Glasgow, April 9th

Henri Schildt, the third of our team of researchers working on the paper revision flew to Glasgow from London on the previous day. Henri was one of the PhD students at TKK when I started there as a post doc. He used to be one of those irrirating characters who excelled at a wide variety of things: good at math, extremely intelligent, a likeable character, master programmer, inclined towards philosophical thinking, etc.

Henri and John...



We concluded after lunch and I took a stroll downtown Glasgow to pick up a few gifts for Outi and the kids. In one shop window, an oxymoron of a product was on display - a matchbox-sized Kerry King Marshall amplified with an allegedly massive sound. Well...

Here's a picture of Kerry King...



And here's the massive amplifier on display...



Oh well. I took an evening flight to London and a bus to Oxford for a short visit. On the plane, I devoured a delightful snack of a comic book that I had bought from Forbidden Planet, "Ministry of Space." Beautifully drawn, nice retro look and a smart, little story. Recommended.
