YakShaving: Shawn Ferry's Weblog
v. intr. [MIT AI Lab, after 2000: orig. probably from a Ren & Stimpy episode.] Any seemingly pointless activity which is actually necessary to solve a problem which solves a problem which, several levels of recursion later, solves the real problem you're working on.

CEC: Tuesday Hall Session

During lunch Radia wandered b our table. I was wearing my xkcd sudo shirt yesterday and we talked briefly. Jim stopped her to say hello and thank her again for the session last night. Jim and Radia started talking about one of the stories from last night (determine the problem before solving it).

We started talking about network protocols and families and children and, and and. Then we got kicked out of the lunch room so we set up shot in the hallway for the next 1.5 hours and talked more about network protocols, security deployments and experience.

It was cool, THIS is what large face to face conferences are about. Serendipitous meetings and conversations that we have yet to mimic/facilitate/experience in virtual worlds.

Jim and Radia, identification will be left up to the reader
