Finally

Finally I finished my Thesis, 98 pages, but I forgot my abstract so that should push it over the century mark, beyond. Now I can sit back and watch some good quality South Park Season 2, Happy Birthday Evan

Stan: "Hey Cartman, how come the birthday invitation you gave me says Green Megaman?"

Fantastic work, Evan. I'd love to read it at some point. Did you include source code as an appendix?
In any case, that's rather lengthy for an undergraduate thesis. Good for you.

/it's nice we could all gather hyea.

Excellant speling, never thought of writing it that way.

Do you want to wait until the final copy or do you want it now, it'll be about a month. As it must go through two readers etc etc.

All writing, none of this including code to beef it up.

/its only $8.95, maybe your Mom can put it on layaway for one or two years

What's a typical policy on the length of thesis abstracts? For me (i.e. work term reports) it's always been 1 page at the absolute maximum, although I'm sure that largisher docs may not compress that much.

Jeez, with no code you're going to get countless notes from your 2 readers that say "show work" and the like. I've been there, man!

/so... do you enjoy comic books?

Liz, I'm stomped on the Bear reference, I didn't get naked and start making out with anyone if that's what your getting at???

Yeah the 21st,

As for including code, if you have to include simulation code to get a point across then your not doing a good enough job getting the point across. The only case I could see doing such a thing was if I was writing a thesis on how to include simulation code into a thesis, I'm over-exaggerating but you get the point.

The other important point to note is that I don't include a lot of the simulation details because it would be 150 pages instead of 100. Before you go on criticizing, the important point is I don't have to because that is not what my thesis is on.

/yes but we need a distinguishing property for quick comparision

I was just curious. Usually, code has no place in a thesis because nobody would ever look at it. Everyone trusts that you are able to figure out the nuts and bolts.

Elizabeth, it's true that length isn't the most important -- it takes a big time backseat to content.

/nice to have you hyea.

Yeah yeah, I completely agree. I just always hate it when you get notes that say "show work."
