oh the humanity

Last week, I couldn't remember the equation for a line, or how to determine if a point is on a line.

This week, I can't remember anything at all about matrix multiplication.

I used be pretty good at this stuff, once.

It would be cruel of me to mention the number of times you tried this, as indicated by the number of email notifications I got. Even if it was only three attempts.

Whoopsy. Me and my big mouth.

I'm with jsam on this one, btw. Except for textbooks I use the web.

Well, thanks for not mentioning it. Wouldn't do to be cruel.

Please mention also that what I had trouble with was the formatting, not the matrix algebra. Even though it was in the middle of a <CODE> block, the non-breaking spaces had to be explicitly specified. You see, dammit Ronan, I'm a doctor, not a computer wonk.

I am perfectly justified in concealing elements of the truth in order to make my story more supportive of any given agenda I wish to pursue, dammit. There's good precedent for it.

I am also perfectly justified in mocking your display of knowledge in the face of my shameful confession. I didn't, after all, say, "please tell me...". Therefore, you're fair game for mockery by whatever means necessary.

Because dammit, I'm a human, not a computer wonk.
