I noticed that the Head of Computing from Sheffield University was on the weakest link today :) not sure how he did (see below) but he was doing excellently at the point i saw him :)

Not sure who won as someone turned the TV over mid-program :( anyone care to enlighten me? :thumbsup:

Oh yea, I remember now. One of my mates in Halls was saying that his lecturer's on The Weakest Link sometime soon, that was probably today...

well i do comp science at sheffield uni and the head of the comp science department is prof. m niranjan. i didn't see the programme though so i don't know if that was him. He's an asian guy.

it was tony simons, he's not head of department just a lecturer there.

I was just relaying what he said ;)

maybe he's the head of a particular dept. of computing and didnt want to bore Ann more than she already was about computing :lol: (not that computing is boring to me, i love it :D)

He used to lecture me. The man in question is Tony Simons (http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~ajhs):
He is the designer of the Brunel (http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~ajhs/brunel) and Poppy (http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~ajhs/poppy) object-oriented languages, both supported by a theory of classification, and is the chief architect behind the Discovery Method (http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~ajhs/discovery) for developing object-oriented systems...

He's aged a little when you compare that site to this one :P

By the way, I invited him to come and read this thread, but no reply (either on the forum or by email) so far.

Just been looking at his site, he certainly has some excellent tastes in music :D :thumbsup:

i asked one of my mates today who saw it and as has already been said it is tony simons, he is actually head of teaching in the computer science department, i.e. the person who sorts out all of the schedules and the guy to report to if you lecturer isnt very good i'd guess.
