I'm going to making a few slight changes, mostly updates, to the site over the next few days. Or at least that's the plan, if nothing happens I'll blame global warming. I did fix one thing already though, the site search works once again.

And since writing that above line, I have made some changes. The Bio page is slightly updated, as is the links page. The mp3 page has a huge update, and I've finally broken the 10 GB barrier on my mp3 list, with 2,441 songs. And the final new page for this update is the Song of the Moment, Beauty and the Beast's Belle, which has been stuck in my head since I rewatched the movie a few days ago.

The kilogram is slowly getting lighter, almost 50 micrograms worth. So scientists are trying to create more stable alternatives, since at the moment the SI unit is determined by a cylinder made in 1889. The other SI units are able to be replicated anywhere you want, since a meter is how far light travels in a set amount of time, and a second is the time it takes a cesium atom to vibrate 9,192,631,770 times, which can both be calculated to very good precision. It'll be interesting to see what they finally come up with.

Contact is a very good book.
