New Post: Moving back to Venezuela
I moved back to Caracas two weeks ago. That means packing things up, throwing away, and saying goodbye to the tons of incredible friends we have found during these wonderful years.
Living in Caracas means four hours a day spend in going to and coming from the university where I work. Adding up the time spent on filling up forms and setting up my office, there has been so much time left for real work.
I am going back to a tenure-track position. This term I have just one load (thanks for your understanding). The course is Symbolic Logic, using the harder method I know for teaching that. The textbook is by Gries and Schneider. They were using it when I leaved for PhD five years ago, and still using it. The same formalism is used for the Discrete Math and the 1st Algorithms course. I don’t know whether the students are getting better education but this way may be useful for me. I think I will try to get deep understanding of all this.
We are almost done we that journal paper, at least for submission. Exactly after that, I will go back to writing a filling gaps. I think I will start with the proof pending on previous papers.
I will try to catch up with this blog, for keeping records of anything I could do about thesis.
PS: Still waiting for the feature of Posterous that may allow to put a prefix for Twitter auto-posting. Meanwhile I hacked it by putting New Post in the title of the post.
