''Hi Emile,
welcome to ThoughtStorms. Tell us a bit about yourself here :-) – PhilJones''
OK, I'm french and currently studying ArtificialIntelligence in Beijing. I have a not-so-often updated blog at http://eleves.ec-lille.fr/~kroeger and that's about it. Oh yes I'm also into FreeSoftware video game projects, and game design (or system / interaction / interface design in general).
I'm interested in (insert mile long list here) so I found a lot of interesting ideas bouncing around here. Probably especially in the internet / politics sections (I'm wondering if I'm MovingToTheRight. I am certainly getting more skepical about quite a few things). I'll be very interested in ideas like PhilosophicalMarkup.
Anyway this wiki looks like an interesting place and I should be hanging around some.
AIInChina! That sounds so cool! How is AI research there? What are they interested in?
I'm not doing any research yet, just following the courses. I'll really get started in research next year, now it's also paper-reading time.
I was in Beijing for a few days at the end of 2002 and I thought it was fascinating. Horribly polluted, and it's a shame they're razing the OrganicArchitecture in favour of appartment blocks. (I keep meaning to create a page here on HuTonRoofs. Saddly all the photos I took on a cheap disposable camera came out very bad.)
Hey, I have a digital camera, I can get some hutong pictures (I don't have many now, I mostly explored the city before getting my camera and I tend to stay stuck on campus a lot).
But there was an interesting energy there. A lot of Westerners too. I can imagine it would be great to stay / study there for a longer period.
How did you decide / manage to study there? And what language do you speak in college?
: My school in France has an exchange program with China. I got on ok with the chinese students, learnt a bit of chinese, and well, may as well do it all the way :) I use chinese and english here. The courses are mostly in chinese, but I can get enough material to keep up (I can have a conversation in chinese, but understanding a knowledge engineering course by a teacher with a heavy southern accent is another matter).
Hi Emile,
thanks very much for reverting spam. :-)
Looks like ThoughtStorms is in their sights ... I hope we can keep up with the deluge. Otherwise I'll have to start IP blocking. :-(
The advantage of spambots over evil malicious trolls is that they give up a fight quickly, so I doubt he'll be back, he's out there looking for a unmaintained wiki.
Whoever designed spambot scripts is probably going to be reincarnated as a toilet seat in his next life.
