More musings from my trip:
- I lost a great post to WordPress
web interface requiring a random re-authentication. I need
to reconfigure Emacs org-mode to get it working with the new
VPS.
- There's a bug in Delta's InFlight
Entertainment (IFE) system I often trigger. I turn the
display off during boarding since all it does is flash
advertising. The IFE kicks in for the safety video, and then
shuts off as it was before departure. Unfortunately, that
means the IFE no longer works unless I can talk the cabin
crew into a reboot, which I doubt I'd do. I miss the travel
map & stats.
- Speaking of the IFE safety video,
Delta's quality seems to drop with each iteration. This "best
of, award show" version is not just bad but a clip show at
that.
- At least Richard Anderson STOPPED
YELLING AT US IN HIS MONOTONE SOUTHERN ACCENT. Now a days,
Mr. Anderson talks to us at a normal volume & even throws
in some inflection. Nice!
- On a big international flight light
mine (MSP - NRT), don't follow the first cattle call to the
gate. Almost always they open up another lane on the other
side of the desk. Get there.
- I hate neck pillows. More
specifically, I hate that people have those giant half fuzzy
inner-tubes around their necks. Throw in a pair of
over-the-ear headphones and eye shades also around the neck
and you hit the trifecta!
- I LOVE Internet over the ocean!
Well done, GoGo!
- There's a woman sitting behind me
who is loving the show she's watching. I hear her laughing
every 5 minutes or so.
