And yet, with war starting and us at an "Orange Plus" terrorist threat level, most of us are presumably at work today, doing what they normally do.

Last night, as the deadline passed, Philip and I were hard at work on our neural net AI project, building the final piece of the evolutionary algorithm. We hadn't done great version control (we've got two development environments), so after coding the piece that determines individual's fitness after each generation, we called it a night. We'll test it this weekend, debug it, and hopefully start evolving some neural net architectures.

Work also doesn't feel all that unchanged. I think most people are expecting a nightful of bombing in Iraq, but there's always the possibility that they'll hold off for a few more days.

I don't know.

I guess we're all in "wait and see" mode, but everyone I know still seems to be going about business as usual.
