Short Form: I've Been Busy

I have been in Israel since last Saturday on business. Saturday, I spent readjusting to the time zone. Sunday is the first work-day of the week in Israel, and I got everything set up and the gnarliest part accomplished right off. Monday, we exposed parts of the code we'd never seen before because it depended on their hardware, so we did some debugging; I worked so late, my coworker had to abandon me and I got a ride back to the hotel in a taxi (paid by our host company). Today, both my coworker and I worked late, so once again I got back to the hotel after dark.

They say Israel is lovely. I haven't seen it yet. I hope to walk the Ba'hai Gardens tomorrow evening, if I can manage to get back to the hotel before sunset.

I also haven't eaten in the evenings yet: breakfast in the hotel is huge and full of yummy vegetables (such as cucumber-tomato salad), and lunch is in the host company's cafeteria (and paid by the hosts). So I literally have spent nothing on food, and am not going hungry at all.

I have two more critical pieces of functionality to get working in the next two days. I am very confident about that.

But in the back of my mind, I keep thinking that I ought to see some of the country while I'm here.
