CEC: Ongoing

I plan on pushing updates to this entry as I have things to
say that I don't want to create a new entry for.

10:21--

Relatively back to normal,
on the morning calls as usual.

Still sitting in bed, flex work rocks.

Adding/updating missed and mangled entries.



01:54 Eastern--



Home, poking about a bit
before going to sleep...going to take probably all of the entries I
published and edit them in Nvu to fix the formatting which now that I
have regular, fast and reliable network connectivity are somewhat poor
in appearance.

08:07--



I got 10 minutes of
working internet connection, then people started filing in for todays
general session.


Now, I am stuck again.


07:56--



Ian White's All hands
meeting started at 7:30...It has been a somewhat rushed morning.

06:00--



Ian White has a mandatory
all hands at 07:30.


I should try to hurry over and get some of these updates posted and
photos uploaded.

03:00--



Tried to do some photo
organization and updates...however I fell asleep maybe half way through
looking and I can't bring myself to spend $14.95 for 24 hours of
internet access.

Unfortunately whom ever it
was that had authenticated and left an open AP on the hotel network is
no longer online.

Some good photo ops. and I
think good photos.

Dinner/Party time...I may
try to find a quiet spot and get some updates in.

15:30--



I think I have the photo
of the day...it is almost perfect, maybe I will do some bad editing for
effect.

The daily overview
handout...not so functional


Would be much better if it had both the session and abstract.


Of course the online schedule builder could have been much easier to
use and more helpful.

11:50--



A number of comments have
indicated that SMS has won out in terms of
real time feedback over AIM and Mail...


But I have to say, possibly because we can't keep everyone online with
the rogue SSID networks and a very high density of wireless users.

I would be interested in seeing if we have utilization
numbers.

11:26--



I love geek conferences.
Unfortunately there is not enough time in the
day to see all of the presentations that I would attend.


Unfortunately I don't know if I will have enough time after I get home
to try and listen to the recordings of the other sessions.

09:57--



I have decided that more
comfortable chairs would be nice.


Also they could be wider...or I could try to not use my laptop.


Leg room is OK.

09:26--



Now there are two
non-functional ad-hoc networks, it's like a party.


Only everyone is crying.

08:44--



Ooh WiFi!...only it
appears that DHCP isn't working again.

08:25--



Sigh, trying to upload
some photos, but in case you were not following
along. The WiFi has dropped again, and someone is running a non-AP
network on the same SSID so I keep picking up that network when the
other has problems.

07:45--



Made to breakfast with a
bit of time to spare.


Yummy; soggy eggs and potatoes


The bacon and scone were good.

19:14--



Presentations done, they
went well. I may well post on them seperately.

Done for the day, hungry and tired. Time for food and an early
night.

12:00--



Lunch

11:36--



x4600 is the fastest FP
system in the world...sweet, there are
references for that but I would need to be online.

11:18--



We need to train people to
ask questions more clearly.


Possibly we could create some training for that.

11:13--



Sorry about that, got
online and shoved all the entries up.


I feel like a dirty spammer.
