Well I've finally managed to put together several days of productive thesis work. My thesis is now flirting with the 40 page mark, and there's still a long way to go, but it is coming. It helps that since I did a lot of discussion with Darse concerning the ICGA paper and his thesis, I now have a pretty standard graph format I can use so I don't really have to figure that out. In fact, most of the graphs I just have to reuse as is!

I'm gonna be tackling a hard chapter here tomorrow. Its the one that involves the theoretical proof that the tool I've been working on is unbiased. That section is going to be the hardest to write for several reasons - the most difficult thing is laying the proof out so that it is clearly true, but also so it is understandable and easy to follow. This really isn't my strength.

At any rate, I've realized that there's a limit to the productivity I can have on my thesis on a given day. If I'm able to keep up my current rate of writing though, I'll have a pretty decent start on it by the time my supervisor gets back from holidays. Hopefully he likes what I've managed to come up with! In the meantime, while keeping that pace up, I think I'll actually have some chance to play some poker in the evenings. The insanity of the past few weeks seems to have passed and things are starting to get back to more-or-less of a flow (which is good for my thesis writing!).
