Studying the Java programming language,
Studying Python programming language,
Still do mathematics:
Digesting Euclid's
Elements
on free time,
Recently
digested Ian Stewart's book on Galois
Theory, a field of which I knew little.
Pieced through Joseph Liouville's construction of a transcendental number, later typesetting, at
this link.
I spent near three years studying Russian in college, and
three weeks in Russia July 2009. Before going there and while
there I read Maxim Gorki's Twenty-six Men and a Girl, and
translated the story after returning, at this
link. Something of an exercise in two languages.
Another short story I translated from Russian, Mikhail
Zoshchenko's ultra-short story Nervous People, at this
link.

 Still
slowly reading Arthur
Golding's 1567 translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses

Here Daphne
chased by Apollo metamorphoses into a bay laurel tree.
