Now go out and spread that scientific love!

Personal.
I have decided to separate my personal (actually it’s more technical and highly niched) blog to my academic pages. The following are the other pages that I maintain:
- Course pages-separating the course page into a more structured manner and editing with low level access allows me more flexibility in terms of organizing content per course. As a non-mouse person (some one who does not like moving the cursor very much), I find coding a few lines of html easier than going all through the menus of Wordpress’ page manager. A snippet of my research interests and publications are also included in the page for people to see what I have been working on for the past few years.
- Research page-As of now, this page basically contains my faculty profile with respect to the ECCE deparment site. I decided to post most of the updates of my research work such as publications, slide presentations here so that the department can easily reorganize content of the entire site. Plus a wiki structure provides facilities for internal groupware collaboration. Thus we can easily fork internal proposals into full-length presentations for public consumption.
Another feature in my research and course pages is the integration of online document and presentation viewers. No need to download the entire presentation for a preview! Most of the presentations in the pages above either came from Google Docs or Zoho Office. I used the prototype AJAX libraries to asynchronously load the presentation on my pages. I hope to give a more pleasurable user experience for people visiting my course and research pages.

Last November 18-24, I went to three research meetings and conferences in Taipei. My travel expenses were shouldered by the ONCO-MEDIA project while my hotel accommodation was sponsored by the ICT Asia seminar program. Both funding sources came from the French government. I just love being an academic!
I traveled via Cebu Pacific to the Taoyuan International Airport. Delegates were fetched by the organizers from ICT Asia. When we were going out the compound of the airport, I saw a very interesting name for a courier service in Taipei: Pinoy Express.
It took almost an hour to reach the city. Our hotel, Academia Sinica Activity Center was located in the outskirts of Taipei. This made the trip even farther. The institute is a very big compound. It consists of various research centers from environmental science to high performance computing. Below is a view from inside my room:
I will post later in detail what transpired during the conference like Ateneo’s presentations, the very impressive networking activities. Pictures will also be posted showing sights and sounds of Taipei.

After a long not blogging for i don’t know how long, I finally decided to start another blog. I will move my thespoke.net blog for one great reason: math support. Now using Wordpress and the latexrender plugin, I am able to create cool equations like
[tex]f(x) = \int^a_b e^x dx \frac{a^2}{b}[/tex]
