I have just made it to getting a paper accepted for the 2009 Conference in Edinburgh. Because I have this Visiting Scholar gig at SUNY in the USA I really did not think that I would be able to get everything done that I needed to in Oz before I left AND get material together for a paper, but I have, and it's been accepted, and it really looks like I will make it. I have once again been into the program page, and am thrilled to see some newcomers with really interesting-looking papers, and some oldcomers with similar offerings. It is such an extraordinarily good, focussed and different conference, different from just about any other that one might attend, and I am really looking forward to it. It's not such a big a deal getting to Edinburgh from here as it is from Oz. If anybody is still thinking about it, I urge you to take the plunge and just go. You will love it. And perhaps I will see some of you there, especially those anonymous folk who have been sending me such delightful messages in response to the postings I have made.

We recommend that you bring about 80 copies of handouts. There are several copy shops in the vicinity of the university, so you should be able to copy them here, if you need to. If you would like to use a data projector, there is one built into the room, along with a computer and speakers. Please note that it can't be guaranteed that any particular font will be installed (or can be installed) on the computer provided, though. It would be safer if you bring your own laptop. There will not be a technician available during the conference to help with computer-assisted presentations, so, if you are using a computer for your talk, please make sure that you try out your presentation beforehand, in a meal or coffee break (and bring handouts, in case everything goes wrong!). Talks have been given 30 minute slots, and you can choose whether you would rather have 20 minutes to talk and 10 minutes for questions, or 25 minutes to talk and 5 minutes for questions.
