We woke up at 5:30. I spent some time reading/writing email from the blackberry. It’s nice to stay in touch, but boy is that inefficient. Hopefully in the future we can get some wireless access from the apartment – if we intend for our off-hours to be productive. Otherwise, I want to find some interesting places – seeing Dave walk around in his underwear is only amusing the first time. ;)

Up at 6 and over to Caffee Manya for a hot breakfast. I ordered an omlet (which is scrambled eggs unless you specific something else), potatoes, sausages, and a latte. Dave and I talked about the previous days events and enjoyed watching the people. We arrived at Isilon about 9:30 – the first to arrive. We had a 10 AM interview with Denis, who is a kernel programmer at SWSoft. Andrey considered

The alarm rang at 7, but I didn’t get out of bed until 8:15. The jet lag, lack of sleep, and absythne all caught up with me. I spoke with Eriko while Dave showered. We decided to take a different route to the metro. It wasn’t faster (and possibly was just a tad longer) but it was in the shade - which was nice. We stopped by a bookstore, but it was closed.

Dave woke up at 5 and I woke up at 6. In the morning we goofed off and I called Eriko. She was doing well and Zack visits were very helpful. Dave was superbly pissed as he ruined his shirts in the laundry - or thought so until washed them again. We left the apartment 8:15. We headed towards Aravaskaya which was close to a pedestrian only shopping street that Alex had told us about.

I woke up at 4:30. Moscow is quite north, so there is a lot of daylight. It reminds me of Anchorage as well as that movie ‘Insomnia.’ Dave and I spent some time emailing from our blackberries and talking smack about our Seattle-based co-workers. I ate cereal, yogurt, and a banana for breakfast. We walked to the store to buy some more breakfast food. This was quite painful as my shoes and

The morning started about 4:30 AM with Dave wandering around in his underwear. Desperate to return back to dreamland, I dozed off until about 7:30. I spent the next 30 minutes or so surfing for free wireless and ran across ‘City-Net’ which offered free wireless in 30 minute increments. Dave was unable to receive a signal on his laptop and my signal was very poor. Maybe our next apartment will have better access to what could be a very nice service.
