Premature Optimization

A small fact I’ve learned today about server farm cooling: In Finland, they don’t cool server rooms.

They just ventilate, or open a window.

Thanks to the miracle of Wifi, I can share the fact that I’m stuck in London Heathrow airport, waiting for my flight back home. It’s crazy as hell in here. It takes something like an hour just to get into the terminal, not to mention check-in and board.

My first leg to Frankfurt should have left an hour ago, and will probably delay at least an hour more.  This of course meens I will miss my connection to Tel-Aviv.

Anybody knows a good bench in the Frankfurt Main airport?

Just safely got through my first day in London.

It’s gray and rainy, and people are driving on the wrong side of the road. I almost got myself killed twice. But you just gotta love the British lingo, with words like “quid”, “bugger”  and “tosser”. People are actually using these words

I’ll be spending the entire week here, and fly back home on Friday night. Hopefully I’ll have some time to do some sightseeing, and if I will, I’ll post the pictures.

Happy Hanuka! (although it’s kind of merry Christmas here…)
