Location: 0.000000,0.000000 Web: http://searchgeek.wordpress.com/ Bio: work in paid search. love pivot tables. game theory & chaos theory enthusiast. afropolitan. mostly from zim. What is a pivot table? – a pivot table makes lots of lots numbers in a spreadsheet easy to understand and can make nice graphs and pictures to draw conclusions Please enlighten us with an example of game theory? -Right. Say boy and girl go on a movie date. Boy wants to see action movie. Girl wants to see chick flick. They both want to spend to spend time together. The strategic bargaining is game theory in practice. Simples. What about chaos theory? – Expect the unexpected. There’s a black swan approaching around the corner. Like the reason the laundry in your washing machine is untangled. Your machine probably uses a nonlinear chaotic system, which means every cycle is random. Got it? (umm… no, still not, but I’ll ask my clever friends to explain 😉 ) What ingredients make up an afroplitan? – Young, proudly African, internationally mobile, polyglot, making a mark in the world, the coolest damn people on earth Where’s the rest of you from if not Zim? – Well… the rest has been picked up along the way for example my Pan African music sense, my dull British humour, my European dresscode and my brazen American ego Why London and for how long? – London by coincidence and will be for a very long time (please explain this coincidink further in the comments… pretty please ? ;0 ) So tell us about your night with Mos Def… – I still think I was dreaming Which ‘thing’ are you going to next week at Koko and why? – Some artist is having a gig there showcasing his new album and a friend got me on the guest list. apparently it’s Usher. not the greatest fan but i’m up for a party. Tell us about ‘Bring me my Bow of burning gold’… – My school’s favourite hymn, don’t ask why as it was an all boys boarding school on the Zim/Bots border – sung it at the end of each term – now symbolises the end of anything significant I do...
We will be back!
