…there is a party celebrating a half century (not out), at Samizdata HQ tonight.
The company was delightful…
…the booze plentiful…
…the gifts were exceedingly creative

On Saturday various Samizdata team members and associates descended upon HQ for copious amounts of wine, chilli and cheese. The party commences. The goddess Elena holds fort. Samizdata’s infamous bar. Tomas Kohl drops in on us from the Czech Republic. China’s hottest export. There’s something important on the computer. Readers of Brian’s blog are surging. The Briffas – Peter Briffa is the purveyor of the fine Public Interest blog. By 3:30am, everyone had fallen asleep apart from the guardian hippo. I am presently doing a littlle travel on (or perhaps off) the Malayan peninsula prior to Christmas in Australia. Right now I am in Penang, and as always there is much to write about, but I do not alas presently have time to write it. So, a few photographs. Also, I shall be back in Singapore from this evening, and I am free on Thursday evening. If we have any Singapore readers who feel like meeting up for a drink, or dinner, or perhaps even some air conditioned indoor prawning, please let me know, preferably by leaving a comment at the end of this post. Do I find it cool that I can look at high resolution satellite images of my current location on a tiny battery operated hand-held device while sitting in a coffee shop in Penang? Hell yes. |
