Miscellanea
disinformatics exists for two main reasons:
- Because I never made promises lightly
- Because when I thought about whether I preferred an empty real or a dark virtual, I chose the dark virtual ;-]
The blog, psyche, was named after the chip in Serial Experiments Lain, long before I had actually watched SEL. I am in the process of adding a Lain section which will be linked to from the menu bar when it's worth showing people.
Information about my other attempts at web design is here.

My name is Farhan Mannan and my possible handles are usually variations on The Fish, EBH-TheFish and TheFishV2. These handles have no meaning.
My main interests, in no particular order, include
- Computing, informatics, mathematics, philosophy, ethics
- Physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, electronics
- Sociology, history, politics
- English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Japanese
- Sabre fencing
Bold type indiciates some level of formal study.
I currently attend St Paul's School in London. I am a member of the school CompSoc (along with everyone except James Linehan in the contemporaries section of the affiliates page). A full CV will be here when necessary.
I hope to study computer science after completing my A-levels (physics, computing, maths and further maths to A2 and chemistry only to AS).
Fields like human-computer interfaces, artificial intelligence and of course the internet and web fascinate me and I hope to be able to contribute to the advancement of computing.
I maintain a partial existence on many sites, although my activity is generally low:
- Jaiku
- Flickr
- deviantART
- Wikipedia
- Flixster
- Digg
- Yahoo!
- Blogger
- last.fm artist/user
- YouTube
- Pownce
My blog is psyche.
