Zanak: October 2007
http://zanak.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
There are some real people in the world, and some who are pretend. A long time ago). Tuesday, October 30, 2007. We had a 5.2 magnitude earthquake nearby this evening. It was pretty scary, the whole building shook and wobbled a lot. Some of my CDs and DVDs fell over. This was the largest tremor I've experienced in two and a half years of living in an earthquake zone. Retirement at 16, why were we so earnest? The second exercise was much more ambitions, we were supposed to make our own TV programme. Th...

Zanak: Sad Halloween
http://zanak.blogspot.com/2008/10/sad-halloween.html
There are some real people in the world, and some who are pretend. A long time ago). Thursday, October 30, 2008. I can't really understand quite why Halloween is such a big deal here in the US. When we were in a Diner in San Francisco on September 30 they were already putting up the Halloween decorations. Wells Fargo (local bank) was full of fake plastic spiders and scary signs, "Fear here", etc. Actually I think that Banks are scary enough just now without the fake spiders. View my complete profile.

Zanak: Bang
http://zanak.blogspot.com/2008/10/bang.html
There are some real people in the world, and some who are pretend. A long time ago). Thursday, October 23, 2008. I had to get into Sun's office in Menlo Park on Tuesday, I'm glad it was not Wednesday instead. This area of Interstate 880 is just down the road from where we live, a car swerved into a tanker and the tanker fell over and blew up. Amazingly, the tanker driver was able to walk away and no one was hurt. Unfortunately the road was closed most of the day, causing traffic chaos in the area. A shor...

Zanak: December 2007
http://zanak.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
There are some real people in the world, and some who are pretend. A long time ago). Monday, December 17, 2007. OK so I have not managed many posts about my life in the USA for a while, but I have made a movie. This was my weekend - Friday 14th December to Sunday 16th December. Made on a JVC Eviro video camera, a Sony Ericsson camera phone and (mainly) a Leica d Lux 3 compact camera. Edited on a Macbook Pro using iMovie 08. Saturday, December 8, 2007. I am suffering from being another year older.

Zanak: March 2008
http://zanak.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
There are some real people in the world, and some who are pretend. A long time ago). Thursday, March 13, 2008. I'm back in Bangalore this week, we came here on Singapore Air, who tend to be a class above the normal economy class airlines. We stopped off via Hong Kong, where the first thing I saw when I left the plane was an advert for the Royal Bank of Scotland. Happily, although we were the only western looking people in the area, no one seemed to pay any particular attention to us. My New Music. ww...

Zanak: Reflections on a setting Sun
http://zanak.blogspot.com/2009/07/reflections-on-setting-sun.html
There are some real people in the world, and some who are pretend. A long time ago). Friday, July 3, 2009. Reflections on a setting Sun. It became a custom for a while for people, when they got let go by Sun, to send an e-mail to "All Sun", to say goodbye, prefaced by the words "please delete if you don't know me". Happily, the "all Sun" alias is a lot more controlled now, as with the amount of people leaving now, we would not be doing anything else than reading peoples last thoughts about Sun. Has darke...

Zanak: Becoming dangerously obsessed with Open Source whilst the Sun sets (my first blog post written entirely in Opensource)
http://zanak.blogspot.com/2009/06/becoming-dangerously-obsessed-with-open.html
There are some real people in the world, and some who are pretend. A long time ago). Friday, June 5, 2009. Becoming dangerously obsessed with Open Source whilst the Sun sets (my first blog post written entirely in Opensource). Well an awful lot has happened since I last posted here. Having worked full time since the age of 19, some 23 years ago, I'm currently in a period of my working life that I think I'll look back on as one of the strangest. I got a Sun provided laptop around 2004 and it was a dual bo...

Zanak: February 2008
http://zanak.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
There are some real people in the world, and some who are pretend. A long time ago). Sunday, February 17, 2008. Yes, this is really February. We had one of those wonderful weekends last week in Santa Barbara. As you can see, the weather was wonderful. A real Californian experience, on the beach, and only early February! Having been distracted by my new Nikon SLR, I'm now back to using my Leica more again and I think this photo set is pretty superb. Scotty even has hair. Sunday, February 3, 2008. Lara and...

Zanak: September 2008
http://zanak.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
There are some real people in the world, and some who are pretend. A long time ago). Tuesday, September 30, 2008. We went to see Peter Hammill in a (not very) glorified Restaurant. The venue seemed promising from the website, but I had reckoned without how different things can be in America. For those of you outside of America, this means, buy my drinks and give me a tip! Now I'm 41 and Peter is 61! Saturday, September 27, 2008. Here I am in Singapore and I'm staying in the hugely large Stanford Hotel...
