KISS day 2
Configuring our 5 machine cluster. Pretty straight forward except we are doing something crazy with LDAP which I’ve never used for a cluster. Wacky, huh? Forgot to take a before picture of breakfast, but it was big with fish and clams. Also some spinach and a nice egg custard, replete with meat.
I grew up eating the standard middle American veggies and only after I moved to NYC for college did I get to try more adventurous foods. My general rule for eating a bunch of unfamiliar foods is try everything. Then eat in order of weirdest (least appetizing) first. that way you end on a high note.
Also this morning I discovered why I detest those day-glo yellow daikon radish pickles. They have saccharine or something in them. blechhh. I’ve been assured that proper traditional daikon pickles don’t have any fake sugar in them.
I’ve been blogging on my iPhone and then uploading via wifi. I connected to NTT once when I took my phone off airplane mode. I received one txt message in that one minute period. Probably the most expensive txt I’ve ever recvd.
One more thing Japanese coffee is sort of like watered down Turkish coffee. No roasted taste, just sort of a hint of coffee flavor. Also in related news about me enjoying the labors of underpaid workers in 3rd world countries, I haven’t had chocolate in 2 days. My skin has lost its greasy pallor, but at what cost!? How will I reintegrate into my corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oil regimen when I return to the US!?
