I think I've done it, though I'll sit on it for a few days to be sure.

I took a stab at the conference thing again, but it's proving remarkably resistant, and my energy is low.

[Parasaurolophus]

Okay, well, no more excuses. Must make progress on the conference talk.

I think I've found a way in. It won't be pretty, but whatever.

[Parasaurolophus]

Just the conference paper today.

Just the conference paper today.

~900 words. I've found my way in, which allows me to rely heavily on some of the material from my solo translation's intro. So that's nice. And it looks like I've threaded it in sufficiently well that I'll be able to build on it over the next few days.

Phew! I was getting worried.

[Parasaurolophus]

I'll do what I can to get some writing of the conference paper done, although I've been warned of a big disruption this morning. Sigh. I just can't seem to get a proper hands-free-typing day. It's been weeks.

Wrote 400, cannibalized 1100. I'm two-thirds of the way to a paper!

More work on the conference piece today.

Meh, didn't get much done, just ~400 semi-cannibalized words.

[Parasaurolophus]

My perennially rejected paper was rejected again. Too bad, because it's pretty good. Sigh.

Today, I'd like to make progress on the conference piece and finish double checking the paper accepted with minor revisions.

Uuuuugh. The referee was very happy with it--but it got rejected because it was scooped. In fairness, the scooping happened years ago, shortly after I first sent a draft in to a journal. I thought I'd done a good job in the intervening years of showing how this builds on that, but I guess not. Oh well. Bugger it, I'll just re-send it as-is.

I sent in the accepted paper. Didn't make much progress on the conference piece because it's cursed, and all of my hands-free time was hijacked. Only got ~500 words in. Which is okay, but I'd have liked to get it pretty much done before the weekend, when we will have guests. Especially since I have to send it in the 13th.

[Parasaurolophus]

I'm not sure I'll have the time, but I'd like to do a bit on the conference piece.
