| I sat down and tried to get comfortable. The seat had more joints than I knew what to do with, and it had a separate button, no two, for each of them. Then it had two macro buttons that scripted the others to do a bunch of high level maneuvers to get to two extremes, and discrete points in between. I played with it a bit. There was a bar. They served Dom Peringon among other things. They brought it to me with nuts. That confused me because half my brain suddenly thought that I was at Yacht. I wasn't. There was a table that slid out from under the television. It was rather large. They came up to me and said, "Sir, may I dress your table?", which always cracks me up. The food was the same old fare, just decorated and served differently. I watched I am Legend, and Italian Job, and I stretched out and slept. Full length, with a large pillow and comfortable blanket. The seat turned into a bed, with sufficient room for all six feet of me to stretch out. I enjoyed a good couple of hours of undisturbed rest. The restroom was large. You could stretch out your arms without hitting the walls. Large half length mirrors that covered the side walls created the impression of a larger room. This was my first time flying international business class. Thanks to my Jet Airways upgrade vouchers, I was able to upgrade from Brussels to Mumbai. I was two vouchers short of an upgrade all the way through. I could really get used to it, but my company isn't going to pay for my personal travel, not business class, not economy. Which means I should either halve the number of flights I take, or double the amount of money I make. I still don't know who's going to pay for me to go to Linux Symposium this year. The conference says they won't pay, and I'm not about to pay $1500 for the right to speak at a conference. Let the attendees read my blog instead. Oh yeah, in other news, just had a four day vacation in New York (Manhattan and Cold Spring), and I'll be working from Mumbai for a week. | ||||||||||
