YAPC::Asia 2007 is over

I was a bit scared of too many English talks in the conference. But apparently it was ok. Or maybe the people not ok with that are just silent…- nipotan, Yappo and MJD’s Lightning Talks were awesome.- Live interpretation for Ben’s talk was fun.- I just started writing my slides this morning 4am and finished it 2pm, which is one hour before my actual session. It was probably too much details but it was fun.- Lots of funny talks in the dinner tonight with Jesse and Ingy.- Hackathon this weekend!- Tons of thanks to staff and voluntary people of YAPC::Asia. It feels like magic that when I came to the venue yesterday morning and everything was almost setup and the volunteer people worked as receptionists and everything else so flawlessly. Awesome.

In-flight entertainment

I checked on ANA site which movies are available for the in-flight entertainment on tomorrow’s flight and apparently there are: Pursuit of Happyness, Dreamgirls, Casino Royale, Happy Feet etc. I saw most of them, so now I’m trying to copy some from my ext. HDD to the laptop.

The Ataris and Blackpool Lights @ Slim's

This Town’s DisasterWent down to Slim’s for the Ataris with Blackpool Lights Show. I misunderstood the show start time as 9pm, which was actually 8pm. I arrived at the venue on 9pm and it was about to start the second band Blackpool Lights. It was a first time for me to see them live (or even hear their music) but it was really great. As I came back home I purchased their latest album “This Town’s Disaster” from iTunes immediately.

Flight upgraded

Now I got an email notification from ANA mileage saying my seat for 4/1 NH 007 SFO -> NRT is upgraded to Business Class!  The seat was originally in the middle of 4 seats, located in the tail of the aircraft and I was supposed to have 11:30 hours there. Total w00tage.
