No, I'm not taking an extended vacation -- I wish.
I'm leaving this evening for a swing through ANZ (Australia and New Zealand) next week, and I'm not sure about my ability to post -- not due to technology limitations, but to brain fatigue.
I guess I had this naive image of a leisurely swing through some colorful spots with a bit of time off to catch the sights. My admin just forwarded my schedule, it's a riot of color codes showing back-to-back time allocations from the time I land to the time I leave.
Now I hope I can take the occasional biology break ;-)

Mate, can you bring me back some vegemite? My stocks are running real low! ;)
Cheers,
Greg.

Thanks, Tony, but as a frequent traveler, I've developed my own little strategy that seems to work well for me.

Hi Chuck,
I was lucky enough to listen to you this morning at Telstra.
It was really enlightening to listen to your thoughts about "the future" and especially about doing things the "smart" way ie: in the network for replication etc.
What I don't see is this vision coming down through the various ranks.
Anyway, it was a real joy to listen.
Cheers!!
