I spent the better part of my day working, I started by creating my Thesis and adding content for the Scan Types chapter. A simple copy paste of the SAICSIT paper into the newrucsthesis style took it to 18 pages. That’s 1/3 the length of my Honours Thesis! I also started working on my ISSA slides. These will be finished by Monday.

I didn’t book any actual shows for today, but decided that there were two things on the Fringe that I wanted to see, so booked for those. I have just come back from the first – The Spirit Lives, the other is at 20h30. I wondered down to the Village Green with Nick and booked tickets. Its definitely busier today than it was yesterday – but I reckon it will be at its busiest tomorrow and Sunday.

The Spirit Lives was also excellent, unfortunately there was a guy who answered his phone during the performance, and another who was videoing it with his phone. The actual performance was a Musical and it was a natural extension to yesterday’s theatre. It was about the Sharpville Massacre, but was a story of how the spirit of those who were slain is kept on through music. All our emotion is represented through music.

Ings had a look at my slides for me, which pleased me somewhat, as Barry has been out of town for too long…

Ok, so I’m really ticked off. I was all geared to submit my Honours paper to CISSE 2007, but have discovered that due to VMware’s licencing restrictions, I cannot. I’ve worked far to hard on this paper, and feel really deflated, but what happens, happens. I wonder if Nick’s paper will be accepted…

Barry gave me a head start on choosing a project for Honours by sending me his list of projects before the year even began. I decided on a project from that list and am going to be investigating the performance of Virtualized Systems. I wonder how well this year is going to go. According to John Ebdens deadlines, we have 9 months…
