have the pleasure to have been ranked second in the world for my contributions to MATLAB last month.

To celebrate this occasion, I treated myself to a cup of coffee with two three sugar.

As the day which celebrates love returns, one wonders if alterations are made to the way love is perceived.

On the right is an image from a previous session, back in July 2004.
