Another Day in Suzhou

We spent the day in Suzhou today and had a great time. The pictures are here.

Summer Birthday Party

Pictures from the combined summer party (Bob's birthday, Andy's one month birthday, Bob and Emmy's anniversary, and both of Emmy's parents' birthdays) have been posted here.

Off to the Printers

We gave a CDROM of the cover artwork and PDF file to the printer today for the FreeBSD Handbook 3rd Edition (Volume 2)

British Student Visa Procured in Shanghai

I picked up my visa from the British
Consulate. I can enter and leave as I please until January 2006. My friend ZHU Jia happened to be there picking up passports for some chinese students to study in Britain for the school she works for. Next we need to apply for DeDe's visa, which will be more difficult since she wants to be allowed to work.

Doored on my bike!

I was doored pretty hard today while riding my bike to the Zhong Shan Park metro station. Some girl opened up her car door at the last minute, which caught my bike, and I went flying over the handlebars. My bike is still rideable but needs some repairs. I'm sore but mobile. Please look before you open a door on a road filled with cyclists.

2002-2003 Pictures Indexed

The pictures from 2002 (Germany,
Italy, and
Taiwan) and 2003 (Colorado, Hawaii, and Pasadena) have been indexed. This means that individual pictures from these albums now show up in the By Subject list.

Pictures from Christian's Visit to Shanghai

I've posted many of Christian's pictures online here, including pics from Suzhou, Shanghai, Hangzhou,
Mao Ming Lu, and more Shanghai.

Oxford Accomodation

We've been offerred a 2-bedroom house at Court Place Gardens for £ 469.55 per month from
24 September 2004 to 31 July 2005. Looks good so far.

Dinner and Drinks in Shanghai

Saturday night we went out for a nice dinner with Bob and Emmy and then went out for drinks on Maoming Lu. On Sunday LI Dong and ZHU Jia took DeDe and I shopping and then for dinner. Pictures are here.

Pictures from Language School Party & FreeBSD Meeting

I posted the pictures from this past weekend; a party put on by my language school and then a dinner meeting with the FreeBSD China group.

Subject Index of Photos

A subject directory is now automatically generated for the photo albums, so that you can easily see all pictures of
a person or subject throughout the whole site from one index. Only the albums from 1998-2001 have been indexed at this time.

FreeBSD Handbook Nearly Ready for Printer

The FreeBSD Handbook will hopefully go off to the printer within 2 weeks.

British Consular Officers in Shanghai

The British Consular Officers in Shanghai are still being jerks. They accepted by application for a student visa but intimated I was a liar, made fun of my name, and otherwise made things difficult.

Older 1998-2000 Travel Photos Posted

I posted several older photo albums from 1998 - 2000 today.
