my winter escape.  
Boston: -7C
Melbourne: 13C
Clearly I need to be somewhere else. [*]

Made some progress on getting my talk ready. Should be finished by mid-week, then I do the annual "which presentation software sucks the least" dance. The last time I gave a talk, even tried-and-tested magicpoint let me down, and I had to resort to using *vi* as my slide viewer. Hardcore.

Also, for the second year in a row, I've been scheduled against Rob McQueen. Uncanny.

[*] That's 19F and 55F for those of you still using old money. Or as they're more commonly known "ass cold freezing" and "comfy".

And here I was hoping that you would be the gimp with the limb injury at LCA this year.

There are five days between now and take-off. Ample opportunity for me to find some way to regimpify myself.

reliability of magicpoint
Last time Ubuntu's magicpoint started segfaulting on me, I ended up writing a Python program to convert magicpoint to PDFs: http://mg.pov.lt/mgp2pdf/
