Well, it’s midday on Monday and I’m busy finding things other than work to do, hence me updating this a bit instead.
July is creeping up on me so I’ve been thinking a fair bit about my plans to return to the US. One problem at the minute is the price of plane tickets to San Diego, as the average seems to be about £700-£750, which is ridiculous. I guess that’s the problem with flying during peak season.
I’m sort of toying with the idea to fly to the East Coast instead first, and then spending about a month driving across the whole country to San Diego, hitting as many riding spots as possible along the way. That’d be just incredible, but I need to figure out costs and stuff properly as I can’t see that being too cheap to do.
On a geek note, thanks to Glyn for my new toy - an Alpha powered Compaq workstation with a 500MHz EV6 CPU and 1GB RAM. This thing flies. I initially had FreeBSD on it (natch), but I’ve installed Debian/Alpha out of curiosity and it’s running really, really well.
Edit: This is gnarly. Would make a cool pet.
Let me tell you if that spider was behind my clock I’d burn my fucking house down.

Heather: Yup, and she didn’t like it one bit. Muhaha! ;)
Fletch: Don’t go buying any houses in Texas then, as that’s where these photos were taken apparently.

Well I’m sure you’ll get to the USA this year Nick, I just suppose its more of a question of how you want to get to SD.
I’d imagine a trip across country like that is going to cost you a fair chunk of money and interrupt any plans you have to work on UK based code. Still it would be a lot more fun for you and thats what you’re there for!
Just make sure you’re around SD when we fly in there! :D
