If so, that sucks.. to put it politely. I'll surely write some emails to express my opinion of that.<BR/><BR/>In any case, if you are ever back in Iceland and I'm around, I hereby offer you personally to take you (and Ýmir if he's around) on a 4x4 trip to the highlands for some real hiking - after you do Esjan of course :)Arnar Birgissonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12073820949049315334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295132.post-2752095642973252112008-07-17T14:05:00.000-07:002008-07-17T14:05:00.000-07:00Hi Arnar,<BR/><BR/>I was a bit annoyed about the TV thing. I was supposed to be around at a certain time on my last day to meet up with a TV crew but they decided not to turn up after all. I really wanted to spend that day climbing up Esja which Ýmir had recommended to me. As it was, I had just an hour to attempt to run up and down it. As you can imagine, I didn't get too close to the summit :-( Still, what I did see was really beautiful.sigfpehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08096190433222340957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295132.post-39385978804456802462008-07-17T09:30:00.000-07:002008-07-17T09:30:00.000-07:00Dan,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your talk, I very much enjoyed it. It is a pity we couldn't get you a spot on TV though up here in Iceland :/<BR/><BR/>Anyways, my regards to Ýmir (we were undergrads at the same time) and for the curious, <A HREF="http://picasaweb.google.com/icalp2008" REL="nofollow">here</A> are some more photos from ICALP'08 and the affiliated workshops.<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/>ArnarArnar Birgissonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12073820949049315334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295132.post-13666050501386596762008-07-14T12:09:00.000-07:002008-07-14T12:09:00.000-07:00Dan Piponi:<BR/><BR/>That is an absolutely gorgeous presentation!<BR/><BR/>Clear, just deep enough, accessible, nicely illustrated, flowing.<BR/><BR/>I've emailed the URL to some computing friends who want to learn more Math, and vice versa.<BR/><BR/>I've printed out some color hardcopies for people I know who are teaching Math from a CS perspective (including my B.S.

Even writing a simple text file can go wrong.<BR/><BR/>I'd recode that text file but for a small hitch: mac.com won't let me at that file any more!
