da: A smiling human with short hair, head tilted a bit to the right. It's black and white with a neutral background. You can't tell if the white in the hair is due to lighting, or maybe it's white hair! (Default)

I'm gonna get a postcard.

From Antarctica.

From this guy, who turns out to be a friend of friends in Perl programming circles. He's a programmer and sysadmin for the Halley Research Station. And he's actually in Antarctica. I'm chuffed.

[livejournal.com profile] alex_at_halley is a feed of his blog (minus the photos, unfortunately, which I think are the best part; but it will tell you when his site updates, at least).

I mean, how many of those people can there possibly be??!

I sure don't know how many sysadmins there are in Antarctica- but there are over 248 Americans and 39 Brits in the wintertime, spread among 3 and 2 bases respectively. I don't know how much cross-talk there is between bases. But yeah, I bet there is some.

They're on crazy different time-zones, all with 15-hour days. :)
