Onto second year

Posted by avsm Mon, 24 Nov 2003 18:12:00 GMT

Just passed my first year PhD viva, with very friendly advice from Prof. Andy Hopper and my supervisor Tim Harris. General criticism is that I'm too unfocused, which is an accusation that is all too true :-)
What else? Been working away, the Ubicomp 2003 paper went down pretty well, Seattle was a lot of fun, and Cambridge is even more fun right now. I bought a new 15" Titanium PowerBook, but its developed the infamous white spots - argh! Anand's wedding is rapidly approaching, so gotta sort myself out for that (a visa to get into India would be a good start). Times are busy. Fun though... can't argue with the PhD lifestyle compared to being stuck on a plane every morning at 7am (although I do miss real Italian breakfasts...)
