Sheffield

For the last few days I've been at the Sheffield Homotopy Miniconference. Homotopy Theory is a sort of topology where everything's even abstracter than usual and there's very little geometry left. It was a pretty hardcore affair. But Sheffield was nice, as were the people at the conference. Despite the harrowing five-talk-a-day schedule, there was plenty of socialising, and we discussed Rick Jardine's wall of hatred.

I also visited the Arts Tower and rode on the paternoster, though I think my dismount needs some work. Saw J too for lunch. It was fun!

Dude,

You know you have a sad life when you attend a Homotopy Miniconference.

At least if you were going to subject yourself to something like this, attend a MEGA conference. Get it all over with at once!

Who is J?
