Junk
List of things on my mind, because I can’t be bothered (and don’t think you guys can) with separate posts for each of them.
- Trying to find time to co-write a paper and to get it accepted for a student conference on AI in Utrecht.
- Trying to find time to modify a paper on Ethics (specifically, Moral Relativism) that I wrote some time ago and submit that to ’something’ Dutch / UvA.
- Doing regular coursework, which involves
- reading about 200-300 pages every week
- writing summaries and questions for speakers on the subjects for all of them
- working on a project with students from Stanford University and a Fortune 500 company in the tech industry. Can’t say much more than that, though for once it doesn’t involve engineering.
- writing language processing tools in Python.
- trying to catch up with lost classes from last block about Statistics and Stochastics.
- writing knowledge processing tools and representations using Prolog and OWL.
- Working on my Mozilla project. I meant to write about this earlier, but the Mozilla Foundation has sponsored me to work on making the ChatZilla IRC client accessible (as is clear from that link, it also needs a better website, we’re working on that on the sidelines). In fact, I have a conference call concerning that starting in 10 minutes, so I’d better finish this up.
- Working on other Mozilla-related issues
- Trying to get some work done on some other Firefox extensions of mine.
- Figuring out what university I’d like to attend for my MSc.
- Visiting
junksdrug and alcohol addicts. We need to stop calling people garbage – things are garbage (see also the post title) but people never should be. Also, Amsterdam is strange in the sense that I just went to a church service done by the Drug section of the pastoral care (not sure if that’s the right way of putting it in English) and atop of us (ie, in the room above us) some snobby people were having champagne, for the opening of some exhibition or whatever. Stark contrast…
That will do for now. Off to that conference call!
