00:25, less than 4 hours until I have to get up to catch a plane to Portland, Maine. I’ve never been to New England before.
It’s time to meet the in-laws, or at least the potential in-laws of some future scenario unthinkable even a year ago. This should prove very interesting. I wonder what they’ll make of the bloke who pursued their daughter half way across the globe.
I’m looking forward to getting away from the office for a week and leaving all the networking issues of the last ten days behind. It’s been quite a year and it’s not over yet. I could probably use a break away from it all. Everyone needs to recharge every now and again.
I discovered today that the router in San Jose isn’t doing proxy ARP for our corporate LAN. This is causing weird time-out issues. Hopefully, Rob, our networking guy, will get that fixed tomorrow while I’m in the air. I’ll be glad when we’ve got rid of all the Cisco equipment, as it’s been nothing but an unnecessary complication thus far.
Anyway, I should finish packing, shave and get a couple of hours’ sleep before the alarm goes off.
This time tomorrow, I’ll be with Sarah and her family in Maine. No computers to be seen anywhere. Bliss.
