Posted on 31 March 2009 by cajo

I’m still busy at the workshop. I had thought that I could perhaps nap a little during the boring talks, and work merrily at night. Instead I stay awake because the talks are really quite interesting, and I come home … Continue reading →

Conference

Posted on 30 March 2009 by cajo

Marathon

Posted on 29 March 2009 by cajo

Another marathon session of paper writing. I am very tired and a little cluster headache is trying to form at the top of my head. Tomorrow is the start of the ICSE warmup workshop and IFIP summer school. I have … Continue reading →

Lapse

Posted on 28 March 2009 by cajo

No posting yesterday.  Broke my perfect attendance record. The reason is clear: a break in my routine. I was working through the night towards a strict 10am deadline. Lots of pressure and I didn’t take my scheduled breaks. Oh well, … Continue reading →

Vampires

Cape Town Transport

Posted on 23 March 2009 by cajo

I had dinner with Jan and Arnold tonight and we talked a little about transport in Cape Town. I’m not in-the-know at all: my life moves in a narrow orbit. But they are a little better informed. Of course, next … Continue reading →

Week 2 Day 5

Posted on 23 March 2009 by cajo

Conditions: 23°, clear skies, a little windy Time: 18:20 BMI: 32.19 Calve muscles really hurt. Badly. Almost had to stop, but I didn’t. Perhaps the problem was that I started out through the newly discovered park path, which has a … Continue reading →
