16th May 2003

Weather is a bit sucky today, it’s raining all over the place. Well, at least it’s a Friday and we’re all looking forward to the weekend, not that we’ll be doing much. My wife has her PLAB 2 exams on Monday so we’ll be home, I’ll be reading something or hacking on something or running or cooking or whatever. I try to do most of the cooking on the weekends since Sadia is has to study, and it’s all fun.

I just finished reading Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson last night. It’s a science fiction novel about a virtual reality world called the Metaverse, a hacker who always goes around carrying two samurai swords, and a virus known as Snow Crash. Very deeply thought out novel, and most of Stephenson’s work always is :) Cryptonomicon was very good as well, although it got a bit long sometimes.
