  • And so, it begins: After an incredibly energizing talk in Karlsruhe yesterday, I've done what I've said I'm going to one day do for some years now, and have created obbook.tex. Roughly 2 hours to cut and paste everything, and it is 199 pages. Not too shabby to start with! And then I worked on the bibliography.
  • AND I finished entering all the data from EEW! Today was a good day.

  • Lumbini paper.
  • More correspondence with IJB people since I doubt that my uploading the files again will result in any difference. Eventually, I figured out the trick: convert the PDFs to PS and then upload those, so they can be converted back to PDF. Gah! Stupid. But hey, it's back in submission.
  • More in the DMNES want-list.
