There’s going to be an interesting search-engine spam workshop at WWW2005. I’m on the program committee, but I’m not sure yet if I’m going to physically attend. One part of that question is whether anyone’s going to pay my way; the other part is … well, I’ve never been to Japan, and so my images of it come entirely from the movie(s), if you know what I mean … Anyone else planning to go?

Read your blog for a while now, love the analysis on hiring. The “lost in translation” link made me laugh… Hope the Japan trip happens
