This is crummy timing, but today I head back to Waterloo to give my thesis talk. If all goes well, I'll be back with the last of my UW work taken care of by Thursday.

Nate the Great 01-21-2008 07:08 PM

Well, good luck then.

Sa'ar Chasm 01-21-2008 07:51 PM

Break a leg. Here's hoping yours goes as well as mine did. The trick is to pick friendly profs for your committee.

danieldoof 01-22-2008 08:31 AM

Oh I wish you good luck as well :)

Chancellor Valium 01-22-2008 02:01 PM

Best of Luck, Z, though I'm sure you won't need it.

Remember to speak a little slower than natural, to enunciate clearly, and to project. Oh, and look up. :)

Remember to breathe.

"Neglect not your knees."

A true obscure reference. Hey, if CV gets to give worthwhile advice, who am I to not continue the trend? :)

Zeke 01-23-2008 02:03 AM

Many thanks for the support, guys. I nailed the talk -- it's smooth sailing from here.

More when I'm at my computer again. The PSP "keyboard" is a harsh mistress.

Woohoo! :D

When he left, he was but the learner. Now, *he* is the Master.

Welcome to the club.

Only a master of terrible puns, Sa'arth.

Way to go, oh Zekey one. :)

Nate the Great 01-23-2008 12:24 PM

On whose door did you nail the talk? And did Martin Luther sue you for plagarism? :)

Congratulations. You deserve it. :)

@Nate: I'd start running. I really don't think Zeke will appreciate the comparison with Luther. :p

Nate the Great 01-23-2008 05:41 PM

I stand by my joke. Zeke himself said that he "nailed the talk." Seems like a perfectly natural setup for a punchline to me.

When do they want the final revised final polished final final version of your thesis, Zeke?

Nate the Great 01-24-2008 02:20 AM

I was sort of hoping that if anyone WERE to decapitate me and attach my head to a coffee table, they'd forego the nails and use the handyman's secret weapon: duct tape. :)

If only stills of Monty Python sketches were available online....

ijdgaf 01-25-2008 05:04 PM

Wait, rewind....

PSP? Congratulations.

Indeed, what a horrible, horrible keypad. Otherwise, good system.
