Drink service every 90 to 120 minutes or so.\nI was between two very nice women, Jennifer and Gretchen. Both of them were flying with people who had been given upgrades to business class. Jennifer was very friendly, and told me about her children and about her friend, who is an Ex-Pat on year two of her assignment. Gretchen was less sharing, but works for “the University†as some sort of Foreign Programs coordinator.\nI have an iPod, and had loaded several movies on it, so I watched some, but kept having to pause it for interruptions anyway. One of the interruptions occurred when the in-flight movie suddenly shut-off, and both Jennifer and Gretchen commented on how obnoxious it was.\nFirst Meal - another iPod movie on pause. “Our selections for this meal are Steak or Curry Chicken,†on the PA. 20 minutes later (remember, row 60)… only Curry Chicken left. It sort of worked out. There was so much curry smell in the air, the steak would have tasted like curry. It wasn’t bad for airline food, but it wasn’t “good†either.\nOctober 13 Flying Over North East Asia\nOn two of my leg stretching walks around the cabin - I took some pictures out one of the massive exit door windows. One of those - maybe two and a half hours out of landing, I got a picture of what looked like a forest fire, except on what basically looked like dark brown desert.\nI give up on movies after two and a half, and finally decide maybe I’ll try to sleep for real. 10 minutes later, snack time is announced. Chinese noodle bowl (pretty much Ramen Noodles with a few “actual†vegetables). After snack, I tried to snooze a little, and then more in flight movie problems made everyone restless.\nI slept for about 15 minutes. Pure exhaustion.\nMeal two (also lunch). Choices this time was a Turkey and Cheese on a Pretzel roll, or some sort of Chicken and Noodle thing. I got my choice, and … the Turkey and Pretzel roll were fine, but the Cheese was really greasy making the whole meal hard to stomach.\nI slept another 5 minutes - I think - then the descent starts.\n","wordCount":"468","inLanguage":"en","datePublished":"2007-10-14T04:00:00+08:00","dateModified":"2007-10-14T04:00:00+08:00","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Gary Allen Vollink"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://blog.vollink.com/in-china/2007/10/getting-there-is-not-half-the-fun/"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"On My Mind...","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://blog.vollink.com/favicon.ico"}}}</script></head><body id=top><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.body.classList.add("dark"):localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.body.classList.remove("dark"):window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches&&document.body.classList.add("dark")</script><header class=header><nav class=nav><div class=logo><a href=https://blog.vollink.com/ accesskey=h title="Home (Alt + H)"><img src=https://blog.vollink.com/AllenWrench.gif alt=logo aria-label=logo height=35>Home</a>

Gretchen was less sharing, but works for “the University” as some sort of Foreign Programs coordinator.</p><p>I have an iPod, and had loaded several movies on it, so I watched some, but kept having to pause it for interruptions anyway. One of the interruptions occurred when the in-flight movie suddenly shut-off, and both Jennifer and Gretchen commented on how obnoxious it was.</p><p>First Meal - another iPod movie on pause. “Our selections for this meal are Steak or Curry Chicken,” on the PA. 20 minutes later (remember, row 60)… only Curry Chicken left. It sort of worked out. There was so much curry smell in the air, the steak would have tasted like curry. It wasn’t bad for airline food, but it wasn’t “good” either.</p><h2 id=october-13>October 13<a hidden class=anchor aria-hidden=true href=#october-13>#</a></h2><p>Flying Over North East Asia</p><p>On two of my leg stretching walks around the cabin - I took some pictures out one of the massive exit door windows. One of those - maybe two and a half hours out of landing, I got a picture of what looked like a forest fire, except on what basically looked like dark brown desert.</p><p>I give up on movies after two and a half, and finally decide maybe I’ll try to sleep for real. 10 minutes later, snack time is announced. Chinese noodle bowl (pretty much Ramen Noodles with a few “actual” vegetables). After snack, I tried to snooze a little, and then more in flight movie problems made everyone restless.</p><p>I slept for about 15 minutes. Pure exhaustion.</p><p>Meal two (also lunch). Choices this time was a Turkey and Cheese on a Pretzel roll, or some sort of Chicken and Noodle thing. I got my choice, and … the Turkey and Pretzel roll were fine, but the Cheese was really greasy making the whole meal hard to stomach.</p><p>I slept another 5 minutes - I think - then the descent starts.</p></div><footer class=post-footer><ul class=post-tags><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.com/tags/blog/>blog</a></li><li><a href=https://blog.vollink.com/tags/in-china/>in-china</a></li><li><a

class=entry-content><p>TL;DR Is there a way to support display of U+X? How many character blocks will it take to display U+X? Will U+X be displayed in independent multicolor? Introduction I’ve been on a bit of a research kick in Unicode lately, and I’ve long been a C language user, since before UTF-8 became the “winning†encoding for Unicode. I’ve also long been a bit of an enthusiast for Virtual Terminals, especially as I started programming before fully integrated development environments for every language were the default....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2024-11-28 15:45:00 -0400 -0400">28 Nov 2024</span> · 4 min · Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to Virtual Terminal - Missing Functions" href=https://blog.vollink.com/post/2024/11/virt-term-functions/></a></article><article class=post-entry><header class=entry-header><h2>Open Source Does NOT Mean Free</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Corporate Use Restrictions There seems to be a growing trend in Open Source software of adding Terms of Use of a download service to exclude use by businesses (usually defining this as some number of employees, some amount of revenue or both), so that the software itself remains free and open source, but making sure that businesses must pay for the privilage of using the product.
These span a wide swath of methods from very obvious paywalls to deeply obfuscated Terms of Use clauses, and they are dangerous for businesses specifically because some programmer who uses one of these technologies at home on an open source project often won’t think twice about installing the same on a business supplied computer to get their job’s work done…...</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2024-04-03 17:31:21 -0400 -0400">3 Apr 2024</span> · 3 min · Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to Open Source Does NOT Mean Free" href=https://blog.vollink.com/post/2024/04/open-is-not-always-free/></a></article><article class=post-entry><header class=entry-header><h2>Your Terminal Emulator Is Wrong</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Introduction At this point, there are hundreds of graphical terminal emulators out there. Every single one that I have run into pretends like it is some varient of a hardware terminal made by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) from their Video Terminal (VT) line of products, from 1978’s VT100 through 1993’s VT525.
A reader might chime in here and say, no MY TERMINAL thinks it is an xterm, but alas xterm pretends to be a VT420 (xterm can actually pretend it is many different terminals, so even if you DO use THE xterm software I doubt your computer is actually set up to most efficiently talk to it, I’ll talk about that later )....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2023-09-21 21:10:00 -0400 -0400">21 Sep 2023</span> · 10 min · Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to Your Terminal Emulator Is Wrong" href=https://blog.vollink.com/post/2023/09/standards-what-standards/></a></article><article class=post-entry><header class=entry-header><h2>The Anime I Like</h2></header><div class=entry-content><p>Why I Won’t Admit to Liking Anime When talking to someone who likes Anime, the first thing to come up is usually a show like Dragonball Z or Baruto. Some fighting is fine if the story requires it, but I don’t want to watch a single fight that lasts most of an episode. I want story to develop in every episode, not just exposition hidden in re-used fight sequences. At worst, I might stick with something that has a long fight in one or two episodes within a ten plus episode season....</p></div><footer class=entry-footer><span title="2022-08-23 23:41:12 -0400 -0400">23 Aug 2022</span> · 6 min · Gary Allen Vollink</footer><a class=entry-link aria-label="post link to The Anime I Like" href=https://blog.vollink.com/post/2022/08/anime/></a></article><footer class=page-footer><nav class=pagination><a class=next href=https://blog.vollink.com/page/2/>Next »</a></nav></footer></main><footer class=footer><span>© 2024 <a href=https://blog.vollink.com/>On My Mind...</a></span>
