For the first time since moving into our new Apartment, I used the in-building library. I would like to go down there and spend some time reading, but I’m really too busy to spend time reading for fun.

Anyway, I have to review about 8 papers for the upcoming NTCIR Workshop so I brought my laptop down to the library where they have three or four carrels set up with wired ethernet and desk space. I don’t have much desk space in my place (almost all flat space is now occupied with mail and other stuff that I want to clean up, but R. and I haven’t had time to sit down and do that.)

So it was nice to spend a few hours at the library downstairs getting some work down. I wonder where the books that are in there are from. It is really more of a reading room than a library, but there still is a big collection of books (mostly of the coffee-table type.)

Anyway, no major updates aside from that.
