Bit strange, that. I've never been asked to give a reference before, and now two in one day. Still, I'm happy to do it, for the most part, and it's nice that I'm apparently now a trustworthy source for such things. Curious. Oh well...
So, give a reference. Take a reference, well... I'm trying to ease into the whole thesis-writing thing by writing a series of case studies on system-safety failures (currently Nimrod, THERAC-25 and Ariane-5, but I suspect more will turn up whenever I get bored of the bits I'm writing later). I've no idea which if any will make it into the thesis, as several of them are kinda the same and they're not all really relevant to the topic, but it gets me back into writing long documents instead of code snippets, which is going to be necessary, of course. The actual writing probably restarts Monday next week, with the technical introduction, but one thing at a time. I'd start it tomorrow, but tomorrow is full of meetings, which are a necessary evil.
To bed, then, so I might sleep and be ready for an awesome tomorrow. Or something.
