Hi all! I’m at LHR (London Heathrow Airport) waiting for my connecting flight to Dubai. I’m using some strange Samgsung laptop in a demo booth from which I’ve telneted into sdcc15.ucsd.edu, and from there ssh’ed over to hsrd99.ucsd.edu and using Lynx to update my blog. We’ve been traveling for about 14 hours now, and it’s a 6 hour flight to Dubai. We spend a day or so there before we head to Mumbai. We flew Virgin Atlantic on our way here and are flying Emirates from here to Dubai and Mumbai. Virgin is a very wacky airline, the whole interior was decked out 1970’s-esque, a la Austin Powers. I forgot what it’s like to fly on not the cheapest carriers possible. Thank you mom and dad!
