I bought a stereo a couple of weeks back. Listening to all my old CDs. So much great music. So many memories.
I forgot (in a sense) just how many New Order songs I loved.

Writing my first ever 100% theoretical paper. How exciting!!
Very glad to have @interestingmonkey.bsky.social help on this one because I do *not* know what I'm doing.
I mean I think the work is sound just not sure how to write it up.

I am starting to feel like an expert again. Particularly in grammatical inference. I really do know quite a bit about this stuff.

Woot! Woot!
The paper by Sabine and I on using language models for question generation was nominated for Best Paper at the 2025 Intelligent Tutoring Systems conference!
It is so much work conducting research and writing a paper. It just feels great to have it recognized in any way at all.

Back when I was doing my PhD, my supervisor used to call our weekly meeting the "Jason Entertainment Hour." Because I usually pretty prepared, and had something to present and/or argue. Working with him again I feel like the "Jason Entertainment Hour" is back on the air!

I'm very excited to be working on some theoretical CS with my former PhD supervisor @interestingmonkey.bsky.social!
I've been smiling ever since he answered my email with his thoughts. We work so well together! And to make a break into theory is exciting!

I’ve packed things you people wouldn’t believe.
Board game boxes warped by forgotten cola spills.
I watched socks vanish beneath the flaps of sealed cartons.
All those… items… will be misplaced in time, like pens beneath couch cushions.
Time… to tape.

I know I've said this a lot but I can listen to "Echoes of the Infinite" for hours. It is like listening to my soul. It fills me with joy and sorrow, all at the same time. I honestly not sure I will ever compose anything that speaks to me personally as vividly.

I just had a flash of insight concerning solving trapped problem spaces.
This means I probably won't falls asleep until 1 AM. LOL

I've never had a favorite Biblical verse before but now I do. This one speaks to me at a deep level.
"learn to do good;
seek justice;
rescue the oppressed;
defend the orphan;
plead for the widow." (Isaiah 1:17)

Started some preliminary research a new machine learning algorithm to solved trapped p-spaces.
And yes the D&D player in me is like "Trapped p-spaces? What is the DC to disarm the trap?"
