Question, how far up the side of a martini glass constitutes half the volume?

We can model the glass as a cone.
Volume of a cone:

If we add a term “” to denote the change.
The height affects the radius (r) linearly (similar triangles).
So and .

To find effect of halving the volume on the height:

Thus:

so:

So (if my maths is correct) you need to fill the glass to approximately 0.79 of the way up the side of the glass for half the volume.

..and who said maths wasn’t useful.

I swear, if God hadn’t invented cakes, someone would be dead by now.
….and I’m all out of cakes.

Had no time to work on the game recently. Which makes me sad; as I was really enjoying it.

Been away doing a management course recently. Whilst a lot of what we learnt was just common sense. They really highlighted the importance of planning everything.

This has been something that I have made fun of before, using more of a gun-ho attitude for my own work. But sometimes, it’s useful to just take a step back, and work out exactly what it is you’re trying to do, what needs to be done first, and what the most important things are; especially when working in a team.

I’m not sure how I’ll bring this attitude into my work, considering I’ve been working without a plan, and implementing one now might be a bit of a trite exercise…

Starting with the next project tho, I aim to be a lot more organised, or rather….structured.

Been taking the opportunity to try some new things recently: be a bit more active, and just generally be a bit more adventurous. At least before uni comes and takes over again.

Here are a few things I’ve learnt:
Bend your knees when you try and stand on anything moving.
Zorbing can hurt if you don’t follow the instructions.
Surfing is hella fun.
The ocean is powerful and beautiful…and really salty.

I’ve decided that it’s time I remove: So much pun, lolcats and failblog from my rss aggregator.

Those websites have brought me many a great joy, but I feel that I’m just wasting my time on them.

They’ll probably rear their head again when exams roll around again. But for now, they’re off limits.

Well, it’s been a long slog. I’ve had loads of domains for a lot of time, but here we are: a blog!

It’s been, a blog slog, shall we say.

So I guess I should explain what I’m upto. This website will eventually become more of a professional portfolio, as well as  a blog. It also needs a new design. Whilst this one is alright, it needs a bit more flair (read: a lot more flair). That’s going to have to wait though.

My main focus at the moment is “mitework.com”. Where I will be making various APPS and GAMES for Android. Eventually I’d like to venture out onto some better platforms, but for now this is the plan. I’ll write some blog posts to do with my first app (which is mostly just for learning the ropes) at some point….when I’m less angry with it.

Hello everyone! This be my first post.
Actually I just wanted to change the default wordpress post. So…here it is!

Might put a different design on this at some point. You never know.
