IR Thoughts 
I’ll be at ESSIR ’07 🙂
Great! I wish I can be there. I look forward to your impressions of this ESSIR.
The uni is sending me, so I’ll have to write a report. Will forward to you 🙂
That’s fantastic, David. I look forward to your report and fine posts.
Perhaps we can mention some highlights in the next IR Watch Newsletter that goes out to colleagues and CS grad students.
