Happenings

Friday I leave for IUI 2009, where I’ll be presenting a formative study about end users debugging machine-learned programs.  This will be my first conference presentation, and I’m about equal parts excited and nervous.  At the very least, I should a chance to head out with my camera in sunny Florida.  I’ve hardly even taken it out of its bag this past month, and that needs to change.

I finally finished running participants for our current research study… now to start analyzing the data.  The paper deadline is March 8th, which feels like it’s approaching rudely fast.  But hey, at least we’re still on track.  I’d been worried that bringing in participants would become a 2 or 3-week nightmare like our last study, which would have pushed things way too close to the deadline.

This weekend I bought Henri T. Cat a new scratching board, which he promptly fell in love with.  Maybe now he’ll leave my couch alone.

Also, yesterday I learned that I’ll be going to CHI 2009 in Boston!  First big conference, eep!

    Good luck at IUI, you’ll do great! and Congratulations on CHI, that’s wonderful!

    The surfaces on Henri’s old scratchpad can be turned over, they are two-sided (but maybe you’ve already done that), sorry about the couch. Does Ikea still sell the slipcovers for it? If so I’ll get you a new one when I get back.

      Thanks! Don’t worry about the couch, a few claw marks is nothing compared to what Sid used to do. And really, it’s my own fault for not realizing his scratchpad was all scratched out.
