Eternal Truths
Sometimes we need reminders of the eternal truths, just to keep us grounded. For example:
Beautiful women are beguiling,
Checks you write for property tax get cashed immediately (overnight!) while checks the City owes take 16 weeks to show up,
The “right” travel deal NEVER comes along at the right time,
And the most relevant eternal truth, at least regarding this entry (drum roll please),
Car back now
Yay! Car is home now. US$450 later.
What did I get for US$450?
Auto Club, they suck!
Today I brought my car to my friend’s shop for its overdue clutch job. His shop is in South San Francisco, about 16 miles as the crow flies or 23 on the sucky roads of San Francisco.
More Charles Krug
Here’s another pic of the Charles Krug Winery showcasing the greenery of the Napa Valley.
Nice, eh? Especially after it rains…
Crap!
It’s bad enough when your primary mode of transport (motorbike) is not working right. Ignition problems.
But it’s worse when your backup mode of transport (car) craps out. The clutch won’t declutch.
And the repair shop is 15 miles (1.3 hours via local roads) from my house!
Crap!
Hella Upgraded!
So after being up REALLY late last night trying to upgrade my MT installation, I ran into a LOT of bugs. “What kind?” you ask? Well…
Upgraded…
So I’ve upgraded MovableType to 3.15 from 2.66, mostly to combat the massive amounts of comment spam that this site seems to attract.
Charles Krug Vineyard
I was in Napa this past Sunday, having lunch at CIA in St. Helena. Great food lah!
Across the street is the Charles Krug winery that boasts of having the “best white wine in the USA”. Now I wouldn’t know too much about that (I usually drink reds), but the view was nice right after the rain broke.

Not so geeky…
as people think!
