Finished chapter 2 of the copy of "Mechanizing Proof" that I borrowed from demoness101, which is shaping up to be a fantastic book. It's a bit disturbing to hear the same general ideas being spoken so long ago, and to realize they still haven't "won", but I guess a lot of particular progress has been made.

Frank is talking a bit in class about the stuff kitty_tape was working on last summer, with focusing and checking proofs in a format more human-friendly than λ-calculus terms. Also some neat stuff about abstract congruence closure algorithms. I need to go back and look at Mizar again.
