Seattle, L.A, London, Tunis??, Toronto...

To Start, a 3 day visit to the University of Washington Computer Science & Engineering department, for joint Research & Industry workshop. We (the industry) want to explore the new optimization tools they recently developed and they (Phds, and Masters) want funding (like any thirsty research facility).

Then, onto Los Angeles for a 4 day training. I like this part, coz I miss Los Angeles allot, even though there is no such thing as Los Angeles downtown.

Then come back, spend barely one day at home, then on to an overseas flight to London, UK for a 3 day Conference (I hate conferences, papers, and all the research crap, it’s dull, but that’s my corrupt opinion). It’s my first time to the UK so I need to order some maps and especially the map of ZE UNDERGROUND, switch to the English accent, because over there, there is no such thing as Elevator, it’s called lift, and there is no truck, it’s a LOOOOOOORY Bloody hell. And Ohh everything is charming, Sir :-)

I’m trying to squeeze in, a few days to go to Tunis, but there is neither a conference, nor a training there, so I need to find a good excuse…suggestions are welcome

I’m grateful to the 'calendar and the gods' since this is occuring while Wifie and Kiddo are still out…otherwise that will cost me dearly. Wifie charges 50$ (in value or kind) for a missed diaper change.

Ok, i think i need to go do some laundry....
