+### General ###
+
+* *Operating System* : [Mac OS X][switch]: heaven, after the purgatory of Linux 
+  and the hell of Windows.
+* *Browser*: [Firefox][firefox]. On a Mac, [Camino][camino].
+* *Email*: [GMail][gmail], "search, don't sort" really works.
+* *Text Editor*: [TextMate][textmate], you have to buy it, but it's worth every
+  penny. There are rumours that it's been converting (recovering) Emacs
+  users (addicts). Unfortunately, it's Mac only. An alternative is
+  [jedit][jedit] (GPL, Java).
+
+### Development ###
+
+* *Build system*: [cmake][cmake], throw the [autotools][autotools] away.
+* *Source code control system*: ditch CVS for [subversion][subversion].
+* *Project management*: [Trac][trac] tracks everything.
+* *Scripting language*: [Ruby][ruby] is Japanese pragmatism (and has a [poignant][poignant] guide). 
+   Python, you say? Python is too academic and snob:
+
+      $ python       
+      Python 2.4.1 (\#1, Jun  4 2005, 00:54:33) 
+      Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
+      >>> exit
+      'Use Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit.'
+      >>> quit
+      'Use Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit.'
+
+* *Java IDE*: [JBuilder][jbuilder] is great software and has a free version (IMHO better than Eclipse). Java
+ is not a pain anymore since it gained [generics][java-generics] and got opensourced.
+* *Mark-up language*: HTML is so 2001, why don't you take at look at [Markdown][markdown]? [Look at the source of this page](data/misc_markdown.png).
+* *C++ libraries*: 
+    * [QT][qt] for GUIs.
+    * [GSL][gsl] for math.
+    * [Magick++][magick] for manipulating images.
+    * [Cairo][cairo] for creating PDFs.
+    * [Boost][boost] for just about everything else.
+
+
+### Research ###
+
+* *Writing papers*: [LaTeX][latex]
+* *Writing papers & enjoying the process*: [LyX][lyx]
+* *Handsome figures in your papers*: [xfig][xfig] or, better, [jfig][jfig].
+* *The occasional presentation with many graphical content*: 
+  [OpenOffice Impress][impress] (using the [OOOlatex plugin][ooolatex]); 
+  the alternative is PowerPoint with the [TexPoint][texpoint] plugin.
+* *Managing BibTeX*: [jabref][jabref]: multi-platform, for all your bibtex needs.
+* *IEEExplore and BibTeX*: convert citations using [BibConverter][bibconverter].
+
+### Cool websites ###
+
+* *Best site in the wwworld*: [Wikipedia][wikipedia]
+* [Mutopia][mutopia] for sheet music; [the Gutenberg Project][gutenberg] for books; [LiberLiber][liberliber] for books in italian.

+Subject: A report about Oxford and the 2006 SLAM Summer School
+Encoding: BlueCloth FlickrHTML
+format: bluecloth>
+inMenu: true
+
+Let me quote the words of a renowned Oxford scholar:
+
+> "Life is too important to be taken seriously."
+
+If you do not wholeheartedly agree with this statement,
+please stop reading this.
+
+----------------------
+
+I stayed three weeks in Oxford: one week for the SLAM school and,
+before that, two weeks for an English course. You might ask: why?
+A very good question indeed - "Why I am not on a sunny beach?" -
+I kept asking myself as I walked down the misty alleys of the old town,
+wearing a scarf on August, 16th, and realizing that - maybe - I would not
+need the three pairs of shorts and the swimsuit I had brought.
+
+
+Summary:
+
+1. The Queen's English
+2. The Harry Potter experience
+3. Parsnip, Marmite and the tea conspiracy
+4. The Summer School
+5. Minor open issues in SLAM  
+
+> Appendix: How to offend seven nationalities at once
+
+`I`. The Queen's English
+----------------------
+ 
+It turns out that a course of English at an advanced level is mostly
+about vocabulary and idioms: by the end of the first week I knew seven
+different ways to address a "promiscuous" woman, and I can tell which ones
+are applicable to American and which to British English. It remains to be
+seen how this will benefit my academic writing.
+
+It was a lot of fun to learn the differences (or, as the teacher put it,
+"to purify my English after years of prolonged unhealthy exposure to American
+media"), which are not only linguistic, but above all in attitude and
+social norms.
+For example, in the US the first question that people ask you is
+"What do you do?" (meaning: "How much do you earn?"), while in England such
+a question would be felt as unnecessary direct and impolite. 
+As a rule,
+it is compulsory to exchange comments about the weather, and there is a lot
+of specialized vocabulary for this; the following table might prove handy
+to understand your acquaintance:
+
+- "It's a lovely day!" = "It doesn't rain"
+- "It's a nice day!" = "It doesn't rain heavily"
+- "What a wonderful day!"="This morning, at 10:13, I caught a glimpse of the sun"
+
+(the correct answer to any of these is "isn't it?")
+
+`II`. The Harry Potter experience
+-------------------------
+
+  flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/censi/232006603/
+
+During my three-week stay I tried my best to immerse myself in the English
+atmosphere.
+
+I went to a place called Oxford Story [3], where we paid &pound;7 to go through a
+painfully slow indoor ride, sat on a mobile school-desk in the dark for 25
+minutes. It is the claustrophobic equivalent of the American Epcot center in
+Disney World.
+
+At Epcot, I learned that the final goal of all the scientific progress in the
+last three millennia was to let Walt Disney broadcast Snow White using
+Siemens equipment (Siemens sponsored the ride).
+In Oxford, I learned that the glorious University is the repository of all
+human knowledge, and that the English understatement is a legend. At the end of
+the ride, I was amazed that in Italy I had managed to learn to read and write.
+
+  flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/censi/232023681/
+
+Still, one thing the ride did not explain is how the well-educated,
+smart elite students of Oxford can possibly find rowing fun --
+(probably it IS fun, compared to cricket).
+
+  flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/censi/232529032/
+
+I went to a candle-light baroque concert in the Exeter college chapel.
+The ensemble was 75% Asian, all Oxford researchers, and we were given
+a twenty minute speech about the effort they put in the historical
+research of this obscure composer, that they had a microfilm of the original
+manuscript delivered from a German library, that the viola would be played
+in the original style, blah blah blah. Only in Oxford!
+
+  flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/censi/232031895/
+
+I read "The Hobbit" (Tolkien was a fellow of Exeter college) - I discovered
+that the only two peoples in the known and invented universes to have
+the concept of a "second breakfast" are Hobbits and Italians.
+
+
+I watched a performance of MacBeth at an open-air theatre.
+I couldn't understand but one sentence, which is worth mentioning:
+"Alcohol provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance"
+
+Regarding alcohol, England is one of the places where you can't drink if you
+are under 21 (in Italy, at 18 you have decided to quit).
+Young people have their ID checked at the entrance of pubs and in liquor
+stores: that's only a minor annoyance, as they just need to wait outside
+the store for the first Spanish guy passing by that will buy the wine for them
+(and be compensated with just the change - did you keep the penny, Felix?).
+
+Anyway the guys at the door use the ID checking mostly as a form of flattery:
+"You are 32? I thought you were 20!" is probably the best pick-up line that
+the English can come up with.
+
+The other characteristic thing is that in English pubs there is no table
+service: you have to walk to the bar and ask by yourself. The first time can
+be confusing: and you can spend quite some time waiting at the table whining
+about the "poor service".
+
+`III`. Parsnip, Marmite & the tea conspiracy 
+---------------------------------------------
+
+During the first week I was a guest of a lovely 79-year-old lady.
+Working at the University, she made a point of speaking very posh English.
+And she made a point of cooking traditional English food.
+The typical English dish is some meat with two vegetables aside.
+For the vegetables, pick any two in {parsnip, carrot, potato}.
+
+Don't look in your dictionary for a translation of "parsnip" as probably
+there isn't one. The lady would tell me that in the next-to-last century,
+this famous professor spent years raising the finest crossbreed of Parsnip as
+to finally obtain what is best described as a big white carrot
+with no taste whatsoever [4].
+
+Nevertheless, the many regional variants give spectacular variety to the
+English cuisine: the two vegetables can be boiled, fried, baked, microwaved,
+or roasted. There exist also exotic twists, in which the vegetables are put
+on top of the meat, or underneath, or even inside.
+In important occasions, the recipes stay the same but gain a French name.
+
+
+   flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/censi/232526897/
+
+
+I tried a thing called Marmite, which the teacher sold to me as "the British
+answer to Nutella". It has the aspect and consistency of engine grease, and,
+as far as I know, also the taste is similar (I've never tasted the grease,
+but next time, presented with choice, I'd give it a go).
+
+The austerity of English food can be explained by the pitiless weather; but
+how can you explain Marmite, if not with alimentary masochism?
+
+But... there's one thing that is much better in England: tea. Wherever I tried
+it (at the old lady's, at tearooms, at coffee breaks) it was sooo delicious.
+In Italy we don't get the real thing. Why is that? Is this some sort of
+conspiracy orchestrated by the Italian coffee producers? And is it the
+tea cartello which does not allow good coffee to be imported in England?
+
+`IV`. The Summer School
+---------------------
+
+If you go for a career in research, in general you don't get much money,
+or fame, and you don't get to rescue the princess either.
+The two benefits that you do get are: playing with very expensive toys
+and the occasional trip in which you meet all sort of people.
+
+And when you talk with them, it's sort of strange to realize that your
+interlocutor is one of the 5 people - worldwide - that actually care about your
+research theme, and yet the things you have in common end there, as he has
+different culture, race, religion, and while you two happen to agree that Lie
+brackets are an indispensable tool to characterize the propagation of errors
+on the Euclidean group, you have very different answers to the important
+questions about life, the universe and everything. (In these cases I have
+anecdotal proof that it is much better to stick to research talk, and to
+avoid at all costs the kind of jokes that you can find in the Appendix).
+
+Instead, at this particular school, I would say that the European character was
+clearly perceived, and I enjoyed it -- but whether England is in Europe is a
+delicate matter.
+
+
+Here are some impressions of the people.
+
+ * Juan Domingo Tardos (aka Mingo) is the funniest of the bunch, the man you
+   want to go partying with.
+   
+   He taught us two deep truths about SLAM and life:
+   1. The size of your banana matters.
+   2. Never under-estimate the size of your lemons.
+   
+   I thought: wow, I want to write a paper with "banana" in the title - finally
+   some inspiration from the school! I already had big projects for Fig. 1,2
+   and a full-page Fig. 3, but after a little googling I found:
+   "Functional Programming with Bananas, Lenses, Envelopes and Barbed Wire"[5]
+   "Dealing with large bananas" [6].
+   I gave up: I cannot beat this last one. And the existence of [6] proves
+   once again that SLAM is a solved problem.
+
+ * Paul Newman, the organizer, told us, more than once, that the future of SLAM
+   is in long term operation if we want the systems to be reliable.
+   (Personally, I disagree: I think that it is possible to build anything at
+   the desired level of reliability, given reasonable funding, time, and
+   an appropriate number of German engineers)
+
+ * One of the lessons learned in the school is that almost everything has
+   already been done by someone else.
+   More specifically, most of the things have already been done by
+   Durrant-Whyte some twenty years ago, when men were men, CS was electrical
+   engineering, master students knew calculus, and Kalman filters ran
+   free in the wild lands of Australia.
+
+ * Frank Dellaert is a jolly chap as well, and he does interesting things with
+   graphs. As he introduced three different formalisms in the first
+   three slides, I regretted not to have put more CS in my curriculum, then
+   shut my eyes. Interestingly, at summer schools and conferences, if you close
+   your eyes people assume that you are very smart and that you are thinking
+   about some new impressive algorithm -- I was just dreaming of a sunny beach.
+
+ * Henrik Christensen has implemented SLAM on the cleaning robot for $45
+   in sensors and electronics. It puts things in perspective, especially
+   if you consider that I paid  &pound;16 for a one-hour coach trip from Heathrow
+   to Oxford.
+
+ * Andy Davison is a wonderful person, he tutored the practicals with
+   infinite patience. Never did I meet such a knowledgeable, affable,
+   and humble person. (Probably he is the kind of person that some day will
+   show up at work with automatic guns)
+
+ * Wolfram Burgard - he wins my "best robot" award for the photo of our
+   beloved Albert [7].
+
+ * Dieter Fox wins "most nostalgic slide from the 90s": and every time we feel
+   the same emotion as the first time.
+
+ * Kurt Konolige reminded me why I bought a Mac.
+
+ * Simon Lacroix - Once we sat at the same table during lunch. While he
+   talked with Dellaert, he would send me alarmed glances, the kind of glances
+   that you would reserve to a relative returning from death. I wanted
+   to ask him why, but then I decided I'd better not to (was I so wasted
+   from the night before?).
+
+ * Simon Julier -- he seems very smart, but he lost me between slide #3 and #4.
+   I started to be seasick from all those covariance matrices -
+   so I muttered to my neighbours: "I wonder whether it still holds in
+   higher-dimensional spaces...", then I closed my eyes and was back again on
+   the sunny beach.
+
+ * But all in all, the most interesting presentation was the magical show
+   that Davide Scaramuzza (who at daytime pretends to work at ETHZ) gave to a
+   selected audience after the banquet ([8]).
+   It was another confirmation that all the time spent in front of a monitor is,
+   in fact, wasted, and all of us should have studied card tricks instead:
+   you have NO IDEA of how a girl's face brightens up and her eyes expand when
+   she watches a magician.
+
+`V`. Other minor issues in SLAM 
+--------------------------------
+
+We all know that the most important open problem in SLAM is that there are
+not enough women doing research in the area and coming at summer schools.
+As for the other minor issues, this is the result of asking
+"What is the future of SLAM?" to a random sampling of the participants.
+(the list does not include answers given after 10:00 PM)
+
+ - For 30% of the respondents, SLAM is a solved problem, and we just need some
+   German engineers to work out the details of the implementations.
+ - Long term operation: make filters that reconsider their decisions at a
+   a later time (so not delaying decisions, but explicitly reconsider).
+ - Make it robust for real applications: or, your method should work in more
+   than one experiment and possibly also outside of your lab.
+ - Put more knowledge in SLAM about the environment. Teach your
+   filter what is a tree, a road, a mirror so that it can make smarter
+   decisions.
+ - Active SLAM and SLAM-guided exploration (once we figure out good acronyms).
+ - Some boring work is to be done for taking into account linearization errors
+   in the already existing results about consistency, sparsity, etc.
+ - "Where can I get some real coffee?" (2 people)
+ - Methods and representations for real sensor fusion (laser, camera, etc).
+ - Do robust stuff with a single camera. Omnidirectional cameras are cool.
+   Mix different techniques at different time-scales: visual odometry between
+   frames, then stable features, then databases of places to close the loop
+   (or don't close the loop at all).
+
+Appendix. How to offend seven nationalities at once
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+In Oxford I learned the ultimate rude stereotypical joke -- I think it's
+worth sharing.
+
+> **Heaven & Hell**
+>
+> *In Heaven*: the policemen are British, mechanics are German, chefs are French,
+> wives are Japanese, neighbours are Dutch, lovers are Italian,
+> and the Swiss organize it all.
+>
+> *In Hell*: the policemen are German, mechanics are French, chefs are British,
+> neighbours are Japanese, wives are Dutch, lovers are Swiss,
+> and the Italians organize it all.
+
+For related work, see for example [9], [10].
+
+
+And here's the research version:
+
+> **The BEST international research project**
+> 
+> - The French do the overall math analysis,
+> - a Chinese refines a ten-line proof of the main Theorem,
+> - the Germans design the implementation,
+> - Japanese undergrads do the actual work,
+> - the British write the paper,
+> - an American gives the presentation,
+> - the Spanish organize the social events,
+> - and the Italians organize the banquet.
+> 
+> **The WORST international research project**
+> 
+> - The Germans do the overall math analysis,
+> - an American PhD student spends 10 CPU year on his department's 48-node
+> cluster and proves with a Monte Carlo simulation in Matlab that
+> Theorem 1 indeed holds for some values of the parameters,
+> - the French design the implementation,
+> - one Spanish undergrad does the actual work,
+> - the Italians write the papers,
+> - a Chinese gives the presentation,
+> - the Japanese organize the social events,
+> - and the British organize the banquet.
