At work, talking to Asif about transcribing math symbols to braille.
I'm not sure where either one of them ended up...

Crazy stuff... One of my good friends from NM was doing his PhD in something that had to do with developing Braille-based calculus for use in 3-dimensional planar systems or some crazy thing like that. All I know is that this was at NMSU.

Ya, this was at A.S.U. and I was one of the proofreaders for the braille transcriptions. We were doing text books for several colleges; a complete nightmare that involved a lot of computer code.

I did proofread calculus books, not that I could solve any of the problems, but I new the braille code for the math symbols. What's worse is that I am a very slow braille reader. On the other hand, I lasted longer than any other proofreader that had worked there; I had bills to pay!

Most of the staff were from India, and a couple were from Pakistan, China, different places.

Ah, a fine institution of higher learning NMSU! I have two degrees from there and many fine memories; for example one night on the bell tower after several droughts of a minimal Italian red...Oh wait this is a Family forum...Never mind.... Go Aggies!
