Further proof that GCSE metalwork was the most valuable part of my formal education.

Yak-shaving at its finest:

• This weekend, I wanted to work on my thesis.
• But my laptop refused to boot up (inevitable, really, after this post). I had backups of the thesis, but they were a few days old.
  • Edit: First, I tried booting from CD.
  • But that didn't work.
  • So I tried some other CDs.

I still needed a computer to work on.

Nah, that's false laziness. If I'd been truly lazy, I'd have set up an automatic backup script.

The three great virtues of a programmer (or a mathematician) are Laziness, Impatience and Hubris :-)

I got subversion going on my mac for tex for while. But the cool factor wore off. That's a classy way to backup.
