Space Tour

While surfing to the Kennedy Space Center web site to buy admission ticket to the visitor center, I found this great tour, Cape Canaveral: Then and Now, and of course I booked two tickets for it straightaway for our Florida vacation in December!

Leah and I visited KSC just over two years ago for a shuttle launch. Unfortunately NASA scrubbed the launch after two tries due to bad weather on the backup emergency landing site. And I was planning to propose to Leah right as the shuttle flew up to outer space! Oh well…

Fixes for my gadget-less status

To keep my brain active for the next few months until the P900 arrives in the US as well as for the next two weeks while I am working in Portland, I am planning to do the followings:

1. Develop a ZeroConf (otherwise known as Rendezvous) library in .NET/C#.
2. Using this library, develop a Window instant messaging client that will work with iChat over ZeroConf/Rendezvous. I will call this application, uChat.
3. Play with the CommuniCam for my T68i that I just got from eBay. Here is a picture of my TiBook with the urban MacSkinz.

Go West

Looks like I will be traveling to Oregon this Sunday for two weeks on business, again. No worry about blogging though, as I would be taking both my work PC laptop and my TiBook with me. It always amuses me to see the faces of airport security screeners when I pull two laptops out from my bag for X-Ray. Leah will probably fly out to visit for one of the weekend while I am there.

Nuts!

As I was doing an inventory of my belongings before I left the office this evening, I realized how absurd the amount, in value, of things I take with me everyday. Here are the usual suspects:

1. Cellphones (one for work, one for personal)
2. PDA
3. iPod
4. Leather briefcase (to carry all these things in)

As well as these, my other valuables include my wallet, watch and glasses. And this is on a day when I am not taking my work laptop with me.

If you tell someone on the street that you are carry more than $1000 in cash on you, that person will say you are nuts! Not so if that $1000 is converted into gadgets and clothes/jewelries. It’s a crazy world we live in.

De-Coupling

At last someone expresses in words what I feel about the American version of Coupling and how unfunny it is. How come American TV producers never learn that British humors do not transfer well across the Atlantic when they are not played out by British actors? Advise to anyone who are remotely interested in Coupling: buy the DVD and watch the British version.
