This is a view on downtown from the walking bridge between Lake Side and McCormick\nbuildings of the conference site:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"/assets/images/dsci0028.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"cinf-morning\">CINF morning</h2>\n\n<p>Yeah, more CINF session reports; I’m a chemoinformatician, remember. Chen showed us around in the latest changes in\n<a href=\"http://cdb.ics.uci.edu/CHEM/Web/\">ChemDB</a>, such as retrosynthesis planning. Banik shows a patented method for\nshowing differences in a set of spectra, though his examples were not really impressive; if the method is really\npowerful, the examples might have been picked a bit more careful. And I have to say, in retrospect, I found the\npresentations in the CINF sessions typically of lower quality than I had expected for the big ACS meeting. Fortunately,\nmeeting all the people here makes more than up for that. Guha presented a potentially powerful method to cluster\nlarge and huge data sets with a method that approximated SVD by splitting up the full matrices into many smaller ones.</p>\n\n<h2 id=\"laptop-lane\">Laptop Lane</h2>\n\n<p>The idea was that us bloggers met up, but that did not quite work out. No problem though. Spoke about many things\nwith several people. <a href=\"http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/blogs/murrayrust/\">Peter</a> pointed me to an email from Noel on getting\n<a href=\"http://chemicalblogspace.blogspot.com/2007/03/jacs-toc-featuring-your-review.html\">blog comments on JACS/ChemComm/JCIM papers on the table of contents</a>.\nAnd somewhere that day, <a href=\"http://usefulchem.blogspot.com/\">Jean-Claude</a> pointed me to\n<a href=\"http://usefulchem.blogspot.com/2007/03/communicating-chemistry-at-acs.html\">more chemistry in Second Life</a>\n(set up by <a href=\"http://bethssecondlife.blogspot.com/\">Beth</a>). Both are great follow ups on\n<a href=\"https://chem-bla-ics.linkedchemistry.info/2007/03/26/acs-chicago-day-1.html\">the blog/wiki session by CHED yesterday <i class=\"fa-solid fa-recycle fa-xs\"></i></a>!\nAround 17:00 we left for one of the receptions in the W hotel in one of the WOW rooms, though the view was not that spectacular:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"/assets/images/dsci0037.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></p>\n\n<h2 id=\"bulls\">Bulls</h2>\n\n<p>I did not stay very long at the party, as I had to leave for the Bulls game against Portland. That was fun indeed!\nIf I knew my first breakfast was going to cost 22 dollar, I would have bought a better ticket, but now I had a\n<em>Stand 1</em> ticket which is so high up in the stadium that even the security people had not idea where to send\nme :) The view was still more than good enough to feel the pain/joy of the blocks and dunks-in-your-face:</p>\n\n<p><img src=\"/assets/images/dsci0042.jpg\" alt=\"\" /></p>",
