The Phoenix papers

For the mathematical side of things, you should go to my official home page. Nothing on this page should be taken too seriously, and the University of Leeds disclaims all responsibility for the eccentricities of its staff.

This is a collection of facetious articles written about the old Cambridge Phoenix system, and, as such, will probably not make much sense to people who were not around during that golden age. Too bad.


A new William story
Douglas Adams parodies
Four short detective stories.
Games in the User Area.
Genius Computational
INFO.WORLD.CURRENT.STATUS, a parody of INFO.EAGLE.CURRENT.STATUS.
Jeeves and the demented eagle.
Kafka parody.
Monologue a la Peter Cook.
Sherlock Holmes pastiches
Terry Pratchett parodies.
Test Match Special
The diary of a nobody
The even more secret life of Walter Mitty.
The great shutdown of Phoenix.
The history of FORTRAN.
Three men on a Beeb.

Finally, here are some miscellaneous parodies, which I hope to sort out some day.
