An Intro

Well, here it is. With my first post in a blog comes a feeling of obligation to writing something insightful, poignant or at the very least, witty but I'd say its not going to happen.

Hmm, what to write... perhaps I'll give a bit of a description of the username (or perhaps pseudonym) I'm writing this under. Picking a username is a tricky job. Coming up with something which is sufficiently anonymous (if you're after anonymity), but which reflects at least something of your personality. After a little (but not too much) thought, I came up with oscillatory. And the more I thought about it, the more it seemed to fit.

This probably sounds geeky, but big parts of my life, work and my hobbies, revolve around things that oscillate. I've recently finished some postgraduate study where I was looking at structural dynamics and aeroelasticity. All to do with vibration... oscillation. I've played guitar since I was quite young, and music has always been a part of my life... sound, and particularly music, is itself an oscillatory phenomenon. I've always liked playing with computers... where again, everything is based around oscillation between one state and another. And finally, a couple of years ago, I learnt to ride a unicycle.

See it all makes sense...
