loooong progress report

today was the my third progress report of my phd. presenting half a year or so's worth of work in front of colleagues and supervisor is always quite stressful, but i'd actually had some interesting results in the past weeks and months, and so there was plenty of data to present. fortunately for me, mario, mike, paola and markus thought the data was interesting enough to discuss in depth at quite a few points, and so the presentation stretched from my planned 40 minutes to 85 minutes! my apologies to the audience for delaying their morning tea coffee and gipfeli!

85 minutes of standing, presenting, discussing and thinking was more than enough for me for the day, so i added to my audioscrobbler account (i lag truely much behind hiren the master), cleaned my desk, and waited for it to be appropriately late for a few beers before heading home for a snooze.

does anyone at all understand spam? this sort of like the stoned ramblings of a diy salesman.

Who would have thought that private road construction was such ripe territory for spam? Furthermore, who would have thought this blog had so much to do with private road construction, that the spammer felt the need to throw the links in?

Ah yes, one thing about Audioscrobbler - it's not about the quantity, it's all about the quality!

I dread my first progress report. I really don't know what I'm going to say. Have you got any plans for Christmas by the way? A return to Aussie - or will you be kicking it around Zürich-town?
