A quick update

The past few weeks seem to have flown by - I seem to have started six or seven projects, and completed precisely none of them.

Do you like numbers?

I do. I think numbers are wonderful; because they provide one of the best frameworks for doing mathematics, an endeavour that is close to my heart*; because they themselves are the prototypical example of a purely imaginary construct which nevertheless models the world remarkably well; because they are rigid, structured, and ordered, but from them spring complexity of such dizzying and breath-taking scope that you cannot help but be awed by it.
