To-do list
I'm getting married at the end of the month, and the wedding and honeymoon between them will take about 3 weeks out of work, while there's a conference deadline not long after I'll be back from the honeymoon. So it's time for a list of things I hope to get done in the coming 3½ weeks, to keep myself focussed.

Deadlines, deadlines
The deadlines I'm currently working to; some self-imposed and some external:
- This week
- Have my simulator basically up and running so I can start testing it
- Before Spring Break
- Have my simulator well enough tested that I feel I can trust its output to reflect what's really going on in it. Have a good enough outline & division of labour for the Notacon talk that I'm ready to start writing content.
- During Spring Break
- Gather data from the simulator (I'll be skiing, so I want to be able to set up an experiment each evening and let it run for 24 hours). Write a first draft of my parts for the Notacon talk.
- April 4th
- ECAL submission deadline. I have a separate project I need finished for this (not the simulator I'm working on right now, but one similar enough that I'll be able to re-use a lot of code). I really don't know if I can make this or not, but I'm going to try.
- April 5th & 7th
- Present a paper in the Computational Neuroscience seminar. It's 25% of the assessed grade for the course, so it had better be good.
- April 8th - 10th
- Notacon
- Mid-June
- Defend thesis proposal, so I can move to Seattle knowing I'm on the right track with work. [this is what the simulator I'm currently working on will contribute to, which is why it's still my top priority even though the deadline's longer than other things]
It's going to be a busy few weeks coming up.
