About Me
- Mason
- I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Previously, I was Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I was also a Tutorial Fellow in Somerville College. I am also a die-hard fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers. See my website for more information about me. You can also find me on Facebook and Twitter (@masonporter), though I'm much easier to stalk by other means. If you want power law or Zachary Karate Club swag, take a look at my Power Law Shop. I am also involved with the Legends of Caltech movie and co-edited Legends of Caltech III.

Tough weekend for a game. I'm definately busy Sunday. Likely on Saturday, but that depends on PLCC. Friday I've got the usual menagerie of the lN2 fill and meetings, but that night could work in a pinch.
Looks like I'm free both evenings after about 6pm. Friday night is fine, too.
Ok, between PLCC and GF (which are unfortaunte initials in this case I suppose), I need to be in RB Saturday night. But I have to be in Pas sometime before I got to RB to get my chili pot and maybe borrow another/crock pot as he'd like chili for Sunday (the 2nd would be vegetarian). So, that leaves me Friday evening through Saturday evening free if that works.
This sounds like Friday night is already the only workable night (at least to have everybody present).
I am not following all the acronyms, but I don't see what generating functions have do do with any of this. :) Of course, my life is filled with acronyms, considering the fact that I am a member of both CPI and CPA and that I have both ITS and IST e-mail accounts. Yuck...
I'm busy Friday night, unfortunately. Will be through Feb, probably.
I was also planning on being @ Patti & Gary's on Sunday for the Superbowl, so that's probably out.
I believe "PLCC" is short for Patt[iy] Somethingsomethiing, and "GF" is short for her girlfriend. RB == Redondo Beach.
I sympathize with ya, Mason. I tend to quickly get lost on that sort of thing. I'm especially bad at being completely oblivious at relating what is said to any implied context.
Consider I used to date someone who was especially bad at supplying said context, and you get mass confusion. ZOMGCONFUSED!
