NOKC

I've decided not to go to the Kansas City Worldcon. It would be extremely convenient - just a hop across Missouri - and I'd love a taste of their famous BBQ, but I really need to get the Taxonomy of Polygons papers (which may be metastasizing) written up and out the door, and I suspect I'll need all summer for that.

I will be buying a Supporting Membership, though, so I'll be able to vote on the Hugos.

I spent most of the day playing Skyrim and working on the research paper. I've finished the section laying out the machinery and outlined the section dealing with classes of triangles. I'm much more satisfied with that first section (well, it's actually Section 3) now; the tricky part is explaining whynell we're doing all this junk, and I think I've made that a good deal clearer. One section, four subsections remain, and this is where I have to set the hook for the following papers. Thanks to this past week's discoveries, I'm a bit more sanguine about that as well. We shall see.
