(no subject)

I gave a 3.5 hour long demo on my thesis work at ISCAS today (the biggest circuits conference in the world, I think.) It went quite well, but it was a rather intellectually exhausting experience. Lots and lots of very detailed, hard questions. I'm glad it was today though, now I get to enjoy two days worth of papers, posters, and networking.

And parking was $38 for the day (9 hours). I shit you not.

Random ISCAS facts:

1858 paper submissions
911 accepted papers
132 lectures
57 poster sessions (with 3-6 posters each)
~3,000 attendees

Crazy.
