Reconsidered
The aforementioned rejection was followed by a bunch of backroom negotiation, soul-searching, jiggery-pokery and the writing and submission of a new, more persuasive proposal to do much the same research in more concrete and plausible ways. The upshot is that CoMPLEX are going to fund me after all. I would like to think my newfound -- and quite genuine -- enthusiasm helped, but I suspect that other people's arm-twisting was rather more significant. In any case, I'm happy about it.
Now I just have to make this bloody thing work.
Rolls up sleeves, spits on hands, realises spitty hands aren't that great for programming, clumsily wipes them on rolled sleeves -- and off we go.
