So at 4am tomorrow morning (Pittsburgh time) we are supposed to start being pelted with ice pellets. Then some sleet, then snow, then rain, then snow. So I think we will be doing the museums or perhaps the science center. Im off to Athens on the 28th for a few days work, just confirmed transport today. We are waiting to hear back from some of Laurel’s friends and may be off to Newark to meet up with them for a couple of days.

Its cold out
Well, its way too cold for snow tonight, its dropping to 9f which is -13c. Its about 18f out at the moment and thats plenty cold enough for me.
Today we went to the Northway Mall and got a few hoodies and warm clothes. Not sure what im doing tomorrow, something inside probably perhaps the last of our xmas shopping.
In the snow
We made it, after a few dramas at San Francisco airport. First United had lost our tickets, then we finally sorted that out, and snow in Chicago meant our flight was delayed. Consequently we got to Chicago and had 3 minutes to make our connection to Pittsburgh, we made it luckily. So we are still jet lagged and tired, but are enjoying the snow and crisp weather. More news as it happens, keep it tuned to the Korerorero blug.
What a game!
Well, we lost but theres very little shame in that when you lose by 2 runs
and have scored 320. 642 runs a days cricket .. you can’t ask for much more
than that. And the atmosphere at the stadium was great. I’m off to the
cricket wilderness of Pittsburgh for a few weeks, so cricinfo.com will be my
friend.
Sideways
I think this movie is best summed up as WTF mate? Seriously, Laurel and I watched about 40 minutes of it before giving up, it had gone precisely nowhere in those 40 minutes. So its back in the envelope and back to fatso.co.nz it goes.
Hence forth, this blog is now to be known as a blug
Ive decided im bored of doing a blog, and Rachel made a nice typo this morning, which prompted me to decide that im going to be doing a blug instead from now on.
Once I decide what a blug is, i’ll be sure to blug about it.
Do you have to be a grumpy dickhead to drive a bus in Wellington?
Probably not, but it seems high on the list of requirements to get the job.
If you hate people that much dont do a job that involves almost constant
interaction with them. And for christ sakes, let the old people sit down
before you pull out of the stop cutting off traffic.
I need a student ID
Ok, so I’m planning to go watch some hockey when I’m in the states over Christmas. The Penguins have a great deal if you are a student, the Penguins Student Rush. Basically you turn up 1 hour before the game, and get the best of the seats unsold for $20.
So now I just need a student ID 🙂
Google analytics
Im currently trying Google Analytics at the moment to track visits to the blog. Just to see what it looks like. So far its pretty cool, but if you are using linux (or probably anything) make sure you update your flash plugin for the browser. It goes very badly with versions older than 7.0.
In other geeky news im speaking at the Linux Conf Australia next year, which
despite the name is being held in Dunedin, New Zealand.
Lucky I have a few 13 hour flights before then that I can use for speech
writing.
Evidence
Some of the tutors and staff at tlc had an exhibition on last weekend.
It was all really good stuff, and Laurel got some nice feedback on her piece so thats all good.
