The SEAC Conference starts

Today is the first session of the SEAC conference. They started with a meet ‘n’ greet last night. I’m not there, I have work to do. This will be the first year in quite a while when there isn’t a new book published at the meeting. Normally the proceedings of a conference are refereed and then published two years later. However the 2003 conference was a micro-conference so the papers are getting bundled into the 2004 volume, which is due 2006. Readers who work in the sciences may find this hard to believe, but this is considered speedy.

So today I’ll probably be grouchy because I’m missing out on sites like the one below. It’s a Nuraghe a Bronze Age tomb fortified dwelling. Not missing them so much that I’d actually pay to go to Sardinia though 🙂
