On Saturday I headed down to Victory Brewing’s brewpub<\/a> to meet up with the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Perl Mongers<\/a> (ABE.pm) and the Philadelphia Perl Mongers<\/a> (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, I’m a serious lightweight these days!<\/p>\n

I was a bit disappointed by their new revision of the tour, they’ve shortened it a lot, you don’t get to see the bottling line or the warehouse where they ship beer from anymore, bummer. But I hadn’t been to Victory since they renovated, so that was a big surprise. No longer is it a total warehouse-looking place inside, they’ve spruced it up and expanded the dining area considerably (I’d say it’s over twice the size now) and moved the bar. I do kinda miss the old place, but the new feel is cool too. Plus we got to see their spiffy new growler filler<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning I went for a short bike ride. I have to say, I really do like Nessy’s new tires for riding on the road, they aren’t street-bike enough so that I crash upon encountering the slightest debris (of which there is plenty on the roads around here!) or having to go off the road for a bit but they aren’t so heavy and resistant as the giant mountain bike tires I had on it before. Made for a nice, easy ride.<\/p>\n

The rest of the weekend was pretty mellow. I headed down to the King of Prussia mall Sunday afternoon to get a new pink case for my g1 (the other case cracked after I dropped it on the ground at the wedding a couple weeks ago, oops, at least the phone was fine). Snagged some delicious Indian food on Sunday evening before hanging out and hosting a Harry Potter marathon for myself while I dug into some more Exim documentation. I also spoke with my mother for a bit to check in, she was in a car accident last weekend where the car was totaled, but thankfully the only damage to her was a minor break in her left hand (probably from the airbag) and a couple sprained fingers on her right hand. She still needs to see a surgeon for the break, but is otherwise doing fine and only had to take one day off from work.<\/p>\n

I’ve got a pretty quiet week this week, my only real plans are to see if I can drag a friend out for a dinner for his birthday. Next week is another story, starting with Software Freedom Day on Saturday. Then I decided to give another PLUG presentation this upcoming Monday at PLUG West, I’ll be doing my “Expanding Involvement in F\/OSS” talk, which is pretty much the same one I gave earlier this month at PLUG Central but I dropped my s\/Women\/People gag this time. Then I’ve got PLUG into Hive on Thursday the 24th where we are working on a disk imaging server and some LTSP stuff. Then the next day, on Friday, I am wrapping up work early to hop on a plane for a long birthday weekend in San Francisco!<\/p>\n

Now I think I’ll wander off to watch some more House and probably get to bed soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
