well,
haven't had time to look at lj much since Friday.  We've been crazy busy taking advantage of Doors Open on Sat and Sunday.   Basically, public access to a lot of sites around the city where you can't normally go.  We had a list.  I think we covered most of the big parts on Saturday - to the point of exhaustion.   But due to a glitch with the ( Read more... )

first of all, an update about How it Went Last week with my friend from High School:  
FANTASTIC.

First up:   FIDO - a Canadian zombie movie.  (link to the wiki). 
Now I have to admit to a pretty big bias against Canadian commercial movies (English ones anyway).  Growing up, Canadian productions, meant Hollywood-alike movies ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in on a 2 hour conf call.  Not by choice.   I know things are going to sour when I have to run translations for our admin.  The admin (from pakistan) and the customer (russian) both speak english very well... but they don't seem to be able to understand each other.  We've been working with this cust. since January.  Actually, we've been ( Read more... )
