work work work

I'm in the final death throes of submitting an ACL paper.

I have been working 12 hour days on this paper and final projects for last quarter since before Christmas, with a day off for New Years and four days off to go present a paper in Oakland at the LSA.

Apologies for being very very quiet. I've been busy.

But I have results for the ACL and I am currently co-editing (yay cvs!) the paper into its final shape (which will be an 8 page monster showing that prosody can help parsing).

...later

:: sympathizes, being at the moment grabbing a quick bite to eat before going back to working on his ACL paper :: Good luck!

(and I hope your paper is accepted, because the topic sounds very interesting and I, for one, would certainly like to read it!)

Glad you got results ! I hadn't even heard... Looks like you're going to make it ! You were like in the tech rehearsal from hell !!!

That is an excellent analogy.

And indeed, you hadn't heard because I didn't have them until yesterday morning, and I haven't seen you since!

Now I hope that you get accepted ( *crossing fingers* and *trusting*)

congrats on the results!! SO glad you're nearing the final stretches, you need/deserve a looong break. and, more selfishly, i'm happy we'll get our schma back at long last!

I'm glad to hear the end of this big push is in sight! Of course there will be others!

Any time you'd like to explain what "prosody can help parsing" means in words that I might understand, I'd be interested in hearing!

Looking forward to reading you more often again!

Yay! Results!

Huzzah! Always good to have results! Glad things worked out well. Glad you'll be able to breathe a bit.

Go troch! It was nice to see you gigglin' a bit last night and kicking back more than you've been able to.

Write on, Mister Waterhouse, write on...

hey!

It's nice to know I've been missed.

I've been very busy myself; things are getting better. I've been so long behind that I'm a little intimidated to post a personal how'm-i-doing sort of post since there's so much to catch up on.

But there's one forthcoming.
