Chickens

Personal

Dammit I'm still tired from last week. Research keeps moving forward -- I went through the paper that got accepted and was surprised; at the time of writing I thought it was mostly garbage, but it's not half bad -- and plenty of space to extend the work into a bigger publication. (Hard to do much of significance in 7 pages!)

I figured out that I'm going to send that letter, and I figured out what the end of it is. It's not "never talk to me again", but it is "your willingness to change, or not, determines what happens to our relationship." Que sera, sera.

Thank you for the constant chicken updates. I haven't seen them mentioned explicitly, but I look forward to them every week!

Glad you're feeling better about your paper, I'm sure it was hard to see its value while you were so close to the ideas. Best of luck with that letter, I remember you talking about how difficult it was to write. You're doing a good thing for yourself, I think :)

I'm glad you like them! I worry that I post about them too much :D

Letter's in the mail, so what happens happens.

Chicken haters can ignore them, I'll continue looking forward to updates :)

Best of luck, ilex. I helped a friend do something similar recently. You're brave, and you've got a community here supporting you
