So much for daily entries.

My parents visited the weekend of February 17th--20th. Their original plan was to do some skiing, but the weather didn't cooperate.

And a lot of other stuff probably happened in the last two months, but I don't remember it right now.

Last week was connectathon. This year it was on Sun's campus in Santa Clara, which is less interesting than downtown San Jose. Though the location wasn't totally useless--at least there was a little shopping area next to it with some restaurants and a Safeway.

I did less testing than usual but had a lot of useful conversations with people.

Thursday night (last night) I went out to a good Malaysian restaurant with a couple connectathon people that I didn't know, which turned out to be fun.

Today I took the caltrain to San Francisco, then sat around and did a bit of thinking about some interesting acl problems leftover from connectathon. After checking into to the hostel I did some email, then met Cary and his friends Elaine and Tamara at an Italian restaurant. It was a little expensive, but very good. Then we went to Club Fugazi for Beach Banket Babylon, which was corny but fun.

And afterwards I came back to the hostel, where I'm typing this because I don't feel like going to bed yet. There's pounding music coming from the social room. The bedrooms upstairs looked kind of homey, but am I going to get any sleep tonight? We'll see.
