  • The first chapter of my MSc thesis was accepted to the ACM OOPS 2016 conference, and I submitted the camera-ready copy and registered for the conference. Now I just have to figure out travel and hotel arrangements and actually prepare the presentation for April!

  • A particular piece of code that I wrote for work (ie: under NDA) shipped to be burned into ROM in October, and the hardware with the ROM arrived this past month (December). I tested it, and it works 90% as-designed. I've submitted a patch adding extra error codes in case we ever get to ship again.

  • I don't remember if this happened in November or December, but I reinvented correlation explanation and had even made a nice visualization before I found out it was published last year.

  • LIkewise, I definitely shipped a patch for Venture sometime in the last month or two.

  • I helped Maia, Roger, Eileen, and David throw the Washington DC Secular Solstice. Really it was David and Eileen doing most of the work, though.

  • The epsilon-delta definition of continuity is annoyingly inelegant compared to the open-set condition.

  • I currently bench at least my lean body weight, and am building up to benching more than that.

Congrats on everything! But

The epsilon-delta definition of continuity is annoyingly inelegant compared to the open-set condition.

That was a "let's see if anyone reads this far" joke-listing :-p.
