  Hmm...

Well hey, I'm becoming increasingly certain that I'm not going to make the "getting the paper done" task this month, but the word counts are still more or less on track and I'm feeling okay about the paper stuff I have written. I even spent today on that "write something intelligent about the figures" thing, but it feels like it's going slow because like all journal papers it's two columns of tinytext and getting a quarter of a page written is a huge task but not very satisfying from a "watching my pagecount leap forward" perspective.

Today's lesson: \allowdisplaybreaks[1] is your friend. Especially when, like me, you have giant blocks of equations that you'd like lined up wherever possible. This nifty little command allows the blocks of equations to be broken up and split across a page break so that you don't have whitespace all over the place whenever one of those blocks gets bumped to the next page.

Today's nifty link: Eric, by Shaun Tam, a cute little picture book about an exchange student who comes to visit.
