Today I roused myself in time to attend the Kaffeestunde. I attend fairly often. The bottom line is that I will forget my German faster than anything if I stop using it entirely. Even this little bit of exercise helps immeasurably. I know almost everyone there. However my mutant weakness is an inability to remember names. That is not just the names of people mind you. I have great difficulty with street names as well. Because I spend less than an hour with the German folks every week I must relearn names every time. Now that I have been attending for nearly 6 years it is getting a bit embarrassing.

Tomorrow we will discuss the MIDI protocol in cs490-dsp. I believe IP traceback is the order of the day in cs590d.
