Get up at 0400 Friday; final glance at email, get ready, check out and head to Changi Airport in Singapore.
Check in, security and a spot of shopping. Ready to board and depart ontime at 0655 local time.
Fly from Singapore to Hong Kong.
More security, more shopping, spend some time in the United Airlines Lounge. Board and depart ontime for 1240 departure local time.
Fly from Hong Hong to San Francisco. About four hours into the flight we cross the International Date Line.
Arrive in a foggy San Francisco an hour early – at around 0730 – Friday morning. Miss the early flight to SLC.
More security. No shopping. Collapse in the United Lounge. Get on my flight for Salt Lake City ontime at 1100.
Arrive home at just after 1300. Still Friday.

.. or blame the jetlag?
I left my (actually Grania’s) camera in the restuarant last night.
Anywhere else and there would be zero sight of it again; lifted and sold on eBay.
In Singapore a totally different experience; one phonecall last night – “Yes – we have your camera”; I walked in this evening and the camera was waiting for me.
The local team told me that this was the ‘norm’ and Singaporeans are very honest. Well – it saved me getting in trouble when I got home!

I’m in delightful Singapore this week; with good, fast local internet access.
The trouble is that all of the content I need is in the US.
The graph from Ping Plotter tells it all. Locally little latency. The trans-pacific hop adds 200ms to each packet.
The bandwidth itself isn’t bad; just the latency.

Post 2 of many in the next 100 days – talking about ZENworks.
Ah – time to travel home from Düsseldorf. Up early and to the airport.
It’s great seeing your product in use. Lufthansa check-in desks are powered by NAL. Check-in agent logs in, up pops NAL and all of the applications.
I’m travelling United from Chicago to Salt Lake City – and United are also a ZENworks customers.
Take a look next time you fly. You might be having your check-in made possible by ZENworks.
