Like the previous years, our research group, which is part of the HiPEAC network, organises the ACACES Summer School. Due to the earthquake hitting L’Aquila a few months ago, we’ve relocated to Terrassa, near Barcelona, Spain.
The facilities are sweet, the food is good (so far), and there is a neat swimming pool. And free WiFi.
Case in point: my room. It had WiFi, and UTP jacks at the desk and the toilet 
The building had a very neat design, using rusty metal and metal moveable shutters.
The pool was really enjoyable, even at 1:00 AM, though people tended to dive in with their clothes on at that point.
Next to the main conference hotel, there was an older building, where we held our poster session. And where the wedding party we crashed on Friday was held.
Over the next few days, I’m going to post the notes I have taken in the courses I am attending. Nothing fancy, just what I jotted together.
If you are on twitter, you can also grab the posts tagged with #acaces09, since Alasdair Hawsthorne (previously with Transitive) asked us to use them during his invited talk on Monday evening.
As I have been appointed as the official photographer of the event, pictures will be available in large quantities on flickr. There is also a flickr ACACES group pool where you can add notes, tag the pictures and add your own.
