Howzit!

I just got back from South Africa (last night at 2am). Crazy place, that. It's much easier to drive on the left-hand side of the road than you think. The chief problem is that the wipers and turn signals are switched, so we occasionally indicated our intention to turn by cleaning the windshield. No one seemed to mind, and it was dirty anyway.

My job (bioinformatics programming) there was a little boring, but after a month and a half they decided to pay me. It's depressing how shaky IT/CS education is there. I felt like a disruptive consultant.

I'm not sure when I'm going to Israel, but it will be within three or four weeks. I'll then be there until August of next year. I'll be in Providence by the 3rd or 4th of September.
