Papers I find interesting---mostly, but not solely, in Process Algebra---, and some fun stuff in Mathematics and Computer Science at large and on general issues related to research, teaching and academic life.

Friday Fun

Believe me, I know what you mean.One of the members of my extended family (PhD in algebraic topology and a good track record in research and teaching) left academia after a series of temporary teaching positions with very heavy teaching loads.
Eventually, he moved to a much better paid job for a top computer science firm. (You can probably guess which one.) So his story has had a happy end, even though not mathematically speaking.
It is not fun at all, it is tragic, because it is true (well beyond the (intended) joke).

I can see my future on a computer science firm :/
