Sunday Notations

Sunday in Singapore. I gave some thought to doing things versus doing nothing and I came down in favor of relaxing today. Its not like next week I am going to do a triathlon or anything. I’m just lazy and inclined to be lazy. I had a great day yesterday hanging at the pool, doing the museum thing, and I found this great American expat hangout for dinner. Tonite I do chili crab nearby. I also rev’ed wordpress to 2.6 and the Tarski Theme up to 2.2.1. How you may ask could I reach out to a friendly webserver and get that done? The answer is tools and habilis friends and a dash of OpenVPN. OpenVPN is one of those wondrous pieces of code that switches on productivity by default. I think its an automatically enabled compile option!! Yet what it actually does is open up corridors if you have the right creds to reach corridors where there are friendly Unix or other servers. OpenVPN is a tool for the multi-habilis toolkit where a single thing can be used for multiple enabling toolkits.

Tomorrow I go back to work and I’ve thought a deal about my last week traveling. I’ll be glad to get back home in a week or so. I miss the family unit and it’ll be good to see them. The little spats, arguments, family time is good when you don’t have them. But I also have enjoyed the “me time” on this trip. I’m on to Chennai India for a few days later this week and then back to Singapore for a evening and then on to home next Saturday. In the global sweep of time, I get in an hour after I leave from here. Its really kinda strange how that works but it all leads up to a few days of roaming, waking at strange hours, and trying to acclimate.

I’ll be blogging each day I think which is more than what I’ve been able to do when I’m just at home @ work. That seems good since I feel less blogstipated when I take the daily dose.
