I give up.
I'm officially desperate.
If you need a security person you can get me at bargain basement cost because I'm gonna be super fucked here in a bit if I don't find SOMETHING.
I've been out of work 8 months.
I can't afford to keep going.

This is my resume
You tell me how I don't have a job yet

Despite the large number of new papers in the cs.CV category on arXiv.org today (136), I only boosted 5 papers out of the lot since those were the ones I found interesting 🙂

Reading done. On to other stuff!

This is why I let the dill go to seed. It's one of the food plants of Black Swallowtail caterpillars like this one from last summer. Currently it is in diapause out in the garage and will be released in the same garden this spring when it emerges. #Gardening #Herbs #Butterflies #Insects

A whopping 136 papers in the cs.CV category on arXiv.org today — 96 new, 40 updated.

If there’s more than the usual number of interesting papers there today, I’m in for a long wade through papers today 😛

Green Ridge Windmill, Brighton, UK. Also known as Waterhall Mill, it was built in 1885. It was the last windmill built in Sussex, and was working until 1924. In World War II it was used by the Home Guard as a lookout post. The mill was converted into a house in 1963, and externally restored. The sweeps (Sussex dialect for sails) were replaced in 1974. This is my nearest large open space, and I love it.

I suppose you might be fed up with shots of the #AuroraBorealis by now, so I’ll just sneak in this moon photo with the #MirrieDancers photobombing! 😊

Tom Hanks movies can go either way — there are ones that I’ve absolutely loved, and then there are ones that I care nothing whatsoever for (and I’m looking at you, “Finch” …)

But “A Man Called Otto”, what can I say? It feels like his best movie ever, at least right now just after watching it, feels like one of his very best 🙂 I loved everything about the movie and how the story unfolded. It was a brilliant performance, and a great story!
