Hello, Snow
Feast your eyes upon the wonder of the weather radar and the spiffy snow it brings to Pittsburgh. We're expecting over four inches of wintry goodness by tomorrow morning, and then it should continue into tomorrow night, as well.

Furthermore...
It's winter all around! Texas must be grinding to a halt. :)
Katy and I will be staying in Strong, Maine, next week and the week after next, as we're going skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain, which is a short drive away. Brr!
In other news, my exams are finished, and I only have one thing left to do for the semester. It's a cell placer for VLSI circuits that implements the process ("Eisenmann forces") described in the paper Generic Global Placement and Floorplanning which was presented by Hans Eisenmann and Frank M. Johannes at the 35th Design Automation Conference in San Francisco in 1998. And, it doesn't look easy, so that's what I'll be doing tonight... and tomorrow... and Saturday... and...
I'll probably be on AIM most of the time, so if you're privy to my contact information there, this serves as notice that I will actually be connected for more than three seconds for once.

Yes...you are right...Texas is grinding to a halt. It's so funny....people in Texas have no idea how to drive. In Forth Worth on Thursday, the police department said they received over 2,000 calls for car accidents. God...if it just gets a little bit cold in Dallas and there's the slightest bit of ice on the roads, it's like...head for the hills. The city comes to a grinding halt. The schools close, businesses close, etc....and I'm like, people, it's a tiny bit of ice....get over it. I want ask these people, Haven't y'all ever been to Chicago? Or New York? Or Boston? Or Pittsburgh? A tiny bit of ice on the roads is all in a day's work. I guess people here in Dallas thought that they couldn't possibly make it to work or school on Wednesday, but they sure could make it to the shopping mall, as the malls racked up huge sales on Wednesday. A snow day, indeed. Nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. God, I can't wait till I can move out of Texas.
