Tam

Oh, you'd be much better off spending your weekend cycling WITHOUT the
code stuff, trust me.

Tam

No seriously, trust me.

Heh. Defacto supervisor (main supervisor has gone and alienated his
whole group. Way to go.) has asked for a draft of the 4 page letter
by Wednesday. Damn, you can't fit nearly enough figures in 4 pages.
At least I get to skimp on the methodology, most of which I don't
understand 🙂

There are running jobs. Why don't you go chase them?

so it's not a prerequisite then? 😉

*sighs* unfortunately end of semester, new semester looming, much of the weekend will be 'work'.

Hopefully an early morning jaunt though 🙂

damned paramaters I provided to my über script.

Isn't that why you write up as you go?

Boot to the head!

I have a cartoon for you, but alas some [censored] has taken it off the
cubical wall, so I can't google for the speech bubbles.

Does this mean I've got to mark projects or something?

Gah! I really didn't budget for this in my time allocation for the
next month.

God, I hope the students just forget to mail me with their projects.
Maybe I should just... tweak... this here spam filter...

Experiments must be reproducible; they should all fail in the same way.

Isn't that the cue for claiming that really good code doesn't need to be
commented, the whole thing should just be self-evident?

Actually _really_good_ code is a work of art, and *shouldn't* be commented 😉

Besides, how often do you see:

i++; /* increment counter */

*nods sadly* I never budget time for it... that would be like purposefully seeking hills to climb 🙂

But, it came from here somewhere - I'm guessing about 5 months ago, if
you want to look through every one 🙂
