I am still around but haven't been doing much so I don't have much to say. Working on the OP optimization which is mostly implemented and preliminary results are very promising.

Those PSW organizations are unusually bad at scheduling their people. I have known people who worked for them and were frequently being scheduled such that they couldn't possibly reach their clients in time, often needing to call ahead to tell them. In fact, I heard someone else complain about the same issue earlier today.

Even if that publication will only give you exposure, it must be nice to be acknowledged and given that opportunity. I hope that you are generally staying busy and managing to keep at the writing.
