In fact, I can haz 1 conference keynote paper (still needs tweaking and polishing) and 1 conference presentation (still lacking a few images, but those are in hand) - for the latter I still have to write a brief text for publication in proceedings, but now I have the structure down.

So I feel that I can go away for this long weekend with a clear conscience and a massive sense of relief. Because there have been points where I was almost despairing of getting a coherent keynote completed. The work-related presentation was more about making time to sit down and pull the images together/decide what new ones I needed, with sufficient leeway to get them processed.

Dept of, A Bit Weird:

Really rather sudden and substantial uptick in numbers of people looking at the Akademyk blog, over the past couple of weeks. WTF.

People whom I don't know, have not interacted with, and who have not introduced themselves a) adding me to their circles on G+ b) asking me to connect on LinkedIn. Are they bots? Is it just about having A Huge Circle/Network? Would rather have small choice circle of people Who Know Who I Am, but perhaps this is not the way it is done these days.
