2009-12-11 :: /fun

It is downright scary how accurately PhD comics keep documenting my life:

(I am on holidays all of December to play with my Little One, during the day. Which effectively means that I work from home and at night four days per week, and only go one day per week to university... Oh well. Did I mention the guy in the comic is named Mike?)

UPDATE 2010-01-14: Two More...

For what it's worth, Mikel also provides Atta, which is a similar project but based on Gambit Scheme.
