Allright kids, I'm off and running to the land of the rising sun today. Looks like I am going to be in transit for like 12 hours. I dunno about you, but it disturbs me to be in non-places for extended periods of time. Airports, planes, busses, trains. Places where you only are if you are on your way to somewhere else. Always makes me feel a little disconnected from reality. Ah well. I think I'll at least have amodem connection in Japan, so I might update over the next week if anything interesting (read: not related to supercomputers) happens. I'm sure I will be more excited by the time I actually get to the hotel. Until then, it's gonna be a valium and gin soaked day for me. 
Wish me luck.
Wish me luck.
