ESSLLI is fun! I've been to the one in Hamburg and one in Bordeaux, and
will definitely be going to next ESSLLI in Ljubljana. Let me know if
anyone of you plans to go there. I would love to finally meet at least
one Haskeller in real life. :-)

As for the remark about shift towards logics: I am inclined to agree
with Daniel. Nevertheless there are so many things going on in parallel
at ESSLLI, so it rarely happens that there is nothing interesting with
wich you can fill in a slot. And after the first week you are so tired
of sitting all day long that you actually pray for a little break (or
you sleep through a couple of evening lectures, as some did :-))

Cheers,
Jan
