Dear everyone:

[maradydd]

Yes, I am ignoring you. September and October are when the early-spring conferences have their deadlines, and I have somewhere between four and six papers to finish between now and Halloween. You do the math. (The research is done, I just have to get it out of my head and my notes and into LaTeX in a form that other people can recognise.) Yes, you can read them, I'll post links to the tech-report versions as they happen. No, there is not much you can do to help, other than leaving me alone, unless you are here to give me a back massage, are going out to pick up food for me so that I don't have to get up, or can send me backward in time. Yes, I miss you. No, I am not dead. Yes, I will be back in touch when I have time to breathe again.

Coffee still works, kind of. I am contemplating alternative delivery mechanisms with better bioavailability.

And I get to do all this over again next April/May for the fall conferences. YAY.

(this post only brought to you by the fact that FC extended their deadline a week.)

I too feel your pain\ldots{} just knocked off a journal deadline myself. And spent 24 hours of the last 48 without electricity and unable to work on the submission. Gah.
