Stretch…

Posted on April 18th, 2006 by Sacha Chua

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Much work done today, so I don't feel guilty about blogging and catching up on my e-mail before I go to bed.

---

Reading paper progress:
37 papers read today.
100 papers read total.
158 papers to go.
Not all of the papers are related, but still... good work!

See, this is what I should've been doing throughout the term instead of during one mad sprint near the end, but it really also just gelled together. =) Enterprise social bookmarking. That's what I'm into. Mark should be happy. The vast majority of the papers I've read come from peer-reviewed journals, and they're all over the place - collaborative filtering, cooperation, community, social navigation...

=)

I'm _so_ glad I'm okay with reading on a computer, and that I'm not stuck on some low-refresh CRT. A 10" display makes for _really_ _bad_ _scrolling_, but it's something. In an ideal world, I suppose I'd have a huge monitor just for things like this - but hey...

Random Japanese sentence: 私たちは猫を飼っています。私たちはみなその猫が好きです。 We have a cat. We are all fond of the cat.
