The airport was closed due to fog, my brain follows suit

Today, in a fit of responsible parenting I kept h home as he had a cold, and I didn't think he would really enjoy childcare, and would also be highly Ctagious. He'll still be Ctagious tomorrow, but I don't care any more. Unless he seems really very sick tomorrow, in which case the thesis hits the back burner yet again.

But last night R solved a big mystery about @risk and how to put in peculiar or specific distributions. In statistics, suddenly I need the artist page. Then I can draw any distribution I like to any size I like and the program will develop a formula to describe it and shove it into excel. Excellent, duude. So i made some pretty wierd distributions and ran the model again, and it works. Dude - fantastic.

Tonight we had Irish stew by candle light. Baby wants those candles, yes he doess, he wantsss them. He likes Irish stew to, while the elder son does not.

The library is just brimming with fascinating books, and the hardest part is limiting myself to only as many as I can carry. I am having a bit of a house binge, with a lot of renovation and restoration books, as well as books on architecture styles and various architects too. FLW, mmm.

R is going to be able to get our army payment towards accomodation and food while we are moving in advance - hooray. Money won't be impossible. And also we got the perfect credit card bill today - we owe nothing. Perfect.

I just recently found out what RTFM means, and it keeps ringing around my head. I'm a manual reader, and I wish more people would RTFM instead of asking me. (Doesn't that sound grumpy!)

If you like RTFM, you might like this t-shirt. If I had effectively infinite disposable income again, I'd probably buy it myself. :)
