      I'm glad to see you're back! Hopefully, you're feeling better :D

  2. Ah... I survived another trip around the sun!

  3. Leaving for the hospital in a few minutes, I'll be gone for several days, hopefully not as long as the last time. I'll be back!

  4. Well, finished this semester with a 3.5. Hopefully I can keep it up

  5. The surgery went good, and I'm now back at home fully medicated hehehe. I appreciate all the support and comments. Thank you everyone.

      Hehehe... he's got me on 10mg oxycodone. So, I'm feeling good, but I didn't sleep at all last night.

      Well, tomorrow is the big day... I appreciate all of the comments. Hopefully, I'll be back in action and walking normally in about 6 weeks :D

      Apparently, I have osteonecrosis in the ball of my left hip. The doctor want to drill channels into the bone. If that doesn't heal it, then I have to have hip replacement surgery :'(

  8. I've been gone for a few months, but it's great to see all the regulars still here.

  9. Well it's wedding weekend for my youngest son! I'll be back sunday night or monday morning....

  10. Check out my latest composition! It truly is my finest work yet!!! http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/98721-a-concert-by-deadalus/

  11. I'm now light years beyond the Collatz conjecture ;) I just proved 5x+1 using the same mathematics that I used to prove 3x+1, which also works for 1x+1. Now, I'm almost done proving 7x+1, and hope to have the proof for m x + 1 by this weekend :D

      However, I already know that O1 x + O2 has cycles for odd integers greater than one if O2 > 1. I just need to determine how many cycles occur.

      So far, the pattern is holding for odd times X plus one. I'm now working on 9 x + 1. Once I work out the complete proof for odd x + one, I'll try to modify the pattern for O1 times X plus O2.

      That's awesome StringJunky. I used to have a a Marshall full stack and a Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier full stack, but we never listened to the radio through them because of the lack of voice coils in the speakers.

  17. After a few more pages, I'll be done writing my proof of the Collatz conjecture. I know it has been almost two months since I proved it, but I had to do a lot of research to write this paper. Plus, I still have to work and take care of day to day life. However, I will be posting new software that I'm writing that uses my equation to list all possible trajectories of a given height. This stuff is really awesome, and I even have a reporter from KOCO that wants to do an exclusive on me a...

      Thanks for the support Mordred and Studiot. I'm hoping to have the paper submitted by the end of the month. :D

      ... after my proof is accepted.

       

      I just want to thank everyone here at SFN that helped put me on the right path. Many thanks goes to AJB and Mordred. Without you guys, I wouldn't have been able to write this up.

  19. Just got back from lake Thunderbird where my niece, her boyfriend Owen, and I got to see a spectacular show put on by the universe! The Perseids meteor shower was not disappointing tonight! Tomorrow, I'm going to take my boys out to my dad's place where the light pollution is much lower than at the lake. Tomorrow's viewing should prove to be even better than what we seen tonight.

  20. My big brother died yesterday in a bike accident in his beloved Lake District. I might be a little distant for a while

      I'm so sorry to hear about your loss imatfaal. I wouldn't know what to do if my big brother passed away. I can't even imagine what you are going through. My condolences to you and your family in this dark hour.

  22. Well, last Monday, my brother got up again around 12 a.m. while we were all sleeping and fell and broke his left ankle. He now has two broken ankles. :'( After explaining the situation with the hospital's case worker, she recommended that he goes to a nursing home for the next 3 - 6 months so that he can get the proper medical care while his ankles heal.

      I appreciate it guys. Thank you! The past few months have been crazy.
