from its humble beginnings of 2 contributors and scrappy M$ Word notes converted to text with the strings program, FHSST now has 26 members and our next landmark will be a 4 digit page number :-D (and the LaTeX still compiles every day)

sketerpot joined the FHSST team today. This is good news... we never knew people noticed the project. Everyone is invited to see what we have already and add to it. Its very early days, and none of us have the time to be writing too much, but its started now and [obligatory obvious comment] it won't stop 'till its finished.

math calculations, when done on your blackboard, are never the same as when done properly on paper. this is the thing i am slowly learning in life. today i got stung by that one.

also, the blackboard instantly reduces anyones handwriting age to that of a 5 year old. i'd like to see if a blackboard makes a 4 year old write more clearly...
