Welcome

Hello, this WAS the cube home page of stiff_hands. Soon it will disappear and be replaced with a new site with new content. Click here for an intro sequence on at least one of your visits. Click this animation or one of the textual mail links around the site to send me a mail.

As far as I know I am the fastest active cuber in Britain with a best average of 22.0 seconds (which possibly isn't as fast as British cubers twenty years ago) - if you know differently, then let me know.

Sites aims

So why would you want to use this site? This site covers a few areas that aren't covered to any extent elsewhere, namely

  1. Blindfold cubing - a system with examples.
  2. Charting of cube time progress - available to all upon submission of times and dates
  3. Jessica method moves using free slots, and placing 2 edges at once
  4. Non-matching pairs
  5. Waterman method

The point of this site is to communicate about cubing topics that I find interesting. If you are new to cubing then you may not understand everything (such as notation or what the Jessica (jiri) method is). There are plenty of sites out there that cover such topics extremely well, and I think it would be redundant to replicate the information.

Contributions invited

Not everybody has access to their own website, so if you have something to say (which is non-political, not libelous, and cube related), mail me and I'll put it in the guest section. Also, when sections change I'll indicate there is something new to look at. As of September/October 2001, everything is new!

A lot of content will remain static, but every once in a while I will hold a poll. Suggestions for topics will be gratefully received.

Previous updates

Most of the updates to the site will be linked to below, however slight rewording, changes to the html, cosmetic changes, links to other sites, etc won't be; so although the links are a handy way round the site to see updates, have a peruse manually every once in a while.
