Well, I arrived back in the Philippines this morning (local time). It’s a thirteen hour flight. It’s funny, but I’ve actually come to like the time in-flight, for the most part. The last few hours can be a drag, but the first nine or ten go by fast.
One thing I’ve found is that I have very little urge to work. My Powerbook’s battery life isn’t up to the job, but that’s not the reason. Sure, the seats are cramped, but that’s not the reason.
Flight time is dedicated to finishing whatever book I’m working on, listening to music, and just generally thinking about things. It’s a time of refreshment, a kind of semi-vertical form of sleep where my eyes are open and my thoughts run wild.
At least, it is in best case. More than once I’ve been on an Airbus with bad air flow. Not a pleasant experience, believe me.
Anyway, more articles to come now that I’m here. I tend to get a lot more time for Palm work here. I’m not sure what impact changing the time zone will have, but I’ll probably do that as well.
