I am at The KM world intranets conference now. Skipped the google adaptive path guy web 2 speech for one on network metrics. I found it interesting but am amazed at how product centric it was.

Got a free ipod for signing up early. Ipod number three. The new washing machine hasn't eaten one yet.

So here I am at this big fancy corporate intranet conference and the graphic on the back of the program show an intranet on mac os 9 explorer. Low design budget? Things that make you go hm.

So I got to (e:twisted)'s house safely. I thought I was supposed to be staying at the Marriot but when I called they nor the Hilton at the event have a reservation for me and they are booked. At least I know someone here. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I took a bus there and then they didn't have reservations. Maybe I was supposed to make the reservations. Either way, at least I somewhere to stay and a way to the event.

Wish me luck.

Check your fucking shit so the rest of us don't have to wait twenty minutes to get out.

We landed. As long as we don't have a teneride experience, I am safe.

P.S. Star Trek is cooler than star was according to wired magazine and I love sky mall. PMT need locators.

I am at the airport waiting to fly off the San Francisco. Believe itor not I only brought one school sized backback, wired magazine, and a book on java. Notice the stark lack of computer in there. It seems like everyone else has a laptop.

I guess I didn't want to subject the vaio to risk of loss or damage and I definitely do not want to play on the computer while I am there. I figure, if I don't have it at the conference I will be focred to pay attention (to my phone, lol) No just kidding I am excited about the conference and am curious If I can really make it a week without programming.

I suppose having the phone is kind of like cheating since in essence it is a mini laptop and fully networked. Maybe I will just ssh in and play on the server while I am sitting here. Oka, no I instead will read the java book.

I am kind of sad that I am leaving. I really don't like leaving my house very much anymore. Maybe I picked that up from (e:matthew) as I used to travel wuite a bit.

Oh wait, I know what happed, it was the freakin terrorists. In my book they won because I am terrified of flying now. I would be much more excited about a train trip to California but I suppose all my days would be on the train.

See you soon (e:twisted) and (e:iriesara)
