And now those things from the past few weeks that I didn’t manage to cover in my last post… Meeting the San Francisco Ubuntu California folks! What a treat. Grant Bowman arranged to meet up at Thirsty Bear Brewing Company which was about half a block from where I was staying. I was able to […]

September 25th, 2009 by pleia2
I’ve finished packing and I’m leaving my apartment in a couple minutes for my long birthday weekend trip out to San Francisco. I’m actually flying back on the night of my birthday on Tuesday the 29th, but the long weekend itself should be a lot of fun! So excited! While I’m out there we’re planning […]
ABE.pm and PHL.pm at Victory and the rest of my weekend
September 14th, 2009 by pleia2
On Saturday I headed down to Victory Brewing’s brewpub to meet up with the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Perl Mongers (ABE.pm) and the Philadelphia Perl Mongers (phl.pm) for a joint meetup to check out the Victory tour and hang out. I boringly just had a Hop Devil, and only one at that since I had to drive home, […]
Remembering Matthew Rosewarne
September 11th, 2009 by pleia2
Last night I received an email from his father telling me that Matthew Rosewarne had passed away. It was my responsibility to pass along the notice of his passing to the rest of PLUG, so with much difficulty, I did. His obituary is online here, reposting: MATTHEW ROSEWARNE, August 23, 2009 of Philadelphia PA. Tragically […]
Nessy back from shop!
September 8th, 2009 by pleia2
I brought Nessy over to Tri-County Bicycles last week to get her gears looked at. The guy at the shop was able to realign everything (nothing broken, yay!) and get me sorted for pretty cheap. So I went ahead and got the hybrid tires he had shown me, and luckily was able to use the […]

And I told #plug folks once the wedding was done (I met Jonathan through PLUG): Unfortunately, after arriving home after the wedding I was feeling a bit tired, later in the evening I started […]
Movies, friends, attending wedding soon
August 29th, 2009 by pleia2
I’m glad I started keeping a calendar last year, I don’t think I’d be able to live without one now. My task list is still an issue though, am currently trying out a few solutions to this, Goog Calendar now has tasks built into it, hmm. Last week I had a lovely dinner with Crissi, […]

Gosh, my blog has been full of work, work, work and seriousness these past few weeks. I did mention my jaunt off to San Francisco a couple weeks ago to visit MJ (yay!).

Cough, Cars, Computers and other things that start with C?
July 25th, 2009 by pleia2
I’ve finally had some downtime from all these exciting weekend trips, it’s been quite nice and I’ve had lots of time to catch up on local stuff! Last week I finally saw a doctor again about my never-ending cough. It started a few years ago, this lingering cough that lasted through the winter, usually went […]
