bits 0x44 - Calender Week 10, 2024

My first conference
Things seem to get back on track. I managed to (with the help from the prof and colleague) write up a 2-pages “fast abstract” for EDCC24 and get it accepted. One lesson learned: reproducibility is the key. Whatever experiment you do, keep it well documented, even if the stuffs are deemed unnecessary at the moment.

I’ll go to Belgium in April, thankfully with that fast abstracted to be presented, the uni will cover my travel expense.

On the other hand, I do think the academic conferences are expensive: typically it costs each attendee ~1000 Euro (conference admission + travel + accommodation) . This really isn’t cost effective. In most cases the expenses are covered by the institutes and … tax payers.

Starting the syswiki project
I have been ranting about the poorly readable tech manuals for forever. Not anymore, I decide to compile my own knowledge in a wiki format, one that is similar to the osdev wiki. It’s very much premature at the moment but I’ll work on this as a long-term project. I’ll also invite colleagues to share their knowledge.
