I’m back from a little more than two weeks of relaxing vacation. I didn’t check my work email once, so if you sent me an email @cisco.com, please understand if it takes me a few days to reply:

davej’s recent post reminded me of a story from The Game. The Game, BTW, is a very amusing book about learning to pick up women – if you haven’t read it, I recommend it (even if you’re not single).
Anyway, there’s a scene in the book where Style, our hero who happens to have a shaved head, is at a club, and he has a phenomenally easy time meeting women. Everything is working for him, and he’s feeling great about himself, until just as he leaves, the hostess says, “Aren’t you Moby?â€
But I don’t think anyone is going to mix up davej and Moby.
After a smooth trip and suprisingly faster-than-scheduled trip, I’m safely in Ottawa, ready for the Kernel Summit and OLS. If you see me, say hello (of course I would expect you to do that even if you don’t read my blog).
By the way, the network in my hotel seems to have a broken DNS server that doesn’t respond to AAAA requests. This makes Firefox take forever to do anything, because it tries an IPv6 lookup that has to time out before it finds a site’s regular IPv4 address. However, I discovered the network.dns.disableIPv6 configuration option – setting this to true cured my browsing problems.
