A paternal moment

[lederhosen]

Only eleven years after starting my PhD, I finally have a published paper. (Nothing to do with the PhD subject, but you can't have everything.)

...and of course, after days of proofreading, the moment I look at the published version I discover a Stealth Typo. I should know better.

Edit: The actual paper is under the 'Downloads' tab.

Congrats! And, um. Never proof after it's too late!!!!

There are always stealth typos...

Well done!

Congratulations again... though I'm not sure I actually said that earlier.

Wasn't there co-authored stuff from $EvilExJob, however?

[lederhosen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've got some co-author credits on papers from there, but my involvement in those was pretty limited; I don't mind putting them on my CV, but they don't really feel like my babies. This is the first one where I've done the heavy lifting.

Ah, right. That's fair. *smile*

You shouldn't use meshblocks, they get saggy when they're wet.

Yay!

Congratulations!

Does this affect your Erdos number?

Re: Yay!

I'm not sure whether my co-author has one...

Stealth Typos are like cockroaches: They will survive the annihilation of civilization.

And Whee! Paper! Whee!!!
