Flying...

[compilerbitch]

I've been fishing around for flight prices far my various trips tonight. NASA is starting to look frihteningly real at this point. Eeek! It's just Tuesday now when I have to go to the embassy for the visa interview, then it'll (visa processing permitting) just be a couple of weeks and I'll be going.

Scary stuff.

On other news, my talk was less than ideal today. I hadn't had enough time to prepare it, and Alan managet to keep me talking about the SAS paper camera ready last minute changes until about 1 minute before my talk was due to start, so I was nether prepared or in the right frame of mind. Someone in the audience was wearing a tmcm T-shirt, however. Which was good. I had wondered if it was trurl, but not actually knowing what he looks like and the TMCM wearer legging it as soon as my talk ended forced a continuation to the mystery.

Who is that mystery T-shirt wearer?

Oh, and this made me blush THIS pinkly.

Is trurl a constructor, bound on a universe-spanning Sally?

Well, a trans-atlantic sally.

Ride, sally, ride.

I thought you knew what I looked like, as you so carefully avoided running me over :P

I would guess he is Michael Dales. I was doing my undergraduate at the same time that he was doing his PhD at The University of Glasgow and I distinctly remember him wearing a TMCM T-Shirt back then. At the local coffee shop for the Computing Department (Tinderbox) there also a lot of TMCM paraphernalia, which would explain the link.
