TYLER Interrupted

A belated Merry Chirstmas to everyone!

I'm in wine country, Napa Valley, now. I've been Internet deprived for a few days and I didn't have time to really come online on Christmas Day anyway. Ironically because I'm in the US now, I'm probably the only one in TYLER who can really access our servers here in the US.

That earthquake in Taiwan damaged the undersea cables providing the Internet connection to Singapore. Thank goodness our dear Empress Pumpkin left Taiwan (and she is now safe and sound back in Singapore) just a few days before the quake.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoyed your Christmas! Right now I need to figure out how to get a crate of wine shipped back to Singapore.

Greetings from Fog City

Hi Guys,

Greeting from Fog City, San Francisco. I just touched down about 24 hours ago. Managed to hand over the 90% done intro screen with credits to TY before I left.

First meal here was a really BIG breakfast this morning at Sears fine food(not the department store) on Powell Street off Union Square. The hashbrown was 4 times bigger than the ones we get in Singapore. Breakfast was expensive but then again it's the really nice and nostalgic atmosphere of the place that you're paying for.

I skipped lunch walking about the Pier.

Dinner was at the very nice Fog City Diner. Pricy again but then again I always like to have a good steak for my first dinner in a US city, and it was good.
As for desert:
"It's called the 'Sky High' Lemon Meringue pie.
When you see it you'll know why."


There was a minor tremor just now. Other than that not much else to talk about until after I meet with the VC and the results of the Nokia web2mobile competition. Hope we get into the finals then I have an excuse to fly to LA end of January.

I don't suppose anyone reading this knows a good place where I can get some DVDs in this town?
