Going to India

March 8th, 2006

My visa for India arrived today, finally. The whole trip had to be planned on rather short notice (at least for a part-time detailer like me), so it was only Monday last week that I finally had all the paperwork needed for a business visa. My flight is next Monday, so there were only two more working days for it to arrive… but arrive it did, so I’m happy.

I’ll be running a system administration training over there, focussing on our Linux, with some sprinklings of Windows, application software and so on. Can’t say I’m not nervous… normally we split the teaching task between four trainers, this time I’m the only one, so I’ll have to teach lots of things I don’t usually teach and some I don’t even use. But I guess that’s just the way it is… if I don’t know something, I’ll just have to wing it. As the saying goes… “He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches”.

By the way, in case you are a burglar reading my blog to find out when I’m away, so you can break into my house, let me assure you of two things. First of all, the house won’t be deserted while I’m away. And secondly, the only valuables there are my laptop and some other hardware and I’ll be taking those with me for the training, so you’d be pretty disappointed. What, me paranoid? Who told you that…?
