the center cannot hold. unless i have a very productive few days

so, tuesday, i found out that i'm definitely going to india and booked tickets. i leave weds. as in next weds.

i've been running around like a madwoman doing work-related stuff (network diagrams, starting to build configs to drop on equipment on the far side, etc) and non-work-related stuff (dealing with the computer issue (rebuilding a new host) and finishing up all the vaccinations and such that i need and getting my drugs and supplies for the trip). it's fun to be intensely busy, but it's ... well... busy.
