- My first time flying in this lovely airline. Sometimes you need to take the earliest direct flight back to JFK! This is a 777-300ER, used on Singapore Airlines' fifth freedom route from Frankfort to New York. Beautiful girl.

- Come visit me at the @influxdb.com booth at #HannoverMesse in Hall 14 booth H38. We've got all week to chat #timeseriesdata and give some swag out at the #IIOT event of the year!

- I'd like to know if they have a plan. They don't seem to be doing much except clutching pearls. How involved are they in helping folks keep government jobs for example, which hits our city hard during the time when our major employers are dwindling.
