Oh, in case anyone cared. I have a new hard drive, with some of the old data. It’s amazingly hard to keep track of the data that is actually useful on a 40G drive. What I miss most so far: my Thunderbird address book.

I’ll be in San Francisco next week for a very quick trip, just the length of OSBC. In SF by Monday night, out of there by Wed night. I’ve never been to OSBC, so am not 100% sure what to expect. We’ll just have to see…

My hard drive is very unhappy, which means that I can’t do any of the experimental hacking I was hoping to do on the plane on the way back tomorrow.

Paul Kedrosky self-flagellates himself (which seems a bit of a redundant phrase, but without the “himself” it seems awkward — “bancal” in French) on his too-frequent use of the word “interesting”.

Sigh. Things aren’t quite right in the computer department. Thunderbird is using 170,394Kb of memory after running for 10 minutes. My hard drive is flaking out while at a conference. VPN doesn’t make it out of the conference LAN. Luckily, people are more reliable, friends are still friends and chefs...
