As I said before Maeve is over the chicken-pox and back in the creche. Her progress never ceases to amaze me – she now knows phrases such as “Thats my Favourite”, “Daddies iPhone” (which is wrong since I have a fab HTC desire), “In five minutes” (as in “I will do it in 5 minutes”) and her all time favourite “I want to watch Robots”. Another thing I have noticed are her motor skills – for example she can pick up and throw a football, well if the truth be known she can “dribble” a football as well. I caught her last week using a broom handle to get at some toy which was under the sofa and out of her reach and could not get under. On Sunday with me supervising and holding the potato she use one of those “rapid peelers” to peel the skin from the potato – not bad in one only 2.75 years old. For someone who is interested in intelligence – specifically “artificial” or machine intelligence it is fascinating to watch a child learn. She has already learned to turn on/off the tv/tv-sound and will no doubt master the channel changing any day now.

Well time to go back and read a few articles at a site called “DIY Drones”.
