Hello Spellbinder! Use your magic arm-fireball thingies for good in the Wikipedia :) Anyway, I hope you like the place and choose to stay.

Some links that may be of use:

Hi 152.78.0.29, hope you managed to follow me here.

Glad you haven't been too discouraged about my reverting your work. :-) I notice that your IP is a soton.ac.uk proxy, so I assume you're at Southampton Uni, which is where I did my maths degree many moons ago!

As you should be able to tell from the history of this talk-page of mine, I've only had my logon since yesterday. Prior to that, I was just an anonymous user identified by IP like you. I would urge you to get your own login, it's very simple and then you have the option to add pages to your 'watchlist' so that you can tell at a glance which of the pages you're interested in have been updated; I don't think there's a way to get notified by email, but I may be wrong.

The links above are useful starters to find out about Wiki - so you might want to have a look at those.

Good luck!

Forgot to mention that you can write in my talk-page yourself of course; each user has a talk-page just like each encyclopedia page does. If you create your own login, you'll get your own talk-page too - which you can use to talk to others or just use to test things out. Feel free to ask if you need more help - and let me know what your login name is if you join :-)

I now have logged in! I am Robinh, as of yesterday. I've started adding a couple of pages, just stubs at this stage...check out Boussinesq approximation and Euler equations. My current work involves Bayesian simulation, and I'm working with Jonty Rougier and Tony O'Hagan (although my bit of the project hasn't really got started yet). I do feel a bit of a fake, as I'm most specifically not a Bayesian. +

I'm actually down the road from soton, at SOC. I've only been here for a few weeks.


You were right about Fowler...I also checked the OED, which basically says that usage changed in the 18th century. It might be worth doing my doing a bit more research and adding a little to the apostrophe page. The annoying thing is that correct usage is determined by actual usage...(does this mean that the fruitmongers are right after all?)

Robin, left a note on your own talk-page - you should see a New Message indication at the top of your pages.

Hi again Spellbinder.

Calling it a Wiki "bug" is just right...it's addictive, isn't it? I have plans to create a whole new vista of industrial risk assessment stuff (the current risk assessment pages are mostly financial stuff, not my scene at all).

SOC stands for Southampton Oceanography Centre. I'm working on ocean-atmosphere modelling to predict climate change.

hey, gotta go.

good chatting
