It's never too late...

They say it's never too late. With 11 months remaining, today is a momentous day. For today, I plant my well seasoned PhD tree into the digital soil of inter-web land. I step back to admire the many branches which have grown, some bare, brown and rotten to the core, others with blossoming leaves, providing nourishment to crawling ideas (insects!) which have in-turn multiplied and evolved. All that remains, is for the roots to settle in their new found plot (blog!) as I hope they come to terms with a more stable foundation having been quite unsettled to-date with numerous homes (including an old notepad, which to my dismay took a run and jump and still remains 'somewhere out there', or lost in the oblivion).

So where am I in terms of my research?

Onset detection. Yes. Indeed. Why? I need to segment all the notes from the IOWA samples. So where's my horse? We must ride forth, and conquer without any further adieu, remembering to pause at energy bursts, consider their authenticity as an onset, validate, take note, and ride the sustain...
