Updates
Posted by Stuart at 12:49 PM on November 06, 2004I realized that I have left a few threads dangling without wrapping them up. Let's do a quick recap and update:
- I'll start with the sad news first. My sister sent me an email about what happened to my friend J.J. who passed away last week. If you want to read the update, see the original post.
- Back to my mundane life: I had headaches for 5 straight days, but it looks like I have now gotten over the coffee withdrawal. I was really craving one this morning when I was eating breakfast, though, but I was able to resist. The Original post recieved a lot of comments and it's an interesting read.
- I am not moving to Singapore. A week after I sent in my resume, the company wrote to tell me that the position was already filled. I have to admit I was a little bummed, but my enthusiasm for getting the PhD was resumed. (Orignial Post)
- Speaking of PhD research, today I am wrapping up the paper I wrote on the ICALT 2004 conference that I attended in Finland. I'll post the paper on my professional site with a pointer to it here.
- Now, I just have to write the research propsosal for grad school applications. I will base it on some of the work that I did for the ICALT paper. Hopefully I can get it done this weekend.
- Last night was the first get-together of Bangkok-based Bloggers. I was a little late and left a little early, but while I was there, Ben, Piyawat, Oui, the other (farang) Ben, Paul, "Baba" and "Him" were all in attendance. It was a fun, if loud (and I am not just talking about farang Ben) event. Maybe we should make it a monthly get-together.
That's all I can think of for now. Time to go finish up that ICALT paper!
Update 5:00 PM: The ICALT paper is finally finished. Yay!
I'm glad that speaker was there. That way, I can't be blames for your partial deafness :)
Hehe, a little blue bird told me once that if farang Ben were to be in attendance, ear plugs would be direly needed. ;) I'm really sorry I couldn't come, but am glad you guys had a good time. We should definitely make it a monthly thing, and I promise to be at the next one!
I hope you can join us next time, Lynn. You were very missed! Hope you're feeling better now.
well i didnt see you talk much professor stuart. like him said, i think it's because of that damn speaker. next time if we can do it again i hope we dont have to yell and may be you can complain about your lazy students!! :D
go Stuart - go Stuart!!!! :-) I'm so proud of you!!!
Love you!
I still can't hear out of my right ear (no, that wasn't because of Ben either(!), but that damn speaker stack i was next to).
It's all my fault of course: I was first at the pub and chose that table. Hey, it was big, and empty - good for us! (so I thought). Little did I know about the live band :(
Ah well!
