I have been to most of these, but this year it clashes with the autumn WG21 committee meeting (we do publish dates far in advance, but sometimes hotels don’t have the availability).

I've just written another review; this time I'm looking at the title Asynchronou Programming with C++ by Javier Reguera-Salgado and Juan Antonio Rufes.

I am making an attempt at the ABRSM piano diploma, particularly the ARSM in Music Performance. First job: compile playlist of the repertoire. There are fourteen tracks missing (please help if you can) but at a shade under 22 hours, it's good listening, if a little jarring thematically!

Hello Sofia! I’m here for WG21 at the Grand Millennium Hotel. I have just discovered that the restaurants have a range of dress codes. Will report back: sartorial elegance is not the committee’s core competency.

I love a bit of thoughtful writing; I did a philosophy contextual with my maths and comp.sci degree. This reads rather well, particularly the section about standpoint theory, objections to which I have never been able to satisfactorily articulate.
