End of Summerschool, Festivities and Beach

The final day, Friday. Having slept early we were still not fully recovered from the long and arduous journey this Summer School has seemed to be. The enthusiasm that fueled our initial days seems to have tempered a wee bit, but was back in force, as this was indeed the

St. Tropez, and Food at last!

Day IV of the Fréjus and French saga. It was with that we woke up this morning and unfortunately, the weather outside soon dampened our hyper spirits. The skies were overcast, and rain just seemed imminent. We trudged through, once again, from somnolence to coffee and back again. The only

Fréjus Monologues - Day III

Day Three already! The realization dawned on us, as we headed for breakfast this morning. It promised to be splendid day indeed, and we weren’t disappointed, although in hindsight, we could’ve really taken advantage of this day – beach and sports wise. The worst part about morning is the

Rissa's gonna be here!

19 days and counting! It is just so surprising, the alacrity with which all came to pass! Just missing the love of mine, ever so much, I casually had dropped the idea, that lest VT not work out, she could think about visiting me in June, ahead of my visit

First blog from Fréjus! It has indeed been a long time coming. What a perfect place and perfect weather (though a little nippy in the mornings). The Summer School has officially started, and is in full swing, we are listening to Ambörn’s presentation, and he is showing some slides

Wait for RFCs

Finally finished with what I think is a passable paper for Barcelona. Mere few hours, and it is ready, I like that kind of work really. Now the wait starts for RFCs on the document. It was a really productive day indeed, somehow feels as if the Powerbook adds 10

Barcelona Ahoy!

Prep is currently underway for Barcelona. The 10cc meeting is coming up, and it shall indeed be a splendid opportunity to network with the project partners and gauge the current state of affairs in the WP. YMI was of the opinion that I should accompany him to Barcelona so that

Powerbook, Ready!

I am quite pleased to report that all is well on the Powerbook front! Things could not be any better, and though the German keyboard takes some getting used to, I am well on the way to “Nirvana” land. The trip to Aachen-land almostg did not happen! CCC was

Powerbook!

POWERBOOK G4 yes you read it right! I am the proud owner of a brand new spanking refurbrished Powerbook G4 with 2 years of Guarantee! It all happened in a tizzy this day! I was in Aachen with the Namesake, when we went to the Media Markt. He was the
