@andrewhyde - see my web site (alanporter.com) for a westerner’s perspective of living in Singapore. Fascinating place. You’ll love it.
If I am 12 hours AHEAD of eastern time, am I really “catching up”? Or am I waiting for everyone else to catch up with me?
Being 12 time zones away means all of my daily tweets come in during the night. Wake up, catch up.
Day 2 in Malaysia (continued): hair cuts for the girls for US$10 total
Day 2 in Malaysia: woke up at 4am (jet-lag), shopped at the “wet market”, came home and beat that DSL modem into submission — yeah!
Wednesday’s weather report for Malaysia: hot, humid, sticky. Oh wait, that was yesterday’s report…
Day 1 in Malaysia: changing pace, remembering what local food is like, shopping for nothing, and fighting a DSL modem?
We’re on the other side… 30 hours, doorstep to doorstep… but it took another half-day to find an open wifi hotspot!
So THIS is what oh-dark-thirty feels like!
Official end of summer - cold drizzly weather for the neighborhood pool-closing party.
IFR conditions on Interstate 40.
There’s a NEW Mexico? Naming states with the kids in the car. I only got 40 before needing help.
Vacation officially starts… … … NOW!
Today is Hawaiian shirt day at the office… not for everyone, just for me.

Moved in the corporate shuffle… am I a HOT COMMODITY or a TOXIC ASSET?
Had a crazy dream — I met @anjibee, she turned out to be a teenager! Felt like the movie “Lost in Translation”. #dreams #IAmNotAStalker
Ahhh… no sort of device driver magic will make the ethernet device work — if it is disabled in the BIOS. #doah
How How!
I just noticed that I’ve gone all morning without my Twitter client running… I feel like I’ve just noticed that my fly was open!
It was a day of cake and airplanes and candy and horses and hidden treasures… in that order.
Somehow, I got iTunes and rsync fighting against each other… caused a real log jam on my home network.
@nivex: hope you’re having a great time at #atllinuxfest!
#pirateday … yarr
I have a photogenic memory.
My friends have awesome friends.
Don’t you hate it when people tell you some news, and then two days later, they ask you to keep it under wraps?
I was caught up on email when I left yesterday… 47 messages waiting for me this morning. I must be *important*.
I screwed up the #trilug server reboot today. A 4-mo old backup LVM got mounted on /home. It was like a trip back in time! #snafu #doah
OK, the overly-shiny Web 2.0 buttons were cute for a while, but they’re starting to getting old now.

If you were going on a tropical vacation, would you think it’s necessary to pack a Linksys wireless router? Mine’s loaded with Tomato.
Surprisingly easy to set up the Mac Mini as a BackupPC target. Rsync and sudo “just worked”, just like they do on Linux.
I am so proud… my daughter is now a ninja! #clubpenguin
We have them trained well… #2 woke up and watched a movie, then #1 woke up and played computer games, I got to sleep late.
Fun sessions at #evilrobotconf : (1) open itunes server protocols (2) code on life support (3) git (4) Erlang (5) btrfs
I suppose things could always be worse… I could be a professional Erlang programmer. #evilrobotconf

Tomorrow: (1) #bugfest (2) #evilrobotconf (3) RTP Product Design Street Faire (4) Lenovo “warehouse sale” — decisions, decisions
At least ONE of my kids got to watch the president’s speech… only because she was at home, sick.
Day 4 of a three day weekend… sigh.
@pwbrewer: you kids and your garage band noise…
Caught a glimpse of Michael Jordan’s jet (N236MJ) as we arrived at RDU. Unmistakable Air Jordan.
Slinkys are the most unforgiving toys.
Packing up to leave the office today was like that scene in “Office Space”.
ssh wife@herlaptop “aplay yeah_baby.wav” — she just needed some Austin Powers, if you ask me
I throw like a girl.
Looking forward to one last evening at the pool before it closes for the season.

@frijole DD got a 17+ for a GD? Aahayeeaah!
