Today I’m a happy guy: officially, I’ve finally got a first draft of my complete PhD thesis. From now is only scribbling and making small corrections here and there until my hand-in deadline (next Tuesday).

Thesis

May 14, 2007

I’ve just started writing my Ph.D. thesis. Got my papers together, downloaded the template from the daimi webpage, got a plan in mind for it, time to start working. Hopefully, I will write a nice dissertation until July 31st, so that some really smart guys will say that it deserves a Ph. D. degree.
