Great. Good to hear that.

[off topic] - your blogs - section on Gallileo.
You might want to know another great mathematician, Omar Khayamm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Khayy%E1m

who calculated the solar year to 13 decimal points centuries before  
Gallileo. I would would think he needed a telescope for that. Like  
Gallileo, he was 'persuaded' by the religious authorities to affirm his  
'convictions'. But he is better known for his poetry than his binomial  
theorems.

Jorge, I mentioned this because if we take mathematics to be an 'exact'  
science, facts would be immutable by any persuasion or bias.
