In 2022, I hereby resolve to…

In which I get boosted, and the world Juniors gets iced by om-nom-nomicron.

So how did you spend your summer vacation?
I’ve managed some kind of personal best–three months or so without having done more than respond to a few comments over here. Well, that and do the usual updating for security reasons and, um, malware prevention reasons. So why have I been quiet? Simply put, I need a vacation … Read the rest

So this is what free time looks like…
It’s amazing what happens when you’re having to do all the things. Like, for instance, you’re undoubtedly going to realize you’re running out of room for things. That is my academic life. So when the end of April hit and another semester ended up falling away behind me, this meant … Read the rest
