This is so great I had to share it; the Institute of Physics' advice to physics graduates looking for jobs. There were only these 3 pointers for the 'personal interests' section of the CV:

• Interests• Don’t put down things that help you to be stereotyped such as science fiction books or role play, even if you do enjoy these ( Read more... )

My band is having an album launch party! It's on the 3rd of march (a week friday) at the loft on Cowgate.

Righto. More exciting donut/science interaction at 5 o'clock this thursday; it all sounds a bit like Asimov's Foundation to me. On the other hand, statistical physics is my turf so I might stand a cat in hell's chance of knowing something about it.

If anyone is interested in this, let me know because I'll definitely be there (I seldom leave the lab these days, but it's just along the corridor) - sounds a bit pretentious if you ask me, but it might be quite interesting. It's in the physics department, and we get a free cup of coffee and a donut too. The seminar is tonight (thursday 2/2/06) ( Read more... )

Wow, it's not so long ago that I was complaining that Will Haven had split up and I hadn't been to a decent gig in a while. Now, as a special Christmas pressie, not only are Will Haven back together, they're touring with Crowbar (see http://www.myspace.com/willhaven43) next March. ( Read more... )

Updating twice in one week is a bit keen I know, but I'm reminding people about the wonderful gig on Tuesday night (15/11) at Subway Cowgate (doors at 7.30, we're on second at about 8.30 - 9.00). My band is playing with Visperas (http://www.visperas.co.uk/) and Mr Manana (Read more... )

This time I remembered to publicise a gig! Hopefully it should be a good one too. My band is playing with Visperas (another local band, friends of ours) and another support band next tuesday (15th November), at Subway on Cowgate. Door tax is three quid, but we're doing our first live performance of 46&2 by Tool, which is bastard hard and ( Read more... )

Hi, thought I'd do a token post to say that my band is playing the 3 tuns tonight on hanover street (don't know what time, but we're the only band and it doesn't really bother us - about 9.30-10.00 I expect). If you can't make it, there's another chance to see us on 5th August at Subway, with our friends Visperus and others. More on that nearer ( Read more... )

Just to let people know, Another Volt have a gig on Tuesday night at Whistle Binkies. Entry is free (as always at WB), and we're nominally headlining (at least, we're playing last, apparently we don't need to be there 'til eleven). We will be less one guitar as Adrian is sadly unable to make it, but we'll soldier on through our new stuff without ( Read more... )

Also, forgot to mention in my last post that my band is playing tonight in Nektar (or Nëktär or whatever). Doors are free, apparently there are drinks promotions too.
