Congratulations. Now you can look forward to a lifetime of "Doctor,

Congrats! :-)

Let me know if you want to make any changes to
<http://home.earthlink.net/~patricia_shanahan/beginner.html>
to reflect the new status. ;)

That page has been a bit more referenced around
the Sun forums recently, so it's still very
relevant to those who are just starting out -
as well as more experienced programmers who just
get stuck.

(Might be good to fix that 'sutudent' spelling
mistake I probably introduced into the document,
as well..)

Now that I have some more time, I plan to review my personal web pages
and add some material. I'll try to fix spelling mistakes, and possibly
improve the wording - I've learned a bit about writing in producing
academic papers and my dissertation.

"Machine Learning for Context-Aware Reminders and Suggestions".

I plan to put a copy of the dissertation on my web site, but I want to
reformat it first. The official version is double spaced, with wide margins.

Surely, to prevent any "Fermat's own proof" repetitions in future :-)

Congratulations Patricia! I hope to follow in your footsteps one day.

You have made a very valuable contribution to these groups and I for one
really appreciate that.

We'll eagerly wait for the publication. Hopefully I find the time to
digest it... :-)

CONGRATULATIONS!! (Normally all-upper-case and multiple
exclamation points would be excessive. But for some news they
seem just right. The last stages of the PhD process can be
nerve-racking -- IME anyway.)

So, Dr. Shanahan [*], what's next?

[*] Are you accustomed yet to being called this? :-)

W00t-W00t! I hope this doesn't mean you'll
be too busy now to visit c.l.j.p in the future.
