from Prof. Dugald:

We did actually send you an email on March 29 inviting you for interview (see the bottom of this email) but possibly it didn't reach you. We would still be happy to invite you for interview, if you would like to come, but as Professor Partington indicated, there is intense competition for any funding.

Their loss if they don't take you. You are brilliant! Go to that interview and kick serious logician ass ;)

that was me

[bandslag1]

yep.

Re: development

see now, if they really were logicicians they'd think 'hmmm, why did this dude who applied to us not say whether he could come to an interview or not? That doesn't seem very logical.' But instead they are piles of poo. Who wants to work in a department with piles of poo? It's not logical.

You know I can never say anything appropriate at times like these. So just imagine I'm there, pulling some kind of scrunched-up supposedly sympathetic face and then cracking a bad joke.
