Nice!Also:
I've spent the last month and a half writing a paper while commuting in the mornings and evenings. So far, so good. The bit I drea came up - sending it to my old supervisor. He's next to clinically useless when it comes to getting things done in a timely fashion, but I sent it (and a longish message about other papers), only to find that he's away for three weeks and my email will be buried forever in the dark hole that is his inbox.
Just as an example, when I was writing my thesis, I emailed him four times to ask if he would walk downstairs, load some data on a drive and email it to me. In the end, I had to fly from Hampshire to Glasgow to spend two minutes copying my data across.
