the sheep of reason
Aug. 23rd, 2004 12:09 pmI dreamed many things last night, including:
- I rewrote SpamAssassin using a better client/server protocol so that the server was very lightweight.
- I flew to India on a gigantic airliner that included a full restaurant (cafeteria-style), several floors of shopping mall, an entire trade show (the Netscape booth was shut down), six floors of movie theatres showing increasingly erotic films, and a giant walkthrough diorama/amusement park with huge windows that looked out on the actual terrain we were flying over and matched it to the scenery of the rooms.
- Torgo and I sat next to each other in a completely different airplane and brought my cat, who got loose.
How's your Monday goin'?
