Great news

Craig Laughton, the author of Gooseania finally finished his Phd today. It took him 4 years, but in his last post he said that he passed his viva successfully with minor correction. He thinks it will only take a day or two to correct his thesis.
In his blog he documented the entire process of doing a Phd, from the very beginning to the viva. Unfortunately, he came to the conclusion that he doesn't want to be a mathematician.... If you consider doing an advanced degree in any subject you should probably check his blog.
