Worked late on a paper today: I have a target to submit 3 before June, which I have been working on in parallel. I sometimes wonder if it would be more efficient to do them one at a time. But much of my job is project work, usually several in parallel, so it's not always possible...

It's been a rough week because so many computer things I wanted to do just were too difficult, didn't work, or I ended up spending (wasting?) too much time on them.
Some things did work though, and I learned a lot. Some of what I learned is that computers and certain companies (and people) suck, but there's always a way around things that don't work.
