As you can imagine I think everyone is sick and tired of hearing me talk (not to mention the bad jokes.)  This year I&#8217;m not speaking so it will be nice to just sit back and listening.  Indeed, it will be fun because one of my students is giving a talk.  Which he wrote in Python.  Thousands of lines of Python.  Yeah, I may have made a lot of squinT talks over the years, but I never, ever, wrote thousands of Python lines to present a talk.  I&#8217;ll have to catch up next year, I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, lucky me I&#8217;m off to Santa Fe tomorrow morning for the tenth annual SquInT conference.
