I’ve been back from Indonesia (central Java) for about a week and a half now and I’m finally getting back into the swing of things. I had internet access at times in Indonesia but I was too engrossed in what I was doing to bother blogging so sorry for the wait (don’t suppose you were [...]

The boy and I visited the Australian National Aviation Museum today. They have a considerable amount of aviation history packed into a fairly small amount of space. I tend to whip round things like this taking photos but it still took me two hours. If aviation is your thing its worth the price of entry. [...]

They say the best way to get to know a place is to live there. Or if you don’t have that sort of time get a local to show you around. Helsinki (Finland), a city I have visited a couple of times in my past, have come up with a novel new way for tourist [...]

My last day in San Francisco. I can honestly say its been a fantastic experience and I have really enjoyed this gorgeous city.

14/1/06 – 23:59
The conference over it was time to get back to some serious sight seeing. The only problem being rain so I decreed it Museum day and headed for the Asian Art Museum. Considered to be one of the largest museums in the western world dedicated to Asian art it was equally fascinating from the point [...]

San Francisco Diary Day Six – MacIT Sarts in Earnest
12/1/06 – 23:59
This was my first actual full day at the MacIT conference. Most of the sessions I attended were on subject I already new a fair amount about, but one can always learn more and it’s always good to get an idea about whether you’ve been doing things the right or wrong way all these years.

11/1/06 – 23:59
This was supposed to be my first actual day at the MacIT conference but I had signed up to do the Advanced Digital Photography day instead. I had expected to be doing it on Tuesday but fate had dealt me a different hand.
San Francisco Diary Day Four – Cliff Hanger
10/1/06 – 23:59
Pulled up reasonably well after tying it on a bit the night before. Queued for ages to hear Steve Jobs’ key note, in the spill-out room alas (see post entitled “What’s an Intel chip doing in a Mac? A whole lot more than it’s ever done in a PC!†for more info). Amazingly caught up [...]
San Francisco Diary Day Three – Meet the AUC
9/1/06 – 23:59
Cued outside the Moscone Center for twenty minutes or so at about 8:30 am to register for the MacIT conference, exhibition etc. only to discover that there were no events for me to go to this day and that if I had left it till 10am I wouldn’t have had to cue at all.
