Thesis Progress

Currently 200 pages, 182 pages of content (excluding tables of contents and bibliography), 41,453 words.

What is... the Thesis? Loaned from Piled Higher and Deeper. Please visit www.phdcomics.com

The most recent draft is available here: A Framework for Testing Concurrent Programs.

Still to do:

  • go through blog comments and make sure everything important has been said
  • defend!
  • correct!
  • submit!

Growth of the thesis (overall, including front matter and bibliography):

  • 05/04: 182 pages
  • 05/03: 180 pages
  • 05/02: 196 pages
  • 04/26: 180 pages
  • 04/25: 166 pages
  • 04/24: 164 pages
  • 04/22: 154 pages
  • 04/20: 138 pages
  • 04/16: 113 pages
  • 04/15: 108 pages
  • 04/14: 95 pages
  • 04/13: 82 pages
  • 04/09: 82 pages
  • 04/08: 71 pages
  • 03/28: 65 pages
  • 03/16: 59 pages
  • 03/12: 49 pages

I can’t go further back in history because before 03/12, I had all sections stuffed with “Lorem Ipsup” pseudo-text to simulate the layout.

Since I only have one graph in my thesis, here’s another one: blue is the total number of pages, pink are the pages written per day, and yellow is the average number of pages written per day.

Pages per Day

PS: The image is borrowed from “Piled Higher and Deeper” (www.phdcomics.com). The 3rd book is about to be released — go and pre-order!
