I meant “a” museum in my last post. After an exciting adventure finding the International Tourist Bureau at New Delhi train station, I got very lucky and snagged a 3AC ticket to Agra on the 5:30 a.m. Punjab Mail train. After the requisite rip-off taxi at 4:30 a.m., I hope to be rid of travel-planning-scammers […]
Internet access has been less prolific and less air conditioned than I’d hoped, so far, so this will be in blurb form. I’ll do my best to update my location in identi.ca as frequently as possible, though. My hotel in London was ideally located for the O2 arena and not much else–about 10 minutes’ walk […]
At around 11:30, I got a text message announcing the cancellation of my flight from LaGuardia. I called United and was reassured that the flight was on time before hearing that it was indeed scrubbed. United re-booked me on the next flight out of LGA, which would have delayed my arrival to London by about […]
London tomorrow. Delhi by Friday. Watch this space, where I may or may not get around to blogging. I’ll try to keep identi.ca updated with my whereabouts / transportation info even if I’m too lazy to blog.
This January, I’ll be making it back to Hong Kong for far too short a time. If you’ll cross paths with me, let me know: 4 Jan arrive HKG around 2 p.m. 6 Jan in Macau from early morning and then flying to Kuala Lumpur, overnighting there 7 Jan to Langkawi 8 Jan back to […]
Here’s a package (in .pkg format) I built of Pandoc, subversion r1367 (pre 0.47), for OS X 10.5. I have no experience with making OS X packages, but it works for me. Maybe it will be useful to you. Both files GPLv2+, of course. f7efbd6f3db919141b0140b9921f64e7 Pandoc-r1367-osx.pkg.gz Source tarball (unmodified from the svn): 9cbba4c10011a3beb45d0829079dcbca pandoc-r1367-src.tgz
This review is a little delayed, but I must do my small part in creating a web presence for the scarce non-churrascaria Brazilian food scene in the City. Note: you may also find this listed online as “Bolado Bem.” Note also: it closed :-( (some time before March 6, 2008) I’d previously mentioned Brasilianville in […]
Those of you who have already talked to me since the train ride may be worried that my blog is turning into one about railroad accidents (not the Torts casebook ones, the modern ones). I’ll try to write about some other stuff too. Baltimore was a very nice break for me. I took Greyhound from […]
A lady in a motorized wheelchair—gray-haired, but not too old-looking—zoomed by in front of me, between me and the subway trackbed, faster than I thought those usually go. In retrospect, I’m not sure if she was awake; I didn’t get a look at her face. My friend and I exchanged raised eyebrows. We had gotten […]
On Friday, classes having been moved out of the way, I visited the Cloisters with a friend. It’s very convenient from campus: it’s the last stop uptown of a bus line. Our IDs got us in for free, which was a good price: I’m not sure how I would have felt about paying the suggested […]
