I am so tired....... I have been working like a fiend to get another conference paper written up, and have just sent a draft to my supervisor to look at. I have some odds and ends to clean up in it, why do you see those as soon as you hit send? Nevertheless, it has gone, and I will leave it until tomorrow. All in all, its not bad, if I may so so. =) But I have pushed myself so hard I am now braindead and exhausted and think a nice glass of red wine and an early bedtime are in the offing! =))

So I should have gone home but I just downloaded some humungo big pdf... and was just sifting the papers around, and HELLO! they fell open to a graph that captures the problem I have been trying to solve conceptually all afternoon! JUST LIKE THAT! and it saves me reading about 200 pages.

At the risk of sounding a bit weird, this often happens to me. I have had books fall off shelves and open to the very page with something that I need...! strange. OK and just now some desperate student has come in to use my printer ( this seems to happen a lot where I keep unsociable hours at the university and students race around in tears looking for a printer when all the other technology has failed.)

Ok its time to go home.
