Yesterday I received the good news that my thesis has been accepted for defense. I will defend it on mid-december if nothing happens. I am VERY happy about that because the revision period has lasted for six months, much longer than I expected.

I am learning MS Access, because I have to teach "Introduction to Databases" this semester. Fortunately, I also have to learn Ruby because I am also teaching "Scripting Languages". Learning is fun, even if it is MS Access.

I have been reading about Decision Theory, Game Theory and about Group Decision Theory. I have discovered the amazing Arrow's Theorem, that states that no strategy can make a group choose consistently and democratically from a set of alternatives.

I have also had my first contact with Oryzon genomics, a biotech company on the surroundings and I learned a lot of SELDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

Tomorrow we are travelling to Santander to be with my niece on its Birthday.
