What's everyone up to right now?
RE: What's everyone up to right now?
I'm working out how to derive the spherically symmetric solutions u(x1,...,xn) of Laplace's equation in n dimensional space.  In particular, the problem asks the reader to derive the equation for n=2 and n>2 (the book showed how to derive the equation for n=3, specifically for u(x,y,z)=f ( r ), where r= sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2)).

Just remember not to drink and derive.

I did a bad thing.

I bought a package of Haribo Bears at Kroger today. Just strolled down the candy aisle like I don't have a problem.

I relapsed.

I never had a problem with candy. I can go years before a craving sets in. Then I can eat one single piece of candy and I can go years without candy again.

Yeah, I'm not a big eater of candy, either.

Or cake, or even chocolate.

I have two flavours of chocolate I will buy occasionally, but that's about it.

Most candy I can take or leave.

But Haribos are a special case. I eat a whole package and I can't stop myself.

Time for bed. I'm an old man who cannot seem to stay awake past 10pm anymore.

Just took a pic of a spider on the ceiling of my kitchen.

As long as they weren't sugar free, you did good. Wink
