Chris Dickson's Cheer-o-page
Hey, Chris! What's a cheer-o-page?
It's the opposite of a
depress-o-page, really...
I am a busy but happy mathematics student at
Keble College
which is a part of Oxford University. I
write pages for the Diplomacy Society
and I wrote pages for the Invariant
Society, but that was some time ago. However my principal Web-related
pastime is writing pages for the wonderful, award-winning UK Game Show Page so
go and have a look at it! Once the novelty of that has worn off - surely
not? - let me indulge you with my passion for laser
gun games, particularly ones involving blasting physicists.
Strange songs
I also have a penchant for, er, less-than-serious "novelty" songs.
For reference, I have included the lyrics of some of my favourites.
Party on, Mark Rigby-Jones has
written some stats-file-mangling program which lets me have some proper stats
now. Read them or don't and see if I care.
Here is a link which refers to my dislike and distrust of all even
slightly fancy HTML tags. I really can't be bothered
with them.
Apart from this, there are the Obligatory pages! We have
A less-cynical-than-before attempt at a "my friends'
home pages" page! A Society links page! A
Miscellaneous links page! Lastly, if you're
easily amused by forms ('cos I've got some great ones here) or
if you want to send me some mail, then go ahead and
"send me some mail"!
A line around the world
<<TWO BACKWARDS<<
<BACKWARDS<
the middle
>FORWARDS>
>>TWO FORWARDS>>
Yes, this does go the right way round now :-)
This is the Line Around the World. It's an effort to get people all around
this beautiful planet of ours to be nice to each other. And while we're at
it, we might as well meet other great people on the World Wide Web. The way
it works is this: A list is being kept, in exact order, of people who've
registered to be part of this line. Each person connects to the people in
front and in back of her/him on that list, forming one long line around the
Internet. The great part is that all the people who include themselves in
this line are honour-bound to go out of their way to perform an act of
goodness. This could be anything from giving 5 pounds or more to the
charity of your choice to making lunch for the homeless man out on the
corner to complimenting everyone you meet for a month. It's different
for different people, but all these people want to do something to make
life happier and better. If you might like to join, simply click on the
link between the arrows for more information.
You don't need to stop at one good deed, of course. I'm giving more money
than I said I would when I sponsored someone; I am no longer
unfairly cruel and spiteful towards
Andrew and in aid of Amnesty International and Cancer Research I watched
Babylon Five for the first time
for 24 hours.
You don't even need to be a part of the line to do good deeds. Go on!
Perform an act of random kindness today!

I hope I cheered you up. If I didn't, please let me know what would cheer you
up, and I'll see what I can do.
Have a wonderful day!
