My family. By my wife and daughter. I'm the one with long hair.

To speak to another with consideration, to appear before him with decency and humility, is to honour him; as signs of fear to offend. To speak to him rashly, to do anything before him obscenely, slovenly, impudently is to dishonour. Leviathan, ch X.

I have accounts on a couple of wiki's, including (recently) disinfopedia. All redirect to here. If you want to leave me a message, please do it on my wiki User talk:William M. Connolley.

I live in Coton and work at the British Antarctic Survey as a Climate modeller. I grew up in Berkhamsted. In a former life I was a mathematician at SEH.

http://mustelid.blogspot.com/ - my blog. Something of an experiment at present.

I've mostly edited climate related pages, which is where most of my wiki-relevant expertise is. I - the long-haired sandal-wearing weirdo-non-conformist - have been doing my best to staunchly defend (with logic, facts and reasoned arguments mostly) the orthodox line. This would have amused my father no end.

My watchlist has now reached 361 items (with Gravity, since you ask) which is the same number of points as are on a Go board. 2004/09/21: now exactly 500. I think I should prune it a bit. I did: its now over 500... 2004/12/04: 600 exactly.

Climate type stuff

User:William_M._Connolley/Wiki_pages_related_to_climate_change

A pile of meteorology related pages, not all of which exist: wind, katabatic wind, hadley cell, coriolis effect, Atmospheric circulation. All are in need of attention. Also High (atmospheric), Low (atmospheric), Thermal equator, Intertropical convergence zone, Scale (spatial), Mesoscale meterology, Synoptic scale meteorology, Convection

Opinion

Working on privately but slowly (comments welcome but leave the text alone)

User:William M. Connolley/Dynamics of atmospheric circulation
User:William M. Connolley/Trend estimation - this is now public - here only for ref
User:William M. Connolley/Notes for Hobbes (fairly well redundant now)

Workspace for refs on attribution of climate change and others

Notes to self: pages I intend to edit (ha ha, one day...)

Climate model - passable. Needs detail. nb: GCM exists.
Sea ice - now OK
Antarctic Circumpolar Wave - ditto, but less shameful!
Antarctica/Climate - more work.
British_Antarctic_Survey - will do for now.

Epithets

I have been called:

An eco terrorist
Satanic - but that was on usenet where people are sometimes impolite...
A vandal by User:Vsmith.
"confrontational" and "your manner of discourse is unbecoming of someone of your stature" - by User:Benapgar

The list is lengthening out nicely.

Stolen things

Why do programmers confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because Oct 31 equals Dec 25. User:Func
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, those who read binary and those who don't. (ditto)

Feare of power invisible, feigned by the mind, or imagined from tales publicly allowed, RELIGION; not allowed, SUPERSTITION. And when the power imagined is truly such as we imagine, TRUE RELIGION. Leviathan, ch VI

To have done more hurt to a man than he can or is willing to expiate enclineth the doer to hate the sufferer. For he must expect revenge or forgiveness; both which are hateful. [Ch XI].
