Update

Hm... haven't blogged in a while.

The past week has been... routine, having gone back to work.

Still fun though. Begun hanging out with colleagues. Finding out how life is like as a permanent researcher. Quite a nice bunch of people actually.

Friday 010906:
Met up with james at nus for lunch yesterday.

Thursday 310806:
There was some competition happening at IHPC involving the JC's on thursday. Met the SAJC team, of which I knew one of the participants and one of the teachers.

Also went for a quantum computing seminar organised by the quantum information group. Like their informal atmosphere - there was a gigantic linux penguin in their office! Saw people I had read of online, and Dr Ekert arrived after. Hope to be more involved with this group in future.

Wednessday 300806:
Also sat through a meeting in IHPC where they discussed the viability of engaging in a partnership on a certain project. Quite an insightful experience into the process of how colleborations are initiated.

Ok maybe my week wasnt routine. Packed should be a better word to use.

Also had tuition on those evenings.

And yes,

And on a random note, searching "cumsa" on google blogsearch now returns a few more results, including the blogs of some of this year's freshers. :P

Sunday 270806:
Went to play dota with sam and friends. Think i wanna train dwarvian sniper. Thinking of installing dota on my new laptop. :D

Today 020906:
Trying to get my ftp server up and running, made some progress, but still cant seem to connect to it from the other computers.

Ok, a very unorganised documentation of the days since i last posted.

Dr Ekert gave the 8 lectures 'Introduction to Physics' in Michaelmas Term, which was basically an introduction to Quantum Physics. Sadly the attendance dwindled to 2 by the last lecture.
