frequent-flyer points

Today I looked into cashing in frequent flyer points to go to Linux.Conf.Au in Canberra in April, but alas there are no award seats available! What use is a frequent flyer program if you can't book seats 3 months in advance to a non-tourist, but high-volume traffic location?

Cold Snap and Cars

This morning it's 5F (which is -15C). Cold enough to make bare flesh ache. Thankfully we have scarves, coats and gloves. I'm wanting to find a balaklava in the local stores.

Major inconvenience from this was that the driver's side rear door on our car wouldn't shut once opened. The problem self-corrected after driving around with S holding the door closed with the heaters on full-bore for 20 minutes. Hoping that we can swap the car over - this is just too inconvenient. J enjoyed sitting in the front though :-)
