Okay now... 5 months down the PhD track and I'm feeling the heat and pressure of the need to produce a few reasonably well-planned, well-designed, scientifically sound results.
It's not that I haven't done anything. It's just that it's hard to see the actual results. I've done things here and there, conducted experiments, built and redesigned my control algorithms but they are all very broad. I guess it takes a bit more time to see them interconnecting and becoming an integrated piece of project work.
Well, last day of the financial year, hopefully can get a bit of the tax return back. Also it's my last day as a 23-year old. So, cheers to all the good and bad times! May the next six months be more fruitful and organised!

This year I have plans to attend two conferences.
The first one is The SMART 2004 Conference, which stands for The First International Conference on Shape Memory And Related Technologies. This will be from 24 to 26 November 2004 in Singapore. I will probably take the opportunity to visit family and friends back home.
The second one is right at ANU, Canberra and it's called The 2004 Australasian Conference on Robotics and Automation. Read on ACRA 2004 here.
Both conference will have paper submission due date around mid-August or early September so I'll have to step up on my conference paper and presentation skills soon. Currently doing my literature review and hopefully that will help in the writing process.
On a different note, read on this news article about 'easy-to-spot air marshalls' in the US.
