Novosibirsk - T minus 1 day Wed, 13 Aug 2008 00:51:29 -0400

So tomorrow morning we leave Novosibirsk, Siberia. It's been a lot of fun and have some great memories. I'll try to post some images at some point. Not much else has changed. I've tried to buy some seuvenirs to take back home, however there appears to be a complete lacking of anything that's truely local. Much like the United States it appears that everything here is imported from China. I can't even find post cards!

Anyway I am finishing up packing the bag at the moment and look forward to being back home with my wife and everything that is familiar to me.

  • This is the definitive blog for the musings of Brian Smith. I've been a programmer / sys admin for most of my life. I don't have much to say, I work, I enjoy my family, and every once in awhile I'll dump a little something I want to keep track of here.

    Currently I am the CTO of DNS.com where we provide geolocation based authoritative DNS services for the masses. I also have been working on drafts that are submitted to the IETF to the dnsext working group.

    In the past I have been involved with organizing various user groups, including an off and on again 2600 group. Also I have been involved with the development of Seclude, an open source secure instant messaging platform as well as Sliker, a project that later developed into plasma for the KDE desktop environment.

    Additionally I am an avid home brewer making my own beer. Everything else should be below or to the left.
