A Quick Update

[bjarvis]

kent4str, rlegters and tdjohnsn are off grazing for breakfast while I'm at the lobby of the convention hotel here in Anaheim, finally caving in to pay $10/day for wireless access.

Why business & institutions still charge for Internet access is beyond me, except of course, that they can.  The infrastructure and volume is cheaper than either water or electricity, but no hotel would consider charging for either of those.  Bastards.

In a short while, we'll begin the second day of caller school here at the IAGSDC convention. I'm not here as an attendee per se, just as a human checker for the callers.  In essence, I get most of the gain of the class without the pain or pressure.  On the flip side, it can be somewhat tedious, especially since these sessions run 9 AM to 8 PM.  Today's session schedule has more interesting topics on the list, but since the instructors may simply jettison the proposed lesson plan because (a) it doesn't meet the students' requirements, or (b) they simply feel like it, who knows what will actually happen.

I'll attempt to write more when I have a bit more time.  Or if the sessions turn out to be really boring.

Wireless, huh? Their crackerjack web site said the Internet access in the rooms was wired so I was all ready to pack my pocket wireless router. Guess I don't need it.

On the other hand, I could bring it and let anyone who wants just come to my room and feed off the network. Not much of a lure though, really, is it?

The Marriott rooms might be wired... I didn't check into that as we're staying at the Cortona Inn next door. I'll ask around.
