Bleah.

Still Awake. I guess I should try going to bed now, as I'm quite tired.

I just don't feel like sleeping though. I feel very unmotivated to do anything at all right now. I'm not sure if its boredom or ennui, but its sapping my ability to get anything done right now.

Ah well, maybe if I do the crossword in bed, my eyes will close on their own accord.

Awake, or something.

Well, I guess I'm awake. My Alarm went off at 11:00 am, and I dragged myself out of bed at 12:30, but I'm still in the process of waking up. I ended up spending much of last night reading through some of my friends old LJ posts, from before I friended them.

Still, I feel somewhat better today. A bit more energetic (only a bit though), which is good, because I have a bunch of financial research to do which I've been putting off forever. In fact, it was originally due LAST tuesday, but K kept calling and putting off the meeting, so I kept putting off doing the work. The current plan is to have the meeting on Monday morning, so I had best do the research today.

Most of tomorrow is going to be taken up by traipsing through IKEA with a bunch of friends, so I won't have a chance to do the work then. Its going to be a Bed/Mattress Testing/Hunting expedition, and should be fun. I do enjoy IKEA, and desperately need a new bed and mattress. (If anyone wants to join in the Traipsing, just let me know. The more the merrier.)

I can't actually BUY anything right now, of course, but my hopes for the Avionics company have picked up a bit this week, so I'm trying to be cautiously hopeful. I get more work done that way. The new information I got, that changed my outlook, was the last name of the 'Potential Investor' who may want to give us money. I did a bit of googling and discovered that, rather than being a small agent working for an avionics conglomerate, he's president and a full partner. This means he has far more clout and possible access to ready cash than I had deemed likely.

Why 'K' hadn't told me this earlier, I dunno. I think K has trouble figuring out what he knows that he hasn't told people. I'll ask him a question, and he'll tell me that he'll go find the answer, but once he has the answer, he assumes I already know it, because he does. It makes for unproductive meetings and I often feel like I'm a member of the Inquisition, because I have to keep asking the same questions, as many different ways as possible, before I get an answer that contains any useful facts. I don't think K is trying to hide anything. I just don't think we speak the same language when we try to communicate. Its something we're both going to have to work on.

Nonintuitive Math.

So, I just learned that as the number of dimensions of an N-Sphere grows beyond 5, its hypervolume increases ever more slowly with radius, so that its volume approaches zero, regardless of radius! Thus, I believe (if I'm not misremembering how the limits of gamma functions work) that an infinite-dimensional sphere of infinite radius has zero volume!

Niftoids.

I went on a journey into the deepest, darkest past of nancyrihakova's LJ, and I returned with a treasure!
