So as I've said, I'm not going to be posting here anymore. If anyone's interested in stuff more non-personal, and more "intellectual", you're welcome to check out atleastintheory.livejournal.com

In the past few days I have done the following:

1. challenged maxim-guy to find this blog, which he did, thus causing me to lose face magnificently.

2. resurrected my research-work slightly, and inventoried yet more stuff.
