Here's another helping of papers: a joint paper with John D'Angelo and Han Peters on proper ball mappings (don't send any puns, I've already thought of them all!). And another one recently on extending Levi-flat hypersurfaces.

As for coding, I haven't done much since the summer when I did a few updates to genius. BTW, genius is now in Ubuntu repositories. In related news, I sort of fell in love with Maxima recently. It lacks some things I can do with genius easier, but whenever I try to seriously use genius I try adding new features and optimizations which really throws me off schedule. And genius doesn't do any real symbolic manipulations which is what I use maxima for.

Maia has been growing up (and throwing up?) nice, see the gallery then scroll to 2006 and click on one of the Maia links.

I've now sent over 90 job applications for the 2007 year for postdocs, so we'll see what turns up. Apparently 90 is on the low end for number of academic job applications one now must send to please the gods.
