]]> Comment on Hong Kong Airport by a-giâu http://adriankok.wordpress.com/2005/07/09/hong-kong-airport/#comment-7 a-giâu Tue, 10 Jan 2006 07:16:48 +0000 http://journal.adriankok.org/index.php/archives/2005/07/09/hong-kong-airport/#comment-7 I was at the HKIA just this morning. Alas, I looked everywhere for power outlets (I looked around the plants, too) and the only ones I could find were intended for the cleaning crew. Some were built into the floor, beneath loose tiles, but in the middle of the floor. I didn't see anyone plugged in (only a couple people with portable electricity to spare and that wasn't nearly enough to last through the night). I would have paid for electricity, too, if it had been offered at a reasonable price, but apparently no one was selling. Of course, I could have paid for business class and signed up for the exclusive airline clubs and be offered sleek workstations, Oriental Wrist Massages, what have you. But that's so...old-fashioned, like public restrooms in some countries where you had to buy tissues from an old lady seated at the entrance.... I was at the HKIA just this morning.

I'm interested. What's the perl script you use to copy IPTC info into the coppermine database?? Is this something you've written yourself, or is it publicly available?

Norton Antivirus claims that this file is safe. I'm guessing its probably a false alarm, but who knows? I could be a virus carrier - may crash my system when I open that file again in 20 years.
