Enthusiasm and motivation are infectious and I'm a little curious about what you're working on. Whatever it is, I hope you continue to have fun with it.

Random guessing aside, I just wanted to say that I really like the word <i>scuppered.</i> It sounds like afternoon tea gone horribly wrong. I don't recall seeing it anywhere other than the Cluracan's story in <i>Sandman: World's End,</i> but my memory is a long way from infallible. -1/12 = -2/24. . . hmmm. . . a constant term in a Hamiltonian produced by normal-ordering an infinite sequence of terms involving creation and annihilation operators?
