To speak to another with consideration, to appear before him with decency and humility, is to honour him; as signs of fear to offend. To speak to him rashly, to do anything before him obscenely, slovenly, impudently is to dishonour. Leviathan, ch X.
I was in Llangrannog, Southwold and on the River Great Ouse. I'm back :-)
(experiment: does this generate you-have-new-messages?)
I live in Coton and work at the British Antarctic Survey as a Climate modeller. I grew up in Berkhamsted. In a former life I was a mathematician at SEH. In this life, I have a wiki score of about 48.
- http://www.wmconnolley.org.uk - my home page.
- http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/met/wmc/ - my work page
I've mostly edited climate related pages, which is where most of my wiki-relevant expertise is. Recently I've been looking at some of the quantum mechanics pages. In both cases I - the long-haired sandal-wearing weirdo-non-conformist - have been doing my best to staunchly defend (with logic, facts and reasoned arguments mostly) the orthodox line. This would have amused my father no end.
At the moment I'm rather keen on Leviathan (book).
My watchlist has now reached 361 items (with Gravity, since you ask) which is the same number of points as are on a Go board.
Climate type stuff
User:William_M._Connolley/Wiki_pages_related_to_climate_change
A pile of meteorology related pages, not all of which exist: wind, katabatic wind, hadley cell, coriolis effect, Atmospheric circulation. All are in need of attention. Also High (atmospheric), Low (atmospheric), Thermal equator, Intertropical convergence zone, Scale (spatial), Mesoscale meterology, Synoptic scale meteorology, Convection
Opinion
- User:William_M._Connolley/My_POV_on_climate_change
- User:William_M._Connolley/Case_sensitivity_of_page_names
Working on privately but slowly (comments welcome but leave the text alone)
- User:William M. Connolley/Dynamics of atmospheric circulation
- User:William M. Connolley/Trend estimation - this is now public - here only for ref
- User:William M. Connolley/Notes for Hobbes
Workspace for refs on attribution of climate change and others
Notes to self: pages I intend to edit (ha ha, one day...)
- Climate model - passable. Needs detail. nb: GCM exists.
- Sea ice - now OK
- Antarctic Circumpolar Wave - ditto, but less shameful!
- Antarctica/Climate - more work.
- British_Antarctic_Survey - will do for now.

Epithets
I have been called:
- An eco terrorist
- Satanic - but that was on usenet where people are sometimes impolite...
Hmm, bit of a short list, perhaps I'll attract more flak later...

Feare of power invisible, feigned by the mind, or imagined from tales publicly allowed, RELIGION; not allowed, SUPERSTITION. And when the power imagined is truly such as we imagine, TRUE RELIGION. Leviathan, ch VI
To have done more hurt to a man than he can or is willing to expiate enclineth the doer to hate the sufferer. For he must expect revenge or forgiveness; both which are hateful. .
