Been working at a startup for the past year. Programmer tools (compiler/assembler, etc) in Ruby, for a weird massively parallel, mostly dataflow machine. Fun and interesting, but leaving little time for blogging anywhere, especially in New Zealand.
Deb and I got to do a quintessentially California weekend a couple of days ago -- the annual lavender festival at Matanzas Vineyard, dinner at the Jack London lodge, wine and cheese tasting both days, and then back to Saratoga Sunday night for a picnic with a fabulous south bay view, and concert at the Mountain Winery.
