Dear ChucKian community members, Quick announcements: I am being officially chucked/upchucked to the left coast of the U.S., where I begin my appointment at Stanford/CCRMA as Assistant Professor (PhD pending). Super stoked about this, and also super sad to leave Princeton - though in many ways, I don't think I am ever really leaving (the currently unfinished chuckian dissertation is but one testament to this - sorry Perry, I promise it'll be done soon!). ChucKian research, development, and melting of CPU's will continue in full and more, now at Stanford and Princeton and elsewhere, and with the full chuck team and new researchers too. The authoritative (and ever-changing) TODO list shall continue to be implemented, Rebecca and I will continue to explore the upchuck and much more, crazy new things will be investigated/realized/maybe even documented, and we all shall endeavor to make the future of chuck/audio programming more fun and less not-fun. Also, the Princeton Laptop Orchestra is undergoing some sort of related mitosis, for I am also to initiate a laptop orchestra at Stanford - perhaps further fulfilling the Manifest Destiny of PLOrk, first envisioned by Dan and Perry, and which we've set in motion in the last two insane years: "a laptop orchestra on every coast (and in between and beyond), running ChucKian software" uh... I made up that last part (but it's a thought, I guess). I want to take this opportunity (and also on behalf of the chuck team) to give thanks to *you* and to this our little chuck family, for the adventure and invaluable support thus far. Here's to more and better research / features / bugs / buffer underruns / bus errors / seg faults / documentation / etc! ThanK you, CheeRs, and may we upChucK in peace! Ge!
