This week I've been working at home a lot. Writing goes a bit easier here sometimes than at Chess.
It made me restore an old habit: drinking tea while studying. The point is that I'm often reading in the evenings and then I don't want to drink coffee. However I forgot an old lesson, that some types of tea contain a lot of caffeine too...
Slept pretty bad; it took me an hour to fall asleep. In the style of drinking to get rid of a hang-over there's one thing giving me hope... the sound of the coffee machine.
Truly a brilliant move of France, Germany and Belgium to veto preparations for preparing defense for Turkey in case of a war.
I mean -- that's what the Alliance is for, isn't it? If there's a potential war at the other side of Europe, who cares that Turkey wants some defense?
Hmm -- sorry if I see this a bit too negative. But I think it's one thing not to agree on attacking Saddam Hussein, quite another matter to danger to relationships in Nato in such a way. Lord Robertson seems to be a little bit optimistic:
"It is serious that after three weeks, we have not got an agreement. But a lot of people are working very hard to make sure an agreement takes place, and I’m confident that if people look at the serious implications of not getting a decision than that will, I hope, give an impetus to providing a solution and getting a consensus."
I'm writing my thesis in Latex, a type-setting system with a lot of useful features. One of the things I'm using now is a tool to convert the list of references I have to HTML.
See this page for an example. The nice thing is that is links to the original version of the papers I've used too.
