Tomorrow morning I hop on a plane out to
Big Important Operating Systems Conference. Exciting. ^^
Conferences make me rather hyperactive. ;) Now, if only that hyperactivity would spill over into the preparations. I'm still not packed -- I haven't even done my laundry -- and I have to get to the airport before the sun comes up. D'oh.
Anyway, we can talk about the general inefficacy and futility of academic systems research later. c.c
('course, we could also talk about my personal inefficacy and futility, and how that ties into my bitterness about how crappy other folks' research is, when my own is still hovering on the line between existence and vaporware c.c; ...)
