  Strangely enough, my frequency went *up* after we switched to

Likewise - it's midterms here, the strike we had is over so it's back to
business for good til the end of the semester.

Plus it's no help that I'm on a different timezone than everyone else! It
makes it hard to start discussions as easily. I always reply too late!

Me too!  By the time I get home it's evening in California so everyone who
posts from work has gone home.  The upside is that loc.au is just getting
going, and they're one of the more entertaining local groups to lurk in.

Hmmmm...

Which
reminds me--  hey Rosco, if you're reading this, a student of mine is visiting
his grandmother in Perth for the holidays and has promised to bring me back a
jar of Vegemite for extra credit!

Hah! Sounds like you're turning into another "Big V" junkie!! Anytime you've
got some Technic for sale, I'm happy to pay in yucky brown yeast extract[1]!!

Which I think I'll enjoy a bit more than
slogging through the "0 = 1" proof he submitted to me the last time he wanted
some extra points.

When I was a kid, I had a book with about ten different ways to do that -
make an incorrect assumption, and you can prove anything (maybe someone can
even prove Vegemite tastes bad!)

[1] Of course, it's the brown that's yucky, not the yeast extract!!
