tap tap Is this thing on?
Choose your excuse:
I haven't posted in about six months, because
a. I bought a house,
b. I acquired two cute kittens (Derek and Elisa),
c. The acquired house needed a ton of work, including taking down a 30 foot "hedge" in the backyard,
d. I've been experimenting with all kinds of cooking,
e. I'm lazy.
What's next for me?
I'm presenting about Linux USB 3.0 support at Linux Conf AU 2010. If you're going to
LCA next week, you can check out my talk at Friday
at 10:30am in the Ilott Theatre. I'll have a USB 3.0 demo for the brave souls
that make it to morning talks. ^_^ If you miss it due to being hung over or
not being able to attend LCA, I believe they'll be video taping it.
LCA is being held in Wellington, New Zealand, this year. Jamey and I are going
bike camping for two weeks afterwards. As Martin Short put it, "I planned a
spontaneous adventure." Let's hope Captain Ron doesn't screw it
up. ;)
Any suggestions of cool things to see on the North Island? We're probably going to National Park, Te Kuite, Auckland, and the Coromandel Peninsula. Anything else in that general area?

In Auckland, you could do a day or half-day trip to Waiheke Island by ferry, and go walking or cycling around there.

James: I looked at Waiheke Island, and it looks pretty fun. I'm a little concerned because the DoC camp ground is already full around the time we'll be in Auckland (weekend of Jan. 30th). Hekerua Lodge also allows camping, and I suppose we can always stay at a B&B if all the camping spots are full on the island. :)
