Sweet....looks like I had to have all files together under 40MB instead of each individually. Ha - guess that was too good to believe. Nice to have that paper back off my desk.
And with this post I found out how easy it is to post, by sending an email from my smartphone.
crash time....

Entering the blogosphere...
Well, I figured I'd create one of these. I don't anticipate promoting this to anyone....just plan it as a place to put random thoughts, interesting finds, and general complaints. This will be for all the times I'd like to do a brain dump and there isn't someone that I care to talk to.
Briefly, about me:
I'm currently working on getting my PhD in an engineering field, having quit a decent job a few years back to go to school. I'm planning on staying in academia after finishing up next May (BETTER, DAMMIT!) then following the usual process of post-doc(s) before trying to get a tenure-track faculty position. So, I've got plenty of comments and complaints as I go through this process.
Outside of "work" (ha...so often it isn't that), I enjoy sports, movies, and the outdoors. I love (though sometimes dislike) playing basketball. I'll go through cycles of playing a lot interspersed with infrequent hooping due to being tired of regulars I play with or achy joints or other things going on (usually a combination of all 3). I'm a big college basketball fan and also pay attention to the NBA. Aside from basketball, I am a baseball fan (fanhood eclipsed by hoops in '94, most likely, due to MLB strike and me taking a year off from baseball during high school), and follow it fairly closely. Sports are a good outlet for exercise and to escape. I've gotten more into running this summer, mainly thanks to my girlfriend. In the last few weeks, as I've run 3 miles several times a week, I seem to have crossed the "this is nearly painful" threshold into "gosh, I kinda enjoy this". Now, I look forward to running, especially when I'm annoyed with playing basketball. Strange, in retrospect. I've even run 2 5k's this summer! (first distance runs/races in 10+ years, since early high school).
Looking at this entry window, that reminds me of a problem...or just another 'quality' of mine: I tend to be thorough when describing something. It tends to pay off on the 'job' but can lend to being wordy on things like this. So, I'll stop with this initial post now and maybe return to this later.
Tonight: (re)Submitting my 2nd journal submission.....I thought it was all set on the journal's website, but I got a warning message saying my file size(s) were too big. Hope the unclear instructions don't mean that all files summed have to be less than 40 MB....I kept individual files < 40 MB, but the total has to be well over 100 MB.......
gah!
