Hi Cassandra.

I’m still in school full-time—I expect to complete my thesis around the end of the year or in January. My research group does a lot of work in virtualization, though I’m not involved in it myself (my research is in databases systems, particularly data structures for database indexes). I have, however, been to numerous talks on the subject, and I agree that it’s very cool.

Thanks for your well wishes. I’ve really beeng enjoying Japanese—and especially TextFugu—thus far.
