Long time, no see...

It's been a long time since I've been here last time...
In the meanwhile, I've been to Dusseldorf to visit Pedro and Patricia, then to Brighton for Interspeech'2009, then to London for SIGDial 2009 and YRRSDS 2009.
Back to Lisbon I've been lecturing a lot of classes (16.5 hours a week) and office hours (9 a week).
I'm also coding my first baseline of my cooking coach spoken dialogue system in the context of my PhD.
Olympus, Audimus and OntoChef have been around along with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Snow Leopard, living together through Parallels.
It's being a hard a busy time, but some results are coming to light.
More news soon...
