Enough travelling already

Sitting in the New York JFK United lounge (which incidentally, has free wifi). Spent a great week in Princeton with Sandy Fraser at Fraser Research - full coverage available in Dave "blogthief" Scott's blog.

Ordered a Cyclades TS-800 to act as serial console server for the Flirble and Recoil machine clusters. Hopefully this should cure the woes with remote management of x86 servers (why, oh why, can't they have something as cool as Sun LOM?)

And Princeton comes to a close...

Ah well, just finished cleaning up my desk at Fraser Research - it's been a lot of fun here! From rafting on the Delaware to supping fine Brazilian cuisine in New York, and of course most excellent drinks from Small World Coffee. But it'll be nice to get back to Cambridge for the regular Sunday afternoon ostrich burgers as well :-)

I went back to the UK for the weekend to attend Seb's reception ... a fun time was to be had by all - Nick took a bunch of wicked photographs which he'll upload soon (hint hint). I'm back in Princeton now, but going off to Las Vegas tommorrow to attend The 2003 International Conference on Security and Management along with Rich Sharp.
Update: Actually in Vegas now, and posting from a random net cafe here ... the conference sucks, but we're having a great time checking out the "sights"; just rented a car to drive out to the desert and check out some gorgeous sand!

I'm finally in Princeton, after a crazy rush to get a visa (an adventure all in itself), and then the equally crazy rush to get out of my room in Robinson. Still settling in here, but work at Fraser Research is proving to be a lot of fun. I even found a Capoeira class just down the road (they were practising on the street when Scottie and I wandered past). Gonna try it on Monday ... !
