yargle (thesis news (lots of swearing)).

I am knackered. Although I have been claiming for weeks that I needed to do something to sort out the mess left by my PhD, I only actually started doing Useful Stuff on Wednesday night. Since then, I have read 5 or 6 papers & someone else's first-year report, skimmed one-and-a-half academic books, and read two chapters of another in full. I am understanding stuff that I never understood in all the time I was officially at college, just because I have a (semi-) functioning brain now. I have pages and pages of notes that will need only minimal rewriting to become pages of thesis.

( And now, all the bad news. )
