oh so that was what post doc something was.

Cool, now you'll make tons of money so that you can not only give us games, but cash as well :P

Anyways, congrats on the PhD (in advance)

Congratz!! What's your thesis on?

I'm taking a 400 level course on differential equations next semester, it promises to be extra special fun!

Yeah, that stuff is fun.  What does 400 translate too?  PDE stuff?  Advanced ODE?

The thesis is on...  flat chains in banach spaces!  Great fun.  The main thing was to prove the existence of minimal surfaces in non-euclidean vector spaces.  Now I just need a job!

400 level stuff means that it's an advanced course for an undergrad.  Basically, you take them for your major and minor.  I'm still going for a minor in math, despite hating things like vector spaces!   :p

400 level? Jesus, anything to sound big. Would take me YEARS to get to level 400 in Progress Quest

I just made level 16!  Woo!  But you have to consider, it took me 20 years to get to 400 level courses.  That's a lot of progress!

If I know toady one as well as I do, he has already coded those 1270 lines in a coding spree started by to much caffeine and sugar.

Also, during said coding spree he managed to think up 15,000 new issues, bringing the line count well over the 100,000 mark... Dwarf fortress comes out next millenia boys and girls  :)

1251, dum de dum...  there were some coding sprees, but it's slow moving all the way to the end.  Caffeine and sugar were still involved.

But if we assigned four dwarves to help him, it would go five times as fast...  27 days!
