• Heading home…

  We’re flying back to Boston today from Ireland, so it’s time to sign off. See you on the other side (of the ocean, that is). --Paul Posted Aug 11 2008, 04:29 AM by pthurrott with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Personal, Travel and events

• Trip tech triage: Ireland

  Since I had previously blogged about my travel technology for our home swap this month in Ireland, I thought I'd also share a few related thoughts now that we're leaving. Every time I travel, I try to optimize what I bring across the board. And... Posted Aug 10 2008, 07:00 AM by pthurrott with | with 39 comment(s) Filed under: Personal, Travel and events, Commentary

• Ireland

  So we're going on vacation today, to Ireland. We've been there before, once with the kids, but mostly on the western side of the island.

• Off to Las Vegas

  Well, here I go again. This time to Las Vegas for MIX. I don't think the trip will impact blogging or the site too much, to be honest. See you in Vegas... Posted Mar 04 2008, 04:25 AM by pthurrott with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Personal, Travel and events

• Los Angeles

  I flew to LA today for the Windows Server 2008 launch event tomorrow ("Heroes Happen Here"). I think these photos neatly summarize my day thus far: 5:55 am, Logan Airport, Boston. It's unclear to me why I flew so early today, but my guess... Posted Feb 26 2008, 04:23 PM by pthurrott with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: Personal, Travel and events

• A few notes from the road...

  I've been in London since the end of last week, and we're flying home tomorrow.

• Back from Seattle

  Sorry for being completely incommunicado yesterday: I spent most of the day flying home from Seattle, which was actually a decent experience given what flying's like these days.

• At the reviewer's workshop

  I'm in a Microsoft conference room all day today for the most part, but I should be able to get some "normal" work done as well.
