Not fasting. I'm a typical "early to bed, early to rise" type. I've got too
much to do, so that's now "late to bed, early to rise". Not very healthy,
but I can catch up on rest next week.

If that's what it takes to meet budget, yes. Posters are a fading memory
when the brochure is still in hand. Attach the posters carefully, and they
can be taken down and reused. Particularly for SFDS08 at SMU, the draw of
participants is a group effort, so we are less dependent on our own
publicity.

OK. I'll be on the move for most of the day after 10:30, but I'll be
connecting as I can on the way. FWIW, here is my tentative schedule:

10:30 or so: depart for NTUOSS SFD

11:30 - 14:30 or so: at the above
16:00 - 17:00: at SMU SIS with Vincent Lai to measure MSR 5.
17:00 - 19:00 or so: City/Bugis/Sim Lim, dinner, materials search for SFDS08
19:00 - ?: SLMG meeting at SMU-SIS.

Phone: 9189 8599.

Cheers
