Heyup everybody. Having spent 3 weeks effectively offline (dial-up doesn't count), I am returned to Delft, reasonably rested and relaxed. 3 weeks of doing nothing has flown past. Dan's wedding was a bunch of fun, photos up now (there's some bizarre pixelation effects on every pic of Becky, which is really weird). Also put up some pictures of Alison's birthday (not [livejournal.com profile] rattieally, another one from back home now living in Cambridge). Oh, and the *big* news. Enough for me to splash out on some fonts...

My paper got accepted! Woo-hoo!

In other words, I'm going to Texas at the end of November to the Globecom 2004 conference to give a presentation on my paper at the Wireless and Ad-hoc Sensor Networks workshop. Which completely and utterly rules. OTOH, if the shrub has got back in office, this is also a good opportunity to spend some quality time with a grassy knoll..... k, time to get some sleep before I go in tomorrow and deal with sorting out the camera-ready copy of the paper.

Thanks. I'm impressed I'm getting to go to America at the age of 23 for what can be described as business reasons, rather than just as a tourist. Admittedly, I plan to spend some time being a tourist as well, but hey...

Congrats.

Just in time to make fun of all the Texas rednecks after Bush gets kicked out of office as well :-)

In the horrific event he gets back in I was vaguely considering whether it's a good idea to go. Given that
a) I'm resident in the Netherlands, and therefore I so much as breathe funny at customs and I'm getting strip-searched for drugs in various places
b) "Would carry the card if there was one" atheist that's just (in this horrific scenario) re-elected a bible-thumping president, and I'm going to his home state
c) Am doing scientific research with military applications
d) Texas is AFAIK, pretty much redneck central. Any bets on how many minutes before my life becomes that Bill Hicks sketch with the waffle waitress going "looks like we got ourselves a *reader*..."?

It's a little worrying.
