I hate it when computers don't do what I think they should

I am getting quite frustrated with this set of calculations. ( rant and technical details behind cut )

Something weird is going on some place, and I have no idea why! And it is now 22:35 and I've not written *any* new words for my thesis today. This is not good. I'm now tired and frustrated, and torn between putting down the computer and going to bed, or finding some other aspect of the thesis to work on for a bit so that I can get some words written today.

But rather than leaving you with a rant, I will also report that I managed to accomplish a fair bit of non-uni stuff today. My kitchen ceiling is, once again, mould free (and it hasn't been all that long since the last time I had to clean that!). The wall behind the kitchen couch is, once again, mould free (though I must confess that it has been a bit longer since that task was last done). The floors have been swept & spot-cleaned or vacuumed (as appropriate), my clothes have been washed, and I made a bit more progress on converting that knit dress into a cardigan--the old turtle-neck has been separated into two halves and each half has been stitched down to the sleeves with the first pass of stitching. Next I need to cut off the original, weird, puffy sleeve endings and finish the seams at the join and sew shut the new portion of the sleeves. Then I can attach the puffy bits as pockets and add some sort of button closure system and I'll have a wearable garment!
