Today I'm on a day-trip to San Jose, California. I'm guest presenter on the SystemVerilog Assertions seminar organized by our local distributor. I do enjoy this particular function, but I enjoy the weather even more: when I landed at SJC, the temperature was in the low sixties, it was hazy, and the air was deliciously moist (without exaggeration you typically encounter in Florida).
I also took the opportunity to use Light Rail (sophisticated name for fast train) to get from the airport to the seminar location in Sunnyvale - trams are yet another thing popular in Europe that I'm missing in the USA, especially in Vegas valley.
Alas, everything that is nice has to end eventually, so I'll be jumping on a flight back to Las Vegas this afternoon. Well, at least I will have a nice dring while on board of the plane...
I have also realized this morning while getting to the airport that it is only one week left till election! It means that I have to survive just one week of stupid election commercials and I'll be free...
Good luck to all of you!

Not a whiner at all...
If you followed some of my summer blog entries you could think I'm a whiner: constant complaints about hot weather. Here's the proof that it is not true - I love fall weather we currently have! This weekend temperatures were in the eighties (around 30 in Celsius), there was sun, but also some clouds, some wind and even some rain - I adore diversity...
I should also enjoy some time when I do not have to travel for work: maybe I will use this opportunity and go to San Diego for a weekend? I'm big fan of this city.
On technical front: Microsoft apparently released newer version of Vista Service Pack 1 that no longer objects something on my notebook. As the result I'm preparing for the update: as I write this message, file backup is running; system backup completed earlier. When they are done, I will probably no longer need them and update will be smooth, but I would never risk major system update without backup. Of course I'm going to keep today's backups as an archive - I already have brand new USB drive to backup system after update.
Sweet dreams to you all!
