A week off

I’m off to the Complex Weavers 2008 Seminar. Yes, it’s in Tampa at the end of June, and no, Peter Collingwood won’t be able to attend, but it will be just full of string geekery and other fibery goodness. I’m taking some interesting-sounding classes, including a couple that are well outside my usual interest zone. I’ll report back later.

Laura and I are meeting up in Philadelphia – she managed to get on the same flight to Tampa, and going on to share a room in the dorm accommodations. So obviously this would be exceedingly fun even without all the other weavers to meet, but should be just fantastic with them!

I will be taking the camera, but am trying to resist the urge to take the laptop. So, no blogging until the end of next week. Not that you could distinguish that from this week – I have been rotten busy, and devoting my limited spare time to making sure that dog fur doesn’t envelope the living room, and that the house isn’t swallowed by rapidly-growing grass. I’m looking forward to a few days away, and I think they should be really away, not in constant contact through the wonders of the internet. I know you all can cope – there’s plenty of good stuff out there to read!

    Have lots of fun for me!!! I kind of dreamed about going, but then wised up and faced facts (work-related and financial) and it just wasn’t possible. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing you at SOAR.

    Thanks, Michael! Even the possibility of Peter Collingwood’s attendance was enough to get me to go.

    Now I just have to get off the waiting list for SOAR… I’m guessing with the price of travel that I’ll get to go, especially since I can find out at the last minute and hop in the car.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
