Welcome to Earth, Enjoy Your Stay :)
Salutations, fellow sentients,Permit me to introduce me. I’m a newbie researcher for that wholly remarkable site, h2g2! Ben’s the name. I Dubbed myself coatlender because I tend to do nice-but-dim things like offer my coat to perfect strangers passing me in the street1. I’m 20 and I hail from the seaside town of Bangor, amid the polluted beaches of eastern Northern Ireland. It’s 19:26 at time of writing and it’s not raining, everybody!
Interested in technology in general, I like to know how things tick. This will most likely be a main theme in the articles I submit. I would, if it were true, tell you about how I’m studying toward a degree in computer science, and how glimmering my career looks in front of me. But I haven’t quite made that happen yet.
Often my mind, unleashed, wanders where it will and usually doesn’t do anything interesting or constructive, and more often than not it takes its time coming back for tea. But recently certain subjects have engaged my attention, awakening something within me that I had given up looking for. Boyish curiosity.
I find myself reading about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, human psyche, chaos theory and mathematics and feeling something welling up again, expelling apathy and doubt, slowly but definitely. I’m starting to realise the reasons for keeping a personal diary, and trying one’s hand at poetry, storytelling and composing and writing music.
Well that’s a brief and inexact account of my state of mind at this present time. I shall attempt to reward those who frequent my little part of h2g2.com, by trying – nay, by making it my quest - to post a multitude of entries on as diverse a range of topics as I can. Any help you feel you could lend me would be brilliant.
If ever you want to contact me directly email me: [email protected].
Thanks guysBen "Nice But Dim" Smylie
