Taffy of HVTS

Return-ed

2006-03-16T13:48:00.000+00:00

Hello anyone..I am going to start writing this again. I haven't got that much to say right now but I thought I'd announce a certain regularity will return.

News: I have started revision...today I have been looking at Godel's Incompleteness Theorems.
I have also set up VFC virtual frammy cotts.

Good night, and good luck

Hello there - from wednesday onwards I will be located thus:

TAFFY TAKES ON USA

It will be here that you will find my thoughts on various experiences I may or may not have had in my time in the US.
In HVTS news I have had another good day of recording with DOyM just have to lay down the vox tomo. HOORAH.
Next term, to which I am looking forward greatly, holds many a new delight I hope: the ROXNROLL life.

STUFF TO SAY:STUFF TO SAY

2005-08-15T17:58:00.000+01:00

The mighty Fall are taking on the Zodiac on Oct 23rd! I can't wait! Very Very Very Exciting. I do hope MES is rude to everyone!
What else is there...oh yea I read the first two Harry Potter Books and enjoyed..real easy quick reads...so read them even if you're cynical and get a basis to slag them off.
Finally...I have recorded and converted new song to mp3...it's ready for interested parties to sink their ear-teeth into...
Currently Listening to: dan.mp3
Currently Reading: Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban

Songwriting progress...

2005-08-05T18:33:00.000+01:00

...yes I am having some inspiration/movement forward etc. Sounding pretty good I'm pleased...may well put them on the net when they are "finished".
The ep has got two pretty good reviews thus far I am pleased.
Currently reading: Crime and Punishment
Currently Listening to: Dusty in Memphis

Went to London...

2005-07-18T16:47:00.000+01:00

...was pretty good...saw friends...etc...was hot...went to Crush...

Oh! Oh! Oh!

2005-07-10T18:10:00.000+01:00

Can't believe I forgot to mention this... Got my results!!! Am on a 2.1! YAY!!! Go me! Plus got a 67 for the philosophy paper. Which is a positive... Nearly a first! Go me. Now onto the fourth year. Hmmm.

Pleated Plats and Mountain Flats (Like Table Mountain)

2005-07-10T01:25:00.000+01:00

I am now truly appreciating the GENIUS that is Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David is an absolute legend. Great stuff. What else is there? Not much really... More of The Fall: Slates and Totales Turns... Also Converge and Locust today, great stuff for a Summer's Day. Oh and Crime and Punsihment is a rather nice read...
Am going to London on Thursday, Le Maison Du Club Du Le Joque Grand will be reunited.

Oh-kay

2005-07-08T15:19:00.000+01:00

Hey there to whoever the hell reads this. Interesting thought. I kind of figure I'm just writing into the void. Who cares anyway?
Soooo...I'm at home...there's not that much to do. Friends are about though. Which is great. It's been a lot of fun seeing everyone again. I feel like there's much I'm expected to do however. Which is annoying because it makes it harder to relax.

AND I'M ALWAYS WORRIED

Yes I'm still listening to lots of The Fall. Get over it. Ihaven't written any songs yet. I am slack. Soon though. Soon.

Ah So...

2005-06-21T11:01:00.000+01:00

It's been a very long time! I do apologise for that. I hope all are well. I am occupying the space between alright and confused...and lost and all that kind of thing. It's very hard to deal with it all. I have a lot of things plying with my tiny mind. AK!
Anyway...it's Summer soon, which implies that BIG JOCK has got to get creative. Yes that's right he's gotta get some CHOONS together. Lotta pressure. Hope all is well.
See yers.

Days and...

2005-05-01T20:11:00.000+01:00

Played Wadstock last night...on an awesome stage was great fun! Crowd were brilliant - I was very pleased. I also lost a drumstick which wasn't so great. *sigh*. was inevitable though I guess. Work is slow.

Phil Spector

2005-04-19T12:02:00.000+01:00

I just got the Back to Mono box set and it's bloody awesome, Phil Spector has created some of the most awesome music I've ever heard...Yum! Anyway what up homes? Been long time no post but still that's the kind of vibe I'm laying down at the mo. The ep is going well and is gonna sound pretty sweet, just hope it goes down well with the folk! That's right you guys!

Peirce's Lemma

2005-04-09T08:31:00.000+01:00

Show that: ¦-- (((a->b)->a)->a) (=: c)

Pf: So we have ¦-- c
By one of the "famous" theorems of prop. calc. we have

¦-- ((a->c)->((¬a->c)->c))

So STP (i)¦--(a->c) & (ii)¦--(¬a->c)

(i) by applying DT twice it is STP that {a, ((a->b)->a)}¦--a one line pf so done

(ii) by applying DT twice it is STP that {¬a, ((a->b)->a)}¦--a
One of the theorems says: ¦--(¬a->(a->b))
So we have that {¬a, ((a->b)->a)}¦-- ¬a
{¬a, ((a->b)->a)}¦-- (¬a->(a->b))
so by MP: {¬a, ((a->b)->a)}¦-- (a->b)
{¬a, ((a->b)->a)}¦-- ((a->b)->a)
so by MP: {¬a, ((a->b)->a)}¦-- a

So we've proved (i) and (ii) and so by the tautology we have Peirce's Lemma.

I am returned

2005-04-09T08:29:00.000+01:00

STRESS STRESS! Yes I am feeling quite stressed there's much to be done and what feels like very little time. I am still good at procrastination though, which is a shame because it amounts to wasting time. Precious time. I am not looking forward to collections, I know it'll give me the horrible realisation of how much I need to work.

And no-one likes getting that phone call at 5am.

The Police Shut THEM Down

2005-04-04T14:05:00.000+01:00

This is a picture from when I saw the police shutting some people down! It was mental but good to see! At least they're doing something!

Hello There Trivia Fans!

2005-04-04T13:30:00.000+01:00

Long time no post, and still no proof of Peirce's Lemma! A shame really. But still it is in the pipeline. So then all you slug traders and real time broken down faltering fools! What have thee for me today? Nothing it is library time! I hope. What I am not looking forward to:
-Revision
-The Library
-Work
-Exams
-Results
I ape those that can.

2005-04-01T10:38:00.000+01:00

this is a post to test the FEED!

Why is there no aspirin in the jungle?

2005-03-31T15:04:00.000+01:00


Selfish

Well it's quite a long story, but it basically boils down to a couple of nights ago, the parrots went on a huge bender - getting absolutely slaughtered. This is of course meant that when they finally woke up the next day they all wanted paracetomol, which meant that it was all used up: much to the anger of the crocadile who had a headache this afternoon. The parrots didn't do anything wrong, I mean aspirin is had on a first come, first served, as is basis; but they could have been more thoughtful and left some for others. Selfish.
Peirce's Lemma soon.

Recording Excitement

2005-03-30T13:16:00.000+01:00

Not too long till recording, till the snake hit the Studio. I'm really excited though there is currently a major debate *RAGING* over what songs we are going to include in the decidedly limited space we are going to have.
In other news I have finally finished going through my bloody stinking Logic notes. I say that but I bloody love it really. Am now going through some Exam questions:
Show that Q is conistent iff there exists b such that Q|-/-b
Hmmm...let me get back to you on that one...although I am going to post a proof of Pierce's Lemma in my next post...because google does not yet hold the answer to it and lots of people seem to be looking for it.
And it's pretty cool :P
Plus here is something good:

NEW FACE IN HELL!

2005-03-28T15:24:00.000+01:00

ARGH! Not much time lots to learn...too many distractions. Recently I've been listening to lots of noisy music with people shouting: The Fall - Grotesque and Hex Enduction Hour, PiL - Metal Box and The Sex Pistols - Kiss This. I had something more interesting to write about but I've forgotten it.

YOU BRUXIST FOOL!!

2005-03-27T14:42:00.000+01:00

Clocks went forward last night didn't they. My computer knew. It is wise beyond its years. One hour less sleep. That wasn't helpful at all. I suffer from Bruxism. This means that I grind my teeth when I sleep. It is symptomatic of something else. Apparently that I am stressed.

RAG

2005-03-27T14:40:00.000+01:00

This is an infamous RAG that was created by MY housemates AND I last year. It contained MANY elements of HILARITY. I am wondering whether BLOGS can HANDLE MOVIES.
PS It turns out that NO it CANNOT.
PPS Actually If u click on the pic it links to the movie now! YAY!

I AM JOE TOTALE!

2005-03-26T20:28:00.000+00:00

The North will rise again! Yes yes YES! I just got Grotesque by The "MIGHTY" Fall. You must buy it too. This guy is a NUTCASE and they have given him a MIC and made an UNGODLY NOYSE behind him.

"SEE YA MATE YEA SEE YA MATE SEEYA MATE YEA SEE YA MATE"

I like this noise it enriches me. More as it happens.

Look No Pic!

2005-03-26T12:45:00.000+00:00

I figured I should make a post-me-do without a pic-me-up...well here 'tis. Indeed. Today I am starting Logic...I like Logic and so today should be a marginally more enjoyable day than normal revision...Yes. I have finals this year. But fear not! I will still be here next year! The fools are letting me do a Masters! Hahaha! I will leave at some point though so you can fear a bit. Hmmm...I am trying to write new songs at the moment as well. Got quite a lot of "bits" need to pull them all together though...then they'll pay.

Fat Cat

2005-03-26T12:41:00.000+00:00

This is a before and after of a cat named mischief. The weight of the stack of butter is the amount of weight he lost! Impressive no? I only wish I could meet him. I've heard that he is still a lazy cat, he just doesn't eat as much. That's the spirit Mischief!

A Silly Name

2005-03-26T12:00:00.000+00:00

This is one of HVTS's names before they became HVTS and after they could no longer be go! team.

It's a silly name. Rejj was initially won over by the use of umlaut (that's probably not how you spell it) but then realised he was being won over by *smoke* and *mirrors*.
I'm happy with our current name as you probably know, but there are still some nay-sayers...but to be honest they can...they can...they can be thankful we didn't stick with this!
