Back from Buenos Aires

I am finally wrapping up a number of very busy months...

• In February, I was hired by Cincom. I also did a presentation at San Diego State University while I was living in New York.
• In March, I packed my apartment and by April moved to California. I did all the moving work myself, including the 3,000 mile drive, because...
• ... I ran the STS 2007 coding contest in April/May, and I couldn't afford my stuff being away from me when I definitely needed to have it. I was also at STS 2007, and spoke for a little bit about SUnit Based Validation.
• Last month I was in Argentina representing Cincom. I gave numerous talks, and the schedule of meetings was packed full.

Why is it that I think there's stuff missing? Anyway... I flew back congested and, even though I had strong prescriptions to deal with the possibility of pressure-induced injury, my right ear is now busted with barotrauma. Sigh. That will teach me not to fly like that again..

But there are good news too. During my stay at UNLP I got some very interesting feedback regarding the draft of the book. The result is that Chapter 1, which had a number of rough edges because it was written while I was still rusty, finally got polished. Now it looks like any of the other chapters, which makes me happy. Also, the draft has been growing, and today it hit 280 pages. I better hurry, the deadline is so near...

Back to work!
