Well, maybe you did. Someone must have. You'll see why it's mildly relevant in a bit.
Anyway, I'm back home now and lagging like crazy. It's almost 08:30 here and I'm wide awake. You may think that's a good thing, but consider that I went to be around 3, got up at 7 and spent about half of that time surfing the web in bed on my laptop, and you can see that I'm going to conk out sometime this afternoon. Thus the whole shifted cycle will repeat itself. Pants.
On the plus side I got to meet my new niece and see the other one again too. They are both so awesome it's unreal.
OK, back on topic. I spent most of yesterday installing various linuces on an old IBM T21 laptop. I went through a lot of distros, trying to find one that worked (long story, may well rant about it soon). Anyway, I went to bed unsuccessful.
And I dreamt. An awesome, stupid, ridiculous dream. I dreamt that I installed an OS on a laptop that, get this, enabled time travel. Not Apple's crappy 'Time Machine' (aka backup to people who don't feel the need to misnomer things). Real, actual time travel. That's right, we don't need new physics, a flux capacitor, or a phone box. We just need those hidden syscalls.
Unfortunately I'm now awake, and while I'd love a time-travelling OS, I'd be happy with one that actually works.
