Parsons Watch - Episode 3

Hello and welcome to Parsons Watch.

Tony Writes:


Eek. I knew Tony's column was bad - that's the whole reason I keep an eye on it - but this week is a particularly poor one. Let's see what he's been up to.
- Oh dear. This week Tony presents an argument for the reinstatement of the death penalty. It is maybe the worst written pieces of comment I've seen for a long while.
- He launches an attack on Newsnight Review - a programme that he's been on "100 times". Er, I'm guessing that they've not asked him to do it again?
- He states Madonna's not sexy.

Parsons of the Week:
A special Parsons of the week as we meet our first Gary Parsons. Gary is an associate librarian at Florida Atlantic University. Among Gary's interests are the uses of computers in libraries, alternative energies, librarians, and librarianship. Gary graduated with a masters in Library Science.

You could say he sleeps, breathes and eats libraries, but you would be wrong - he also enjoys water sports, so there.

***Parsons in Music***



Allow me to introduce you to Kenneth John Parsons, A.K.A. Inexplicata Music. With his music, Ken aims to explore the paranormal. Through tracks such as "Womb Tomb", "Kosmik Kalypso" and "Deep Marine Space Dive", Inexplicata will place you in an Altered State of Mind where you may even happen upon an OBE - Out of Body Experience. So why not order up a copy of "The Hyades Electro-Suite" direct from Ken.

Alternatively you could buy a Casio keyboard, set it to voice number 72 "Ghost Strings" and hold down various notes for a few hours whilst trying to grow a beard. I know I do.

Parsons Word Fact: A common vegetable based nickname for a person with the surname Parsons is Parsnip.

There are hundreds of them - there are loads just in the worlds of prog and/or IT. This thing is going to run and run...
