@Balarka, do you have a email or something I can use to contact you when you're away?

yes, I do, @Soham.

tell me your email, I'll send a reply to you so that you get it.

online now?

yes.

tell me when you're done

okay.

so you won't stay off the chat, just off the main chatroom?

i'll come to the alg top chat. i enjoy talking to iwriteonbananas

cool.

@Balarka: so I have a friend in Taiwan whom I emailed after a long time asking him what he's doing. he says "I'm working up to intersection numbers and projective varieties".

he got into MIT btw. IMO medalist and all that. so now I know a budding algebraic geometer.

Can I talk here?

uh, no. wait.

Ok wait...
