Roger,
I just reviewed your thesis and think I have found an error on page 256. So
much work to do these things and, for your sake, I surely hope it will be
worth the effort. I know many PHD's and none of them regret doing the thing
but most of them do not want to do it again either. There are many people
with multiple doctorate degrees though. They must like punishment. I have a
friend with a doctorate in chemical engineering and a degree in law. In his
case, he had a lot of money and really didn't need to work. He has
fly-fished all over the world and has written several books on that subject
in addition to his technical work. If I go back to school I will major in
theater arts. They were having a lot more fun in school than I was.
Congratulations on your accomplishment. Take a break and so some
photography.

Hi everyone,
I may have mentioned my PhD thesis once or twice on list. Well, it's
finished and submitted now, and if anyone wants to see what a monstrous
amount of work it was, have a look at
http://www.world-traveller.org/astro/thesis/Thesis.pdf (4.5Mb file so
unless you're really interested in how much carbon, nitrogen and oxygen
dying stars produce you probably don't want to bother!).
So, now I find myself with time on my hands - evenings and weekends are
mine once again. I'm scanning a backlog of photos and will soon be
doing a fairly big update on gallery.world-traveller.org, but the other
thing I want to do is fix up two 135/3.5 lenses I have which have lens
lock buttons which don't work any more. I searched the archives (great
to have them - thanks Lars!!) and found info about that being a fairly
common problem with a simple fix on the 135/2.8, and just wondered if it
is also simple to sort out with 135/3.5s? Am I likely to be able to
repair the problem without needing new parts?
Cheers,
Roger
