The Wired World
Jun. 21st, 2004 02:19 pmIt's not every day that the BBC News features a story on a project that one of my friends works on (Al, of Temple ov thee Lemur fame), still less often when it's this cool a project. I mean, wireless networking and glaciers - how cool is that?

Seminar redux
Jun. 21st, 2004 06:08 pmThe seminar went tolerably well. Better than the Edinburgh seminar, though not as well as the Manchester one.
Some further intrigue about all this. I am one of two shortlisted candidates (the other is a genetic algorithms chap from Harvard), which is a bit on the short side for a lectureship. The reason for this is that these interviews apparently aren't for the advertised lectureship (the OMII post), but as some sort of 'special post' (Eternal Leader's words). I can't work out if this has improved my chances, or if I'm being used as a stalking horse to enable the school to headhunt someone else.
I really am a 'glass half-full' guy, aren't I? Oh well, interview tomorrow morning at 10.30.
