humidity, vermin, etc.

Make yourselves at home. My door is always unlocked, but it does seem to stick sometimes. I will try to solve the problem. It may just be the humidity.

It seems that by the time people had managed to push their way into the previous post all the nice fruit and cheese that I had left out had been devoured by vermin. Help yourselves to anything you find, but I would be cautious in approaching anything in the back corners of the fridge.

I will be back this evening, ready to attempt a nonempty post. Right now I have some work to do in the real world.

something

Yes, well, so it seems that this is a blog after all, since people have commented and AJP♔ has even listed it at his blog. I suppose I had better write something.

Welcome, invisible friends. The fire is lit. I hope there are enough chairs. Like Mr. Darcy's sister at Pemberley, I am a little unsure of myself in my rôle as host. Such distinguished company! Why is Mrs. Annesley making faces at me? Oh, I forgot the refreshments -- here, please help yourselves.

(Please, someone else say something.)

About Me

I am a professor of mathematics. (I began calling myself "Empty" or Ø when hanging around at blogs, because I am somewhat fixated on the empty set. Students and colleagues know that I can be a bit of an ancient mariner about it.)
