Terry Jones: Among various other dislikes, one thing I particularly don't enjoy are the panels. I find panels very self-indulgent. Some small number of panelists sit on stage and have a conversation with each other, while the rest of us are supposed to sit there passively and lap it up... I always wish the time balance were changed. And I wish I didn't get the overwhelming feeling that the panelists are basking in their own glory, too busy for the common conference goer. It's a pity, because I and I suppose many others, are genuinely interested in the individuals on the panels. But the format doesn't work at all for me. The solution?

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am in preparation for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.
