[Shameless Plug] -- Embedded Systems Conference

Tim Wescott · Jan 9, 2005

I'll be delivering two presentations -- PID Without a PhD, and Basic
Control Theory for Software Engineers. More details at
http://www.esconline.com/sf/index.htm.

This being the ESC, they've put the advanced class before the
prerequisite -- oh well.

Just teach it in reverse and tell your students to push the material on their
internal stacks and pop through later on when they get a chance.

Best wishes to you, Tim. I had noticed you in the preliminary program.

Why do they always have the ESC in San Francisco?
I can't go there, and wouldn't if I could.
The Anaheim Convention center site would be a better choice!
Or even Los Vegas!

Allows most of Silicon Valley to attend...

The silicon valleys in southern california, prefer to stay at the beach

Actually Silicon Valley is in north central California, (Bay area)
and that is 357 miles north of the Irvine, CA company I work for.
(Abt 600KM)

You going to the ESC?

Company will not pay for anything in the SF area, they say it is
too expensive. They will pay in Anaheim or LV! I've even been
allowed to book in Phoenix and Denver (Gun Barrel, CO). Just NOT
SF!

No other explanation!

So you can't go to New York, Boston, Chicago, and any other major city? I
don't find San Francisco any more expensive than any of the above, in fact I
think I usually pay less in San Fran. I usually use Expedia or Hotels.com
or some other discount broker, and don't stay at the conference hotels ...

San Francisco is not necessarily more expensive than those other cities,
if you avoid the big hotels downtown. One option is to find a hotel near
CalTrain or Bart. These are the commuter rail services. You can walk from
either to the convention center. I stay with family and do this several
times a year. Don't rent a car, parking will kill you.

Air tickets are usually available at discount rates if you plan ahead. I
pay from $200-$250 from Minneapolis.

If I wanted to go, I would predetermine hotels and travel options, and
then talk to the powers that be.

Hi Tim,

I will almost certainly be at the Analog Devices booth. I would love to buy
you a beer. Any other comp.dsp'ers ?

Someone presented a $1,200 expense report for a one night stay:
claimed it was because the hotels were so expensive. Wouldn't
have anything to do with a pair of hookers? Nah....

Perhaps they should just not reimburse expenses for "room service".

You can, of course, read the material on my web site which covers the

talks one way or another. Throwing rotten vegetables at your own
computer screen is, however, much less satisfying than using them on a
presenter.

Branson, MO a better choice.
More central location.
Better scenery.
Less traffic.
I'd only have to drive 1/2 hour

Read the article in the MAG. Fairly simplified and quite useful
for explaining to management. However the Thermal side was very
over simplified. Our app required 5 to 9 zone control of a
cylindrical furnace (semiconductor processing. (LPE and CID) so
the interaction and variation due to horizontal and vertical tubes
were of major concern.

Fortunately, I do not do the Process Furnaces anymore, that
customer was bought and the entire factory moved out. (We do
system level consulting.)

If you think it's expensive to go to SF to see
a conference, just try exhibiting at one...

Are they closed union shop like the Eastern ones? I hate having to pay
those guy to do trivial stuff. Dreyage, my a**. 8-( And an

Yes, it was. I wanted something that didn't include an intrinsic

integrator, and I didn't want to spend days on a real thermal model.
