I passed!

I just got the results of my thesis examination, the outcome of my stay in Strasbourg, and I passed! And not only did I pass, but on a three-level scale (of "pass") I was credited at level two with a "pass good!" Now I can rest peacefully with respect to my thesis--although the peace will have to wait until I have celebrated the result!

Those who want to make their own judgement can download the thesis (PDF, 1MB) and read about "Search Engine Credibility."
