What I did today

Some days, proving a mathematical result is like building a Rolls-Royce engine, every piece perfectly shaped and meshing precisely with the next.

Some days, it's like patching up a battered Volkswagen with duct tape and chewing gum, in the hope that it can go just a little further before it falls apart.

Guess what sort of day I just had.

(At least I didn't quite end up having to pee in the radiator.)

(no subject)

Also, why does MathType not have an 'approximately less than' symbol? It's a perfectly legitimatish concept, dammit.
