i'm getting better at creating proofs

Visible to anyone in the world

At least, those that centre around me being an idiot.

Today, if I did anything at all, I should have done maths. Although, I suppose that I did do a wee bit of maths.

Here's the story: I got interested in x-nomials [for reasons which my M336 course-mates will understand.] So I started writing a JavaScript script to do it for me.

I noted three things:

  1. My JavaScript skills have withered to crap
  2. I miss a proper IDE—NetBeans has spoiled me
  3. I can do this

It will take me a couple of days, days which I will spend. Why? [given that  moaning about being behind].

Because writing such scripts is why I do all this maths/programming OU stuff—if I don't do them I won't be me. In which case I shouldn't bother.

Losing the Joy is worse than failure.
