suppose.

But really, advanced maths is just algebra.
We just abstract more of the problem into variables, through the logic of higher-order, we build sets of functions, which can further be passed to functions as arguments, and so on.

The biggest problem with maths is getting familiar with the terminology.

Yes, a machine couldn't do original mathematical research, but for most stuff, a Turing machine (the dumbest of dumb) would suffice.
