Since there were some questions as to what happened to the cat this blog is so proudly presenting in its sidebar: He died of a congenital heart defect (a flaw cat and catdad share) that we discovered too late. So I spent two weeks in summer trying to keep his lungs to fill with fluid until I had to free him of his pain.

On a lighter note, Richard Stanley gave an interview and mentioned me solving one of his favorite problems. Yay!
