Far too many photos from Dagstuhl
Regular readers here will likely remember various past posts extolling the virtues of Dagstuhl, this really wonderful computing research facility in Germany. I’ve been lucky enough to attend several seminars on the Theory of Evolutionary Algorithms in the past, and have taken (and posted) quite a few photos from those trips.

A little wind-swept
On Friday after the EvoStar/EuroGP events wrapped up, Bill (Langdon), Riccardo (Poli), Tyler (Hutchison), and I spent a couple of hours being tourists in Naples, starting at Castel dell’Ovo ("Egg Castle"). This castle sits on a little island just off the shore right in front of our hotel and the conference center, so we [...]

For those of you coming to Naples, definitely stop by our table at the poster session that night — you’ll be able [...]
You know, basic editing and lit review = teh good
Just finished my GECCO reviewing, and I must say that is seriously sucks when people don’t attend to even the most basic of issues. Two things almost guaranteed to majorly annoy a reviewer:
Weird random floating fragments of text that are obviously the disemboweled remnants of some cut and paste action.
Only 8 entries in the [...]
Done dumping Dagstuhl photos
Almost had an alliteration in the title, but then lost it at the end. Sigh.
I’ve finishing dumping all my Dagstuhl photos (uncleaned and unedited) to my event account on Flickr, so those with more time than sense can rush over and gaze upon them all. Over the next week or two I’ll work [...]
