Monday July 26, 2004 From my vacation, i.e. Las Vegas. It was nice except the temperature there, which was over 110F. We went to see a magic show by David Copperfield, and my wife was lucky enough to be selected to appear on stage and got lost into the thin air. She seemed to be put a seal upon her lips about how she got lost, by being given an autograph from David.
I have avoided to open my inbox till this morning. I expected a couple of hundreds emails were there, but that was not quite right. It turned out to be a couple of thousands :( However, soon I figured out that that was not because of my vacation, but the new virus (a variant of MyDoom) which spread out this morning.
My main machine has Java Desktop System as its OS, so there was no fear that it got affected by that virus, but the problem was the team email address we exposed to the public to solicit comments/questions. Looks like the virus was trying to extract email addresses from major search engines, such as Google, and that's why Google was down this morning as a result of DoS attack. It was kind of irony that Google was down when they announced the share price range for their IPO.
Anyway, I am back on business!

Friday July 16, 2004 Looks like I have to fill in for John at the next Unicode Conference, with Craig at Oracle. I knew that the tutorial sessions are longer than the technical sessions, but I did not know that the longest slot was assigned to our Java i18n tutorial session. I did technical sessions a couple of times, which are 40 minutes long, but I am not sure how we end up filling 2 hour and 40 minutes.
Well, let's forget it for now. Because I am off to Las Vegas!

Tuesday July 13, 2004 In the middle of two vacations
I was back from last week's shutdown, and will be off again next week. Believe it or not, I am going to Las Vegas for the first time in 6 years being here in the Bay Area.
So, I expected this week was calm and quiet, and planned to do some prototyping for the release after Tiger. However, when I got back, things has changed and I ended up fixing a bug for the Tiger release candidate build. You never know what's going to happen...
