It was pretty fun, although I did hit a new low &#8211; I actually fell asleep during a presentation! At least I still have my record of never falling asleep during class&#8230;we&#8217;ll see how long that lasts. My advisor and I took one of the more uninteresting days off, rented some bikes, and toured the town. I didn&#8217;t find out until a little bit into this that he routinely bikes 15 miles in hilly Pittsburgh. And I hadn&#8217;t been on a bike in 2 years&#8230;a recipe for disaster. If he didn&#8217;t think I was a wimp before hand, I&#8217;ve definitely cemented the impression. It was touch and go for a while as I wasn&#8217;t sure I&#8217;d actually make it. Thankfully he made frequent stops on my behalf, otherwise I wouldn&#8217;t have survived. But it was fun, we biked about 25 miles all told that day and got to see a lot of the area.  <\/p>\n<p> I went to go install <a href=\"http:\/\/www.solitude.dk\/filethingie\/\">filethingie<\/a> on my new webserver after like a year (I figured it was time) and to my surprise there was a new version out! It is awesome! All nice and AJAX, with background saves for editing files. I&#8217;ve decided to use it for this site for now. I hacked it a bit so that it can build my site with txt2tags and the default operation is edit instead of view, but otherwise it&#8217;s quite nice. Well I have two weeks until the ICRA paper deadline so I better get cracking. Last week I had two nights where I only got an hour of sleep, looks like that might be a continuing trend.
