Off for a bit

Post by Charlie Reams »

As many of you know already, I'm off to California until November or so. When I told my grandma this, she said "oh lovely, what's a california?" Anyway, I intend to continue maintaining c4c and apterous from there, but due to work and the timezone difference, I'll probably be a bit slow in attending to things. Apart from that you probably won't notice the difference. Nevertheless, I thought I should officially say bye (or rather au revoir) on a geographical basis. Toodles!

Kinda. I'll be doing some work on power-efficient computing for a small local company. Since this is (broadly) the subject of my PhD, hopefully some related stuff will come out of it, but I've got to be careful with all the intellectual property business.

Thought there was something wrong with the link you provided, Charlie. Took a few seconds to figure it out. Slán agus beannacht duit.

Ha, if only. I think they intend to get their money's worth out of me.

I've just arrived btw, after 23 hours of traveling (the first few hours were technically travelling, but after that it was definitely traveling). More news when I can think straight.

I can't believe Kirk likes the fact that Charlie is going: obviously some animosity there I had never picked up on.

He's gonna have a whale of a time. Oh, and love can still extend across the ocean. How poetic.

Apropos of nothing, I just noticed, Charlie, that your avatar is now more apt than ever. How's the jet-lag? Hope you're settling in OK.

I think we all did in some way or other. I certainly did. :D

Hope you had a nice..., I was going to say holiday, but you were working, so it wasn't really a holiday, was it :?:

Hope you had a nice work experience at Google. 8-)

Glad you're back, Charlie. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-)

Funny accent too. Can't really see him fitting in here.

Maybe if we all ignore him, he'll go away.
