Life: February 2005 Archives

The Snowsuit Effort is an excellent photo blog that I found via the Bloggies. Actually, the word "excellent" doesn't do this blog justice. Not only is the design sublime, but the photos are truly astounding. If I were one one-hundredth as good at photography as the photographer behind The Snowsuit Effort, I would be a happy camper.

... while I was able to write that last post in Frankfurt, I wasn't able to get it posted until I got back home. I was having a weird problem with the Wifi in Frankfurt airport -- it was taking a super long time to establish TCP connections. But once they were up, data riding over the established socket was rather snappy. Anyways, I tried to hit "post" just as Luftansa started herding everyone at the waiting area onto several buses, so that we could be taken to the plane (which was out on the tarmac, not near the terminals). I waited as long as I possibly could, and when I saw the "error" dialog, I just went for the bus. Normally, I would have liked to do some network troubleshooting, but I really didn't want to miss my plane.

I'm sitting at Frankfurt International Airport, waiting for my Luftansa flight to London, where I will connect to another flight to San Francisco. On the whole, my trip to Germany was okay. I did a ridiculous amount of work, and when you factor in going out for 2+ hour dinners every night, I didn't really have a whole lot of personal time on this trip. But still, I am grateful to the EDS team in Germany for helping me out at every step along the way. I''m not really into this whole traveling thing, or even the training thing, but thankfully they made the task that I had to do over the course of the last 2 weeks a lot easier.

Anyways, the flight is boarding now, so I'll have to write more about my Germany experiences later.
