moritz_ masak: nopaste.snit.ch/14693 is that understandable? 15:38
if yes, I'll put it up on my blog
masak reads 15:39
the 'but' after the comma in the "A mesoscopic system..." paragraph. I don't understand why it's there. 15:40
I consider a few nanometers to be quite small :)
moritz_ argh, that should read "larger than" 15:41
masak that explains it :)
moritz_ my vim spell checker doesn't know about "mesoscopic" ;)
masak doesn't surprise me.
moritz_: I thought Ohm's law was I = V/R, not something about lengths and cross sections. 15:42
there's a misspelling of increase in the text: 'icrease'. 15:43
moritz_ masak: I thought that too, but all the meso books say so (re Ohm)
masak oki 15:44
moritz_ masak: actually all the solid state books
;-)
masak (as if there were other kinds of books)
moritz_ (solid state physics is a very obscure and messy branch of physics. Sadly 80% of our department does exactly that ) 15:45
masak why obscure and messy?
(I'd have put a comma after "In a semiconductor", but perhaps that's just me)
also, s/two beam/two beams/ 15:46
moritz_ because the systems are so compilcated that all calculations rely on approximations that are only a tiny bit justified
masak s/roughly/roughly be/
moritz_: sounds like my field, biology!
"we know this is wrong, but it's the best theory we have at present" 15:47
moritz_ so the choice of approximations is nearly always only justified if the results sound good, which is IMHO the wrong way round ;)
masak aye.
s/voltage that's/voltage/ # though both work 15:48
moritz_ (actually there are better theories, like field theory + topology, but they are even more complicated, and nothing you learn during a normal physics course)
masak I don't know if "a charge is assembled" is the right expression. I'd have said "accumulated" 15:49
people can assemble, charge cannot, by me
moritz_ yes, that's better
thanks for all the suggestions/fixes
masak np
you're inconsistently using "ie"/"i.e."
moritz_ I'll settle on ie 15:50
masak either is fine (I think), but make up your mind :)
moritz_ afk (will publish later9 15:56
masak moritz_++ 16:13
moritz_ @tell masak could you please check if rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=57710 still segfaults for you? looks fine here... 18:42
zarah moritz_'s link is also tinyurl.com/639mvk
Consider it noted.

masak OH HAI 20:01
zarah hi masak
masak: You have new messages. Write '@messages' to read them.
masak @massages 20:02
zarah masak: 1 h 19 m 30 s ago, moritz_ said could you please check if rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=57710 still segfaults for you? looks fine here...
masak sounds like a thing that usually segfaults here...
masak checks
hey, it didn't segfault! :D 20:03
masak resolves #57710 20:04
moritz_ hey, that's 3 closed tickets on my run threw the queue
masak moritz_++ 20:05
moritz_: irclog.perlgeek.de/text.pl?channel=...2008-11-22 tells me 'invalid channel name' :/ 20:06
zarah masak's link is also tinyurl.com/55q62f
masak moritz_: don'y you DRY? :P
s/y/t/ 20:07
moritz_ fixed. 20:09
masak gracias.
moritz_ bitteschön ;) 20:10
masak heh :) 20:11
moritz_ masak: it's now up on perlgeek.de/blog-en/meso.html 21:10
zarah moritz_'s link is also tinyurl.com/689ujj
moritz_ masak++ # all these corrections
masak np.
and I'm very much interested to know what you find in your diploma thesis work. 21:12
moritz_ is curious if he'll find anything new at all ;) 21:13
masak that's something you can't guarantee in research. 21:14
I think I might actually call it an early night tonight. 22:05
I have to get up early tomorrow, and before that I have to learn a lot of Chinese characters.
might as well do that at home.
masak waves
