Ungh. Finally home after what was intended to be a quick overnight (Wed night, thanks for asking) and back in the morning software installation. Highly, highly customized cluster. Careful, careful administrative staff. I wound up creating a local build of GCC in /tmp and building my stuff using that, rather than wrestling with the guy . . . → Read More: Home safe Off to New Jersey tomorrow to do an install. Wheee. This trip sort of snuck up on me, and I can’t say that I’m thrilled to be visiting the “garden state.” Still, can’t beat the price on SouthWest. $50 one way to Philadelphia, and then an hour drive up to the customer site. Spent . . . → Read More: Stuff We’re safely back, no thanks to the EXTREME weather. Apparently New York was closed to inbound air traffic for a while, and they rerouted a lot of flights to Boston.

We’ve been snorkeling and bicycling and all the usual resort beach island stuff.

Tomorrow, we leave the car at the hotel (thank you http://www.parksleepfly.com) and take a shuttle over to the airport for our beastly early flight. Tomorrow afternoon, we arrive in the Turks and Caicos Islands. The beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands are situated 575 miles . . . → Read More: Stuff, and goodbye for a bit. Writing an article for a trade rag. The editor’s name is “Doug Eadline”. So that makes his address what? deadline@this.magazine.com. Makes me giggle every time I get email. Went to a couple of Pilates classes with Jen. Pilates is like “hour of abs” and “core strength on crack.” My gut hurts. Finally about to stop . . . → Read More: Brief update. |
