Status Report

Well, it's becoming more and more clear that I'm not going to end up posting every detail of my Germany trip after all. For an impressively detailed account, complete with illustrations, check out Chris's journal. Days 1-9 are currently scanned and online. I'll update the links below as more become available (or will I?).

Lots of exciting things have happened since my last post.

School started again. I've only got one class this quarter, and it's been painfully easy so far. It's good to have everyone back in town and in the lab.

I submitted a paper to JFP. I've been working on this paper, in some form or another, for nearly a year. While I'm really proud of the code, the paper still isn't nearly as polished as I would like. As Martin says though, it's good to get it onto somebody else's desk, and off of mine.

We moved. One thing we didn't really realize is that the new apartment is a bit scuzzier than the old one. Although we have new carpet and paint (yay!), the shelves everywhere in the house have this grimy, old contact paper on them, and the popcorn ceilings are cobwebby and gross. We got some rubber shelf liner for the kitchen shelves, and I guess we'll just have to dust the ceilings and see how effective that is. Thanks to the massive crew that showed up to help us move furniture and empty our jam-packed storage closet!

I'm going to Nebraska. I'm actually at the airport right now! I'm headed there with quite a few other people from OSU for the annual meeting of the EUSES group. I'm leaving poor Allison to deal with the mountains of unsorted stuff alone, for three days. It could be kind of a rocky trip since my presentation isn't finished yet, and I have a homework assignment due on Tuesday, while I'm gone. I should get to work on all of that...
