In theory, today is supposed to be Halloween, and thus most people are actually going to dress up and go parties etc. Unfortunately, I don't think that I will be doing that—I'm likely to be working on either more homework or other related materials, like adding more useful content for my portal.
A new Pickett slide rule is coming in; this one is 6 inches as oppposed to the 10-inch one that I currently have. With the same number of scales, it is a really portable slide rule and will probably end up being a part of my usual carry-on arsenal. I realised that I have been pampered by the relatively easy-to-use "student" Mars Staedler slide rule—I can't seem to be able to figure out how to do the computations on the Pickett. It seems that I probably need more practice to get the hang of it.
That's a quick blurb for now. Maybe more stuff later.
