Picard management tip: If crew members have what they need to be comfortable, their work won't be all about money.

Congratulations to Kamran Qureshi on having his first papers accepted at IEEE ISCAS 2025 as part of the ATHENA lab! 1) Improving the Efficiency of VVC ... (athena.itec.aau.at/2025/01/impr...) and 2) Multi-resolution Encoding for HAS using VVenC (athena.itec.aau.at/2025/01/mult...).

I don't enjoy writing dry technical docs. Thankfully, when it's just my personal ramblings, I can inject a bit of whimsy.

😂😂 Discovering one or more typos in the title of a published paper years later.

Is there any plugin for @overleaf.com that provides a "nice" and automatic formatting of the LaTeX code?

The last workday before the holidays is complete. Time to chill. 🍾😎

A finished thesis usually provides further research questions.
