Long Time No Blog, But Flyin’ Home

General Comments Off on Long Time No Blog, But Flyin’ Home

I’m still alive and lots to catch up on, but have just almost finished a relaxing month away in the Northern hemisphere. Anyone who is expecting a mail or anything out of me will have to wait for another little while, but feeling pretty good and refreshed and signs of the Glandular Fever seem to have disappeared.

We had a ball away, with trips around Paris and London, and my first Christmas at home for 3 years. It was all pretty sweet, but looking forward to getting back to NZ and tackle the busy January and February planned with Linux.conf.au, possible trips to the US, trip from Domhnall, and maybe the OpenSolaris conference. Should be fun.

Just over a year ago, I finally decided to stop pissing my airpoints down the stream and signed up with Singapore Airlines and Star Alliance. I don’t know what I was thinking earlier, but having lounge access has made the flying experience so much more relaxing and enjoyable. Heathrow continues to be absolute clusterfuck (seriously, someone needs to hire some clever people who have mastered in queue theory), but the lounges are those quiet oases I’ve always dreamed about (and free WiFi too!). See you on the other side!
