I got my train tickets in the mail yesterday for my travel up to Munich. I think that means I have everything that i need for the trip... just need to get it all organized now. It seems so close now! So much to do yet.

It's already hot here... mid 90's today. I'm holding out on turning the a/c on so far... we'll see how that works out. I installed Truecrypt on the laptop. So far so good. Now i just have to decide how inconvenient I want to make it for me... if i want to auto-mount them via a script that I erase when I'm traveling, or what... I suppose it largely depends on how often i boot up. We'll see.
