Post-Lecture!

So my first lecture came and went. My little plan to give them short breaks with the odd puzzle worked a bit. The course design makes it really hard to do anything short of just listing formulas and things; I avoided this in the first half (which took quite some planning) but in the second half it dragged, I got a bit bored, and I could feel the same coming from the students. Never mind: there's always next time.

Today, recovering after a postgrad party. Beware Poles with vodka!

Glad to hear your lecture went well. I feel that your blog is a little lacking when it come to high-dimensional topology, however. Not even an exotic sphere...

Satisfied?

By the way, do high-dimensional surgeons have any distinguishing features beyond the fact that they don't actually do any high-dimensional surgery?

Oh here, have some Surgery Overkill.

Gosh! Colour as well! That more than makes up for the deplorable absence of such content from your blog.

BTW the best way to deal with Polish vodka is to offer it to others rather than drinking it yourself. It hurts less that way.

Yeah, the colour's great. Just that, if you're printing onto transparencies, it turns out that all ink, regardless of its colour, is opaque. Consequently the projected image is hopelessly monochrome. Boo.
