Cousin_it said some time ago,

I have a "day job" as a programmer where I show up at the office once a week, so I have more free time than I know what to do with.

Is this something that might be feasible for you? If so, I think people here can probably give you some suggestions on how to find such a day job.

Also, I'm curious, what is your "definite research agenda"?

once a week? - slightly jealous of cousin_it's day programmer job.

I can program, but don't do it much.

what is your "definite research agenda"?

Right now the research topic is, how can I pay next week's rent? But the basic agenda is "CEV, adapted to whatever the true ontology is".
