Malaysia Time
It is 6pm PST, I am back in California, yet I am still operating on Malay Time. My brain says it’s 9am Saturday morning. I feel a little dizzy. I was only able to get about 3 and a half hours of sleep early this morning. For some reason I just can’t shake the jet lag. I’m sure it’ll get better after the iX company picnic tomorrow. 
Malay Time is the term we used on our trip to describe the laid back and relaxed manner in which the Malay people operate. I found it to be nice at times, but also frustrating when trying to get something done quickly. Everything thing was done with care and much attention to detail, which caused simple activities like ordering a burger or checking in/out of the Hotel to take much longer than expected.
We joked all week about Malay Time, and how it’s even more laid back in Hawaii. It made for a nice relaxing trip, for most of us 
.
Overall, my experience in Malaysia was a positive one. I loved the food, which is good, because they eat about 5 times a day, minimum. The portions for drinks were on the light side, but being an overweight American male, I let it slide. The people were wonderful, welcoming, and quick to make friends. We took a lot of pictures and videos, so I will be posting more stories of my trip as my jet lag wears off. Stay tuned.

Great pix, James! Haha, that’s ironic that ISC, a customer of iX, won the server! PERFECT

I would have to completely disagree with what you say how good PC-BSD is. And for the record, I do not use Linux, I do not have Linux installed on any systems. With the code they develop on top of FreeBSD for PC-BSD has consistency issue, and just don’t think they pay close enough attention to code correctness, I think it gets sluggish. Although my first choice is always to use OpenBSD on everything, I have set up FreeBSD as a desktop system. All I do is select minimal install, populate ports and source, patch the system, compile KDE4 from ports, and I find everything runs better and quicker that way. Once Firefox has been compiled from ports, I have seen it load instantaneously when you select it from KMenu. With PCBSD being developed for people who don’t know any tech stuff, and their own lack of proper auditing of code in the manner of say OpenBSD, I see definite performance issues, and some speed issues. I think it just gets bogged down. So that is why I would definitely disagree with what you say about how good PC-BSD is.
