Another busy day



Toastmasters. Specifically, Husky Toastmasters. Another session. I get frustrated because, although there are supposed to be 3 speakers every week, there have been, on average 2, and a lot of that is because people (including me) do impromptu speeches at the last minute. Makes me want to pull my hair out.




Afterwards, I bummed around on campus a bit before heading over to the CS department for Operating systems for 1000+ core computer chips, when space sharing replaces time multiplexing. On the web, it says that the talk was in room 503, but it was actually in 303. Frustrating.

Once I actually got down there, it was pretty good. The speaker really needed to be much more forceful about shutting down the peanut gallery, which was busy making largely tangential comments. Interesting post-talk conversations, though.

Unfortunately, I couldn't wait too long and I ended up going off to Lunch 2.0 in Pioneer Square at Evri. It was pretty good. I met a few awesome people there, and ran into a bunch of people I already know. The salmon was crazy delicious.

I got out of Lunch 2.0 at about 1830 and headed over to Amazon to hang out with Ryan at his office by King Street Station. He showed me around, a bit, and we ended up going back to the U district for a delicious meal of Fish and my first real game of Concurr.
