{phd.comics} Almost

I was aksed to do a 'new' study to see the potential of a not-yet-established and not-related-to-my-thesis research topic just three days before a conference deadline. I was too scientifically weak and mentally weary to generate a paper in only 3 days. The deadline is now passed, but it is sadly extended to what appears to be 5 days later. I still can't think of any new idea with a 'quick' implementation 'modifying the previous code' and a short time-to-conference. Who would read such a paper (generated in 8 days) anyways? Besides, WHAT ABOUT MY THESIS WORK? :-) I do sleep a lot these days.
