Patent submitted

Woo!

Looks like IBM finally got around to submitting my idea to the patent office. I'm still waiting for approval from my old boss to be able to talk about it with non IBM people... and more importantly, to actually be able to work on the problem again when I get back to uni next year.

However, if it gets approved (in 2-5 years), it'd mean i'd have a patent to my name. Sure, IBM owns my idea, and can make millions from it (because, of course, it's pure genius).. but well, my name will be on file at the patent office.

Sweet!
