This past weekend was a beautiful and eventful one in San Francisco. For the first time since moving here, I was finally in town for Fleet Week and the second series of events for America’s Cup was also being held. Add in The Giants landing themselves in the playoffs and you have a crazy weekend […]

Some Partimus work, a space ship and the rest of September
October 5th, 2012 by pleia2
September was quite the overwhelming month. In retrospect I really took on too much at once and then was slammed by timing of several things, including increased work-related activities, time crunch for some of the wedding planning, all my upcoming travel and the Jewish high holy days. I squeezed in some Partimus work this month, […]
San Francisco Tourist: September edition
September 30th, 2012 by pleia2
A huge amount of my time lately has been spent preparing for upcoming travel and getting things in order on the work side. However, I’ve managed to sneak out for quick jaunts around the city, usually while doing other things. On the 18th we had some time to kill and decided to swing by the […]
31 years old
September 30th, 2012 by pleia2
Yesterday I turned 31, and lest I be accused of growing up, I thoroughly enjoyed and celebrated my birthday. First, MJ surprised me with a trip down to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. I had been in the building before for a holiday party, but they hadn’t completed the major Revolution exhibit that […]
Upcoming travel, Raspberry Pi, LISA 12 and HHD
September 15th, 2012 by pleia2
Following the Ubuntu Global Jam event last Saturday, I was able to spend Sunday finally catching up on some home stuff that needed done. Managed grocery shopping, swung by Bed, Bath & Beyond to get a frame for my O’Reilly award (yay!) and when I got home I spent quite a bit of time dusting […]

I have been exceptionally busy lately. I have a lot going on with work, some exciting but loosely scheduled plans for travel are upcoming in October, today I learned that I’ll be going to the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Copenhagen October 29th – Nov 1st, and we have personal things like wedding planning and some […]
Some *nix events and an evening at the SF Zoo
August 20th, 2012 by pleia2
While Matti was in town we ended up at brunch one morning talking some about Tom Limoncelli’s excellent Time Management for System Administrators book, so I ended up rereading it last week. I’ve actually adopted a lot of the things discussed in the book, but I still have work to do when it comes to […]
Since Portlands
August 4th, 2012 by pleia2
It was pretty cool visiting both Portlands in July, but it sure managed to make my July fly by. I can’t believe it’s August already. At work I recently published 5 things about FOSS Linux virtualization you may not know following up with a conversation about virtualization tools I had at SCALE back in January. […]

Santa Cruz and this week
July 15th, 2012 by pleia2
I mentioned in my last post that following Felton LUG I went with Bob Lewis (and Peter Belew) over to Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. It’s a beautiful park, that I later learned is much larger than the part week walked, with a number of trails and even a campground. We ended up doing a […]

Super Princesses, presentations and anniversary
July 3rd, 2012 by pleia2
I’ve been going to the movie theater more than usual lately, and still have at least one movie on my list to see. Two of the ones I saw last week stood out for their super princess power (and passing the Bechdel Test): Brave and Snow White and the Huntsman. Both movies centered around a […]
