We just spent most



We just spent most of the afternoon jumping through some INS medical hoops. After having our bits and bobs poked by a aging russian physician we had to go for some blood tests and a chest x-ray. We got out of most of the vacination stuff, but I have to go get some shots for mumps, measles, rubella and chicken pox.

Michael Olson, the CEO of Sleepycat, where I now work, just an online interview. There's a good potted history of how Sleepycat starrted, and what it's all about. My marginal involvement was that I worked for the Netscape team that helped Sleepcat get started.

Monday was work work work.

We had a quite weekend. Bit of Yoga on Saturday. First session for a long long time. And it hurt. Later Sam cooked a lamb tagine with cous cous, which was very nice, and I might be having some of that for lunch today. We watched Mr. T and the Women, which was pretty dull. Not much going on Sunday either. Sam fitted a spedometer to her bike and we cycled up to the Prolific Oven in Palo Alto. Five miles to Palo Alto, one eclaire and a rum ball, five miles back to Mountain View. Net +200 calories. Sunday evening we watched Lost Horizon (1937). Sam didn't like it much, but there was somthing about it that I really liked. Some of the footage has been lost, but the sound trrack is intact, so the missing images are replaced with stills.

Agh, I've let a backlog build up again!
