According to my web stats, there was a mild surge of interest in my site yesterday. Mostly they were linked from my UW site, so I can venture an educated guess that a small number of people were doing that from the mere 1-second mention of my name in the C&O picnic (which I didn't go, incidentally). Oh yeah, speaking of which, I really don't like getting up in front of a lot of people to receive an award. That feels really embarrassing. So, that's probably why I didn't go to the picnic.

There was a rush to get the assignment done yesterday morning. At the start of the day, I think I had 4 questions solved, and 1 typed, out of 5. Got to the office at around 9, decided to start typing the other 3 solved questions (which are ridiculously hard to type), and then gamble on the last question being not too hard. Well, surprisingly enough, I did all that and actually finished the assignment (minus one small part that I didn't even want to attempt) 10 minutes before class time. So...another disaster averted. I really need to cut down on these close calls...

Coming up this week: a talk, more marking, the usual fruitless research, and get MYST IV finished already.
