I’m gonna upload lots of pics to Flickr right now, but thought I should just blog about this first. #1 line: “I was linked on Zeldman.com“. I said this only to the academic guy in the kilt, actually. Standard line: “We’re from Singapore.” coupled with either “That’s 14 hours’ time difference!” or “It takes over …
Month: March 2006
Checked into the DoubleTree Hotel Austin in the early evening. It’s one of the older hotels, as I had heard, but thankfully it’s been recently renovated and my non-smoking room is clean and well-furnished. After I left my bags in the room, I had dinner with Mark and talked football (Premier League, Champions League, World …
I woke up late this morning, had a quick chat with Katie and went back to sleep. Woke up again, washed my hair, changed, made myself a cheese sandwich (yum!) and continued to sit at the dining table with my laptop, watching the workers move in and out. I’m good at doing that. Rosie and …
Argh, I’m running through the schedule, and there are too many good panels clashing at the same time. I wish I had Hermione’s Time-turner pendant. Then at least I could attend everything I want! Update: I’ve made my choice.
After a short but comfortable flight from Los Angeles, I’m now in Austin, staying over at Kristen and Mark’s new place. It’s coming along nicely! Finally got to meet Rosie and Bonnie. We’re going out for dinner soon. Ta! Update: Had a most satisfying dinner at Salt Licks. Managed to finish (nearly) a full slab …
Aghghgh! Look at who’s performing after the screening of the movie, ‘Before the Music Dies’. I’m a big fan of Erykah Badu because she’s different from the typical R&B/soul diva. Her lyrics can be pretty ‘cleva’ too (as she says she is, in a song)- even if some tracks are, as a friend puts it, …
I’m pleased to announce the launch of websg.org, a joint initiative by Tribolum and Vantan. We will be covering SXSWi on this spanking new blog, among other things. You have to give it to Lucian for his kickass design. I’m sure Zeldman would be proud 😉
To non-techies who don’t know what I’m talking about, this is with relation to a previous post about a special lifetime web hosting offer (Textdrive), combined with an enterprise-level sharing service (Joyent) and secure file storage (Strongspace). I haven’t really done much with my 2GB Textdrive hosting account. I’ve yet to receive a Strongspace login …
After months of ding-donging, my order of Reason 3.0 finally arrived. I will post more updates in my Korg Blog, since this is pretty geeky-music tech stuff. Update 3/6/2006: I received a query for a Reason 3.0 registration key. I’m sorry but I don’t do this sort of thing. You should purchase a legal copy …
Support this new blog on Singapore history. Hmm … if I had time I’d write something myself! But I’m slogging all the way through this weekend until I fly to Austin … and even then I’ll be working on my laptop. Phew!
