December 20th That's Dr Payne to you.....

Six and a half years. $250,000 of uncle sams money. 297 pages of thesis. And all I get is a lollipop, with PhinisheD stuck on it. I was at least expecting a band, a triumphal fanfare, maybe some dancing girls. Damn! Perhaps they're trying to tell me I'm a sucker...... 

All done. You shall now refer to me as Dr Payne. Muh ha ha ha ha!!!

PS. BTW, if you're interested, bored, or masochistic, there is a copy of my thesis here. In particular, check out the fourth line from the bottom on Page 22 of the PDF (Page 4 of the thesis). :-)
