I've finally begun writing the article on rook theory for wikipedia that I've been putting off for a month or two. It turns out that my pride can only handle so much procrastination, which I suppose is a good thing. I've only managed a couple of paragraphs so far, but there's an article that I'll want to reference in the library, so I may increase it by a couple of paragraphs by the end of the day.
I finished reading Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey last night. I seem to recall it being longer, but it may be that I moved directly to the second book last time, and didn't think of the length of the book. It's possible, too, that I'm reading more quickly now, due to massively more practice, but I've no good way to measure that.
This morning I read an article from the APA website: Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments. Now, how could I resist reading something with a title like that? It was mentioned on wikien-l and turned out to be an interesting read. The title serves as a pretty good executive summary of the article, since much of the rest is just data and an explanation of the testing methods. The important result is that people who are especially incompetent are unable to realize this fact, and are also unable to recognize competence in others.
On an unrelated note, I've been working my way through Handbook of Analysis and Its Foundations by Schechter. I think I'm averaging around six pages an hour, which either means that I'm very bad at math or that the book is very good. Obviously, I'm hoping for the latter. I've gained a few new perspectives and not a little actual new knowledge from the book, so I may record them here later. But now, it is time for class.
