Today is Friday, and I don’t have an awful lot to say about it beyond that.<\/p>\n

I spent the day for the most part immersed in PowerPoint, which is nobody’s idea of a great time, but at least I’m making progress on pulling these lecture slides together. I got through about seven chapters today, the first half of the book, and hopefully will be able to more or less finish in the two days I’m in the office next week. I head to San Jose on Wednesday for a 5-day conference — and maybe the world’s least exciting destination for my birthday — and there are a few projects I’d like to make somebody else’s problem before I leave.<\/p>\n

I’m probably not<\/i> going to get the latest issue of Kaleidotrope<\/i> out before I go, however. It’s largely finished, beyond a little last-minute tweaking and the printing, so it will<\/i> definitely be mailed out in April. But the end-of-March timing just doesn’t work in my favor. It’s a really good issue, so if you haven’t subscribed yet, now would be a great time to do so<\/a>. Just indicate you want your subscription to start with issue #8. There’s almost certainly going to be three issues total this year, so now’s a good time to get on board!<\/p>\n

Other than that, not much to report. It’s just your typical, average Friday.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
