You say you're finding it hard to find time to write papers?

Should any of you be behind on your publish-or-perish track, you might give

A randomly generated SCIgen paper from
http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/scigen was
accepted to the conference WMSCI 2005 ;-)
This triggered a small discussion at Slashdot

Boy, the references are sweet!

Example:
AGUAYO, D., AGUAYO, D., KROHN, M., STRIBLING, J., CORBATO, F. , HARRIS,
U., SCHROEDINGER, E., AGUAYO, D., WILKINSON, J., YAO, A., PATTERSON,
D., WELSH, M., HAWKING, S., AND SCHROEDINGER, E. A case for 802.11b.
Journal of Automated Reasoning 904 (Sept. 2003), 89?106.

Nice to have Steve H and Erwin S etc on your side!

Reminds me of the apocryphal story of someone criticised by a
prestigious journal for writing in first person singular. So he solved
the problem by adding his cat's name as a co-author, which allowed the
use of first person plural (we). All went well, until the cat was
invited to give a talk at a scientific conference.

Pity I can't remember the source of this story - it could be an urban
legend of course!

Cheers
