About This Blog
Collected here are a load of hints, hacks, and howtos that I have used at some point to get my computers to behave the way I want them to (as opposed to me behaving the way they want me to). Often these only need to be done once, until I do something stupid like upgrading my system. By that time, however, I've usually forgotten the details of how I did whatever I did. So I've started keeping notes. I'm switching to keeping these notes in a blog as the most useful resource that I've found is other people's blogs explaining just how they got the text in their xterms to be mauve. So I've put these here just in case they are useful to someone else.

Atiyah's Genealogy: Hyperbolic by Construction
Here is a rendering of Atiyah's mathematical genealogy. It is currently woefully incomplete, in particular Hodge's supervisor is not known on the MGP.
This version uses GraphViz to render the graph
directly as a png and as a postscript file. The dot file originally
produced by the ggg program was heavily edited to create the hyperbolic
effect (the fonts didn't seem to scale correctly when I created a svg file,
and so a png seemed the best way to display the file). The picture is
rather large so I haven't embedded it in this page. You can download or view
it by clicking here for png, here for another
png, and here for postscript.

Sheffield Genealogy Graph
Just for good measure, here's the genealogy graph that I did for the Sheffield Pure Mathematics department. It was reasonably accurate as of April 2006 but since then there's been a few changes (including myself!) and so it is no longer absolutely correct. The project stalled a little as I wanted to get a connected graph but a couple of people in the department were difficult to link to the rest.
