J.K. Rowling, Here I Come
We found out last night that the paper that Ron, Lucas, and I submitted to a workshop of the CASES conference in San Jose was accepted. That means that while the rest of you freeze your asses off in the drizzly rain at the end of October, I'll be in sunny Mid-Cal telling a roomful of crazy CS people about my research. That means that like Ms. Rowling and like Rachel, but unlike my Mom the English professor, I will be a published writer.
Hopefully I will also be a signed recording artist. Well, that's stretching it a bit, but expect the Music page to get some new material sometime soon thanks to this baby:
And finally, a discussion in my Advanced User Interfaces class tonight is worth mentioning. Dr. Kimura lugged in a gigantic ancient Macintosh to demonstrate a program he developed in the early 80's. He also told us about his Apple Laserwriter printer that he has been using for years and years. So many years, in fact, that when he ran out of ink for it neither Apple nor Canon made anything that fit it anymore. So someone in class suggested that he go on eBay and try to bid on some ancient ink cartridges. We're thinking he may actually do this.

If you're going to mid-CA, I would suggest to look Charlie up!

I generally find it's a good idea to avoid anything that has the phrase "TA-SCAM" clearly printed upon it. I don't care what the model name is, they could have come up with a better acronym if they wanted to.

So that's how Chris affords such high-tech stuff. I just knew there was a TA scam underfoot.

How does that thing sound? I just sold off my recording interface, and I'm looking for something small and cheap that will get the job done when inspiration strikes. I'm sick of having a $7,000 studio sitting around doing nothing.

Unfortunately I've been crazy busy with interviews this week so I haven't had time to try it out. I'll post about it when I do get a chance. It was definitely affordable though, especially compared to similar products that I checked out online.
