Resolution Review: February

Title	Submitted	Revision requested	Resubmitted	Accepted
"The Logic of Categorematic and Syncategorematic Infinity"	14 January 2014
"Modal Logic in the Metalogicon"	24 January 2014
"Medieval Destinations: Lumbini"	28 January 2014			18 February 2014
"Reasoning About Obligations in Obligationes: A Formal Approach"	27 February 2014 (abstract only)

To be honest, I finished the last paper on the list in the middle of the month (13 Feb.). I'd hoped to have it submitted before the end of the month, but I gave it to Joel to proofread and he hasn't had time yet, and I'd rather screw up on my resolutions than submit it without a sanity check. But I at least submitted the abstract for it, since those are due before the full papers are anyway.

• Followed up on the notes taken during my skype w/ Catarina last week, and sent her the next version of our chapter. I expect the next version I sent her will be either the ultimate or penultimate version.
• Pulled out my Imola paper to try to revise it for an onomastics journal. Names has a word limit of 5000! That's shockingly small. Guess I'll have to cut out a lot of the examples. But first, golly, reformatting a paper YET AGAIN is a RIGHTEOUS PAIN.

Wednesday, February 19, 2014

After yesterday's logic frustration (talked to Joel about it some in the evening, and maybe he'll come out some time this week to talk to me), I decided today was a day for doing non-research work.

• More progress on AiML1, but not as much as I should have made. I keep kicking the same wall, and I'm not quite sure what to do. Times like these, I miss having a real logician or two around.
• I was in a right funk for much of the afternoon, even onomastics didn't make things better, at least not right away.

• Intro to TEI training this morning. I learned three very important things in it: 1. I am wholly incompetent on a German keyboard, and touch pads are of the devil because you keep touching them when you don't want them. 2. I never want to edit XML in a "smart" editor ever again. I will do all of my XML editing in VIM, tyvm. 3. XML/TEI seems like a sad, sad excuse for LaTeX. I had two pages worth of XML'ed text, and it took oXygen 34 seconds to compile a very ugly PDF.

• It's always nice to start off the morning with an idea about what to do with a recalcitrant paragraph in the paper you're writing while biking out to the office. I made it onto 16 pages in mid afternoon, and with still half an hour before leaving got it back onto 15 pages with no todos left and a conclusion written. Whoo! Tomorrow, proof-reading. Then bring a version home for Joel to proofread. Maybe Monday submit?

• AiML14 #2. I think I'm at the point where I've got two (possibly three) sections left to write: An explanation of Burley's solution + discussion of the other two objections (if possible); a comparison with related work, which I already have plenty of notes for; and a conclusion. Even when I try to omit as much of the historical background as I can, it still takes 1/3 of a 15 page paper to outline everything I need before I can jump into the fun stuff!
