Orwell and Apple
27 February 2018
I have developed the habit of emailing myself as well as my collaborators. Then I can sometimes see when files are stripped out of my Apple email account, as in the above example. It was a text file. But then many types of file have gone missing from my emails.
Orwell at the blog

For Turtle Island
23 February 2018
Unsurprisingly, I am unable to comment on ohwilleke’s blog this morning. An error message. And comments on the ribbon post here are now closed. So in answer to the question: it is very difficult to give good references to this body of work, although my old blogs are still there. As I have said, my computer problems are so Orwellian that it would be foolish of me to naively trust anything I see online, or anything that happens as a result of online communication, which is pretty much anything. Presumably, other people have the same problems.
Projective Space

The associahedron gives us the real projective plane! Or rather, the good cover.
Helices in quantum gravity

Fang Fang speaks about the 57 group
Quantum Gravity Research
23 February 2018
I have been visiting Quantum Gravity Research here in Los Angeles for the last ten days, and we have been making good progress on quantum gravity. Michael Rios and I finally met in person. The weather was fantastic, and there were fun outings to Hollywood, Santa Monica, UCLA and San Francisco. Tonight I head back to New Zealand. Who knows what the future holds.
Let’s be positive
22 February 2018
I’ve been having a good time here in California. Perhaps it’s time to be a little more hopeful about the future.

Closeted in America
11 February 2018
This is one of many examples of the difficulties I am having here (in America) trying to figure out how to set up my ipad for my first talk. Orwell is definitely present, as of course I suspected. More on this later. And of course I maximised my debt just to get here, buying adapters, cables and other essentials, so my situation is now even more dire than it was, which was no doubt part of the traffickers’ plans all along.
