Why so long ...

OK, way too long since my last post. Nevermind, I don't think anyone actually reads this (Hi Lars).

So, to tell: I've been to Austria for a really nice seminar on complex systems which included talks on semiotics and how ostocytes work as sensors in the bone and help reconstruction happen. There was also my talk on interaction histories in robots, which while totally left-field for the audience, went down quite well. It was orgainised by Prof Sawaragi-San from Kyoto Uni, and was a really excellent little jaunt.

I've also submitted a final CR for the Epirob conf comming up. I am looking forward to that one.

My sis had a 40th B-day party which was just wild. Its funny, when you get everyone to dress as school children, they behave as school children. With booze. I had a 2-day solid hangover.

I read a really nice book (How Babies Think by Gopnik/Meltzoff/Kuhl). Would recommend it as an easy way to get into the some of the new ways of thinking in developmental psychology.

And, on sunday I fly to Ventigmilia in Italy (near Monaco on the Itialian/French border on the Cote d'Azur) for 10 days of robot programming. FUN IN THE SUN!! (Actually a geek version - I'll be programming on my laptop instead of hanging out in bars/beaches)

So, till later
Ciao
