Arrived in Vancouver for Sunbelt!

I just arrived in Vancouver at the Coast Plaza hotel for the Sunbelt conference. The conference starts tomorrow and today and yesterday are workshops but you have to pay for these workshops so I decided not to go. It's great weather in Vancouver, sunny and about 16 degrees. And there's Wi-Fi in the hotel room! Yay!

I did quite a bit of stuff while on the plane to Vancouver. I reviewed my presentation slides, I watched the Chronicles of Narnia (which by the way was a great movie and I can definitely see the Christian resemblance with the lion, the witch and Peter and which I finally wanted to see), I looked at the Sunbelt schedule of talks that I want to go to, and I read a chapter from the Naked Conversations book.

Some interesting presentations that I will go to. The ones I am interested in are the following:

Wednesday:
Deconstructing the tie: behavioural and self-report measures of relationships
A Database Perspective of Social Network Analysis Data processing interest in social networks is becoming pervasive and data volumes increase
Creating dynamic social network models from sensor data
Internet usage and social network characteristics in contemporary Hugarian society: A logitudinal analysis
How to Build useful neighborhood information systems
Using social network analysis to explore and predict performance in public-private partnerships
The development of personal friendship networks

I'll post Thursday and Friday's schedule later.

The conference starts tomorrow, I'm planning to go out after finished blogging and enjoy the nice weather in Vancouver. It's 16 degrees and sunny! I'll upload the podcast that I just did coming to Vancouver a little later. It's time to enjoy the nice weather outside!

I will practice my presentation tonight.
