My doctoral thesis just got mailed to the university press. I'll go there myself on Monday to pick out cover design and talk through the delivery with them.
Holy ****. I'm done.

And congratulations again. I have to say that I like the language in your dissertation more than mine---it reads much easier. (Now if I could understand all the words... ;-) ).
I have had quite a bit of help with the language (apart from my own 1337 skillz accumulated over the years) - my advisor is from the UK, did his PhD at Cambridge, and has had a lot of language-cleanup-comments in the last few rereads.
And besides, I subscribe to John Baez' school of Mathematics As Stories - and have tried to Tell The Story of How To Compute A-infinity Structures. It helps that I aim the dissertation at two different crowds of mathematician, neither of which knows all too much about the other field...
I'm very sorry I wasn't able to help more with your thesis - job applications, and the juggling convention, and my own thesis, and N other things intervened :-(
