Second Year Completed
Filed under: 
ODAY marks a milestone as I submitted my 2nd Year Progress Report (PDF, HTML). My 1st year report was enormous in comparison, totalling at 202 pages which went under the heading Continuation Report (PDF, HTML). Last month I started to work on my thesis and distributed my LyX (front-end to LATEX) template among the LyX users community. This template appears to have become quite popular, which entails a rewarding feeling.
I am expecting to complete my Ph.D. next year, at the age of 24. As for future paths: academia is appealing, industry is appalling and otherwise all is confusing. The next stage remains undecided. I will have to ponder and come up with a decision within the next couple of months. I would like to sincerely thank all my readers, who have unknowingly motivated me to carry on with some heavy burdens. I have recently come under great pressure due to involvement in many (technical) support-related groups, as well as my jobs and the degree program at the University. I am glad to say that I have regained full control and can now cope with all my commitments and obligations.
