So like, London is pretty cool. I'm here for
ApacheCon 2000 Euro
giving a presentation on modsnake.
Lots of cool people here to talk to and meet. The only
unfortunate
thing is that the weather kinda sucks. There is a nice
massage booth, with some nice lookin babes there.
Incredible.. ;-)
So anyway, back to English culture, I've learned about a
variety of
things since I've been here. I've learned about 'snogging',
and
'shagging', what a 'quid' is, and what a 'dodgy mini-cab'
is.
I'd like to talk about superior English technology for a
minute. The common American shower often has either two
knobs -- one for hot, one for cold. Or one do-everything
knob.
Those SUCK. Here, I have 1 knob for temperature,
and
1 knob for water pressure. Isn't this just logical? It
allows me to
turn off the water without getting a cold shower, and hop
into
the shower, without fiddling with the temp! The only beef
that
I have with the showers here is that they are very small!
The bottom of the bathtub is well over the bottom of the
floor, so I am quite elevated, and my head touches the
ceiling. Talk about having a hard time washing one's hair!
Must the that English people are short. (Except Elizabeth
Hurley -- she's so hot)
Enough of this, and back to hacking. Peace
