Project Violin 100 update.

 After a lot of squabbling, it appears that the old blogging boys are all falling in love with each other, so I thought I'd better change the subject. I mean, next thing we'll all be moving into bedrooms in The Vatican!

I'm about a month and a half into Project Violin 100.


Today I will have completed 20 hours of the 100 hour project. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but there are lots of other things I need to practise too. However, I can tell you that those 20 hours are very concentrated and full on. Slow, repetitive practice is an important part of proceedings. Also, a lot of thinking and planning is going on away from the instrument, the time spent on this does not get recorded. Little advances are seen, advances that will add up nearer the end of the project. At least, I hope they will.

I've checked Rob's blog. He has proved, beyond any doubt, that atheists are wrong in their beliefs. Actually, atheists don't have beliefs to be wrong about. He challenges readers to read a link to some Catholic apologist. I started to look at it but was interrupted by Shelley. Maybe I'll try again later.

Actually, I'll have a quick look at it now.

Be right back.

Back.

Here's the Catholic apologist's opening shot.


I guess that the opening idea is that 'Whatever begins to exist has a cause'. Seems true.

Then we find out that the universe has a cause. Seems logical.

Then we get a picture of how science thinks the universe started.


Well, that one has got to be a theory.

Then he starts talking about some hotel.


This is a bit naughty of me, but at that point I started to get restless because I have practice (and other things) to do.

I'll try and watch the rest of it some other time.

Ciao for now. Practice calls.

It probably would have been better if the Catholic apologist got to the point quicker.

Hilbert's grand hotel paradox is a favourite of Trent. It demonstrates that a full hotel with infinite rooms can still accommodate more people.

Not in Wellington.

Slow, repetitive practice Would be unnecessary Shirley. I’d have thought you have that nailed.

Anonimo ha detto...

Not yet, and don't call me 'surely'.

Well, your blog posts would appear to differ.

What is it?

Don't worry.

I guess you aren’t as familiar with the ‘Airplane’ jokes as you make out.
