...and some information to help you live in it...
A little bit about me1
At the beginning?
If I did that I think it would take too long, and I'd lose you interest somewhere around the end of my first week. And so instead here follows a very brief summary of the more interesting events of my life so far..
I grew up in a small town in Essex, called Coggeshall2, went to a local primary school, Colchester Royal Grammar School(here's what I was like when I left) and then, aged 19, started university. I am in my first year, studying medicine at Cambridge, specifically at Gonville and Caius3 College. There are currently two pages about the college- A Brief History of Caius" and a Life at Caius that I'm sure Catwoman will update soon. Alternatively you could view the following pages about pastimes at Caius, pennying and boat races.
Things that I like doing
Like every person that ever there was I enjoy a random mixture of vaguely amusing activities with some soul-building and enrichening4 pursuits. Here are some you may find informative:
Philosophy
I can't say I know exactly how to define my philosophy on life, when asked if the glass is half-empty or half-full I usually try to find some semiwitty reply that doesn't involve actually answering the question. Actually, thinking about it I usually try to answer questions this way- due my total lack of comedy however I fail. In addition i get totally confused by the whole "cogito ergo sum"5, I mean how is one supposed to know whether one is actually thinking, or just thinking that one is thinking? Or have I totally missed the point and both are actually the same thing? Who knows? Frankly; who cares?
Pages That Appear Useful
These pages are here mostly so that I can keep track of them!
List of smileys Does exactly what is says on the tin
Websafe coloursCode for pretty colours
A List of pictures to use on your pages
Codes for symbols- using symbols on your pages.
Things I've had published
This isn't as hard as it might seem- to get into simply write an article that is half decent and send it, in simple text preferably, to the team. The easiest way to get into the edited quide is to contribute to one of the Collaborative Topics. If I managed it, so can anyone.
