Work…

Today I worked.  No breaks, almost no emails (like, seven maybe), no phone calls, no meetings, no chit-chat watercooler stuff, barely had lunch (a sandwich from home) – while I worked.  From 8:30 AM straight through to 6:30 PM, and I am tired.  I got a LOT done.

I located two possible rack shelves to use, [...]

The Bailout Plan…

Here is the link to the text draft (NY Times).  Not even remotely related to Linux, but unbelievably important to all Americans.  Scared yet?  Stop these clowns – let them know this is nuts.  As one commentator on CNN put it, SecTreas is only asking that you make him king, and go away.

VMworld2008 – Some personal thoughts…

I just want to add a little more about my impressions of the VMworld2008 conference in Las Vegas.  I have to say, it has been a long time since I have felt real intellectual intimidation and pressure to keep up, but I felt both in refreshingly uncomfortable quantities at this conference.  So much brain-power was [...]

All Moved In….

We have been in the house just over a week now.  It turned out great with the fresh paint and new floors and lights.  We are just really happy with the house now.  All done unpacking, and out of the hotel we were staying in for a month.  Now I have to tackle the yard, [...]

Waiting to Move In….

Well, we have been in the States now about a month and a half.  Fourth of July, and I am blogging over a really good beer (New Belgium Mighty Arrow), from the second long-term stay hotel of this adventure.  We are waiting on flooring to show up as we continue renovating our house, as well [...]
