Lots (read: more than one) of people have been asking what I'm up to nowadays, which has led me to the conclusion that I'm neglecting my blog. The whole purpose of this exercise is to avoid frivolous conversation by publishing the answers to questions which form the bulk of small-talk; that my conversation time may be better spent. The inefficiency of giving the same facts to different people in different conversations is amazingly annoying.
So.
Having finished university (results are out on Thursday 18th with luck), I'm now...at university. I'm working as a research student for ten weeks, working in the same area as with my final year project.
I'll hopefully be publishing a paper in AAMAS (Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems), and then presenting it in May/June 2010, in Canada. Also it pays for rent and clothes shopping over summer - but let's pretend I'm doing this for the advancement of human knowledge.
We're still finalising a topic - I'll post a dumbed down (read: jargon-free) version of whatever I do up here :)
Xx
PS: I have a small office with (inexplicably) 9 chairs, yet on the rare occasions anyone stops by for a chat, they generally stay standing. Explanations on a postcard please.

Perhaps the choice of chairs is overwhelming people?! You could try inviting them to take a seat ...
All day at work I work on autonomous agents to replace call centre staff, it's so dull. Is this similar to what your talking about?
Not really, I'm working on trust and reputation systems - how to make good decisions when the people around you are unreliable.
