There! It's sent.

The last five days (since Saturday morning) have been spent devoted mostly to getting a paper written to submit to a conference. The deadline was today. I've just found out they've stretched it 10 days. But it's gone now - I can't live with it any longer.

I'm pleased with on the whole but I don't think it's anywhere near technical enough for an IEEE sponsored conference and the journals such papers end up in if they're accepted.

But nothing ventured, nothing gained. And at least the deadline got me motivated to write the wretched thing and when they turn it down I can try some more likely possibilities.

Now I just need to start on the huge backlog of email I've been ignoring the growing mound that I sometimes know as a desk...
