This Week
→: This WeekLIFE Not so much time for life this past week! Went to Programming Languages I’ve Been Meaning To Try But Haven’t Got Around To Yet, not that I got any actual programming done! Too zonked from jetlag and a long week. Too busy running around meeting up with people to do much else, although it…

This Week

I stayed at the Crowne Plaza (I like…

Hopefully, this has me waking up at 5 or 6am, having had at least 7 hours of…
