Babbage's problems with the treasury coincided with numerous disagreements with Clement. Babbage had built a two-story, 50 foot long workshop behind his house. It had a glass roof for lighting, and a fireproof, dust-free room to contain the machine. Clement refused to move his operations to the new workshop and demanded more money for the difficulty of travelling across town to oversee construction. In response, Babbage suggested that Clement draw his pay directly from the treasury. Before then, Babbage would get money from the government that he would use to pay Clement. He often had to pay Clement out of his own pocket when the bureaucracy lagged behind Clement's pay schedule. Clement refused the request and stopped working.

he year after taking a Fellowship, Peacock was appointed a tutor and lecturer of his college, which position he continued to hold for many years. At that time some believed that the University had settled down to the study of Newton instead of Nature, and that they committed a grave error in ignoring the differential notation for calculus. They clung to the fluxional notation of Newton and they ignored the easier notation of Leibniz and everything written in that notation. The result of this was that further developments of the calculus were made by the contemporary mathematicians of the Continent (e.g., the Bernoullis, Euler, Clairault, Delambre, Lagrange, Laplace, Legendre). Cambridge University in particular was wholly given over not merely to the use of the fluxional notation but to ignoring the differential notation.

BBC News reported on 29 May 2005 that a Czech musician called Klaudius Kryšpín, the drummer of a famous Czech rock band Pražský výběr (Prague Selection), had rung the helpline, offering information that Piano Man may be a pianist called Tomáš Strnad, who along with Mr Kryšpín was a member of the tribute band Ropotamo in the 1980s. Despite not having seen him for nine years, Mr Kryšpín was quoted as saying "When I saw the picture in the newspapers, I knew it was Tomáš". Also, Klaudius Kryšpín's twin brother Richard who lives in Columbus, Ohio confirmed that Piano Man has a striking resemblance to Mr Strnad. Another person who argued that Strnad may have been Piano Man was Michael Kocáb, the singer of Pražský výběr and a former adviser of Václav Havel. A problem with this theory was that Kocáb argued that he met Strnad on 10 April, 2005 near Prague (three days after Piano Man was found in England). Even though the West Kent NHS Trust described this as a "promising lead" and reportedly planned to bring in a Czech interpreter, this theory (like the theory that it was Steven Villa Masson, above) was dashed when Tomáš Strnad was found and interviewed on Czech TV.

This is the real test.
Hum hum.
