My "Favourites"/ "Bookmarks"/ "Hotlist" have links to everything that interests me. It is updated occasionaly.

The broad areas of interest are outlined below.

Go

I am particularly interested in any material related to the oriental board game Go (Japanese Igo, Chinese WeiQi [Wei-Ch'i], Korean Baduk/Paduk).

There is much further information about Go, not only in my Go/Baduk/WeiQi Bookmarks/Favourites (many hundreds of links), but also in Harry Fearnley's Main Go page (not maintained ...), where you can find a few things not linked to elsewhere.

The Go topics that I specialize in are:

• An overview of shared life (seki) in Go, which links to my other work on seki (Korean: bik, Chinese: shuang huo) ...
• Seki: Hanezeki -- shared life and (generalized) hanezeki (Korean: jeochim bik)
• Seki: Nakade -- shared life and (generalized) nakade (Korean: chijung, Chinese: dianyan)
• Gurvich and Gol'berg's 1980 paper on (fully-connected) seki
• Shimada's work -- Igo no Suri -- some formal/mathematical reflections -- 1958 edition
• Bestiary -- brain hurts!
• Bestiary: Molasses Ko, etc
• Bestiary: Rule challenging
• Multistage Kos -- Zippers, etc -- some very improbable ko (Korean: pae, Chinese: jie)
• A little problem with many big kos
• Go in Britain
• Computers and Go
• TsumeGo -- Life and death problems
• Rulesets; Combinatorial Games Theory; Mathematics and Go
• Playing Go on the Internet
• Books about Go -- various languages

Mathematics

I also have various recreational interests in Mathematics -- particularly in:

• Wavelets, Fourier Transforms etc -- especially discrete versions.
• Tessellations, or Tilings.
• Conway's game "Life", as well as other Cellular Automata, and Artificial Life stuff.

Other

Other interests include:

• Karl Raimund Popper - the philosopher of science.
• Dr Alice Mary Stewart's work on low-level radiation and cancer.
• Stephen Wolfram, and his A New Kind of Science.
• Some aspects of Linguistics
• Various languages - especially Chinese, and Artificial Languages, such as Loglan/Lojban and Basic English.
