Made it to San Francisco this afternoon for Linux World. The weather is real nice, about 68 degrees right now.. The hotel is decent, but the wireless seems to be flaky, it’s acting like a linksys router or something.. every minute or so it drops me. I’ve got the same issues in linux and windows with both my broadcom b/g minipci and my orinoco gold.. so im using my orinoco with the externa mag mount antenna.. good thing i brought it, found another access point not owned by the hotel, which provides a much more stable connection, just a weak signal. ...

Day three was good.. I really enjoyed Damian’s talk.. Overall good conference this year.. the University at Buffalo was a great place to host it. They had wireless everywhere, and plenty of places to eat on campus.. Go to tour the supercomputing lab. That was fun. Went to Niagra falls last night, and hopped the bridge to Canada.. Anyways.. I’m in the Buffalo airport, gotta get some food and hop on a place to Cleveland, OH, then to Houston, and I’m home.. ...

YAPC day 2 going on.. I’m listening in on “Advanced Regexs” had a sub for lunch, and two cookies. Uhh thats it for now.. just keeping the site up to date.

Well, I’m here at YAPC 2004. Sitting here on the wireless, listening to the keynotes and Perl upcoming releases speech and such. The hotel SUCKS!! The University Inn, in Buffalo, NY is horrible customer service wise. I got in last night and they said “Hey, you were supposed to be here yesterday, we canceled your reservation.” So they stuck me in a damn sofa bed for the night, and basically told me its my fault. Even though I have a confirmation email stating that my room has been reserved for the 15th and not the 14th!!! These people need a bitch slappin! ...

Shot some Kodak film at the wedding in Austin.

I’m heading out to Austin today for my cousin Scott’s wedding. They’ve got a neat webpage for the whole thing where you can see how they met and details on the wedding.. I need to leave soon because it’s about a two and a half hour drive.. so tata

Courtesy of Phatlowry: A man walks into a bar and yells “Bartender, give me twenty shots of your best single malt scotch!” The bartender pours the shots and the man drinks them down one at a time, as fast as he can. The bartender says “Wow, I never saw anyonebody drink that fast” The man replies by saying, “Well, you’d drink fast if you had what I have” The bartender says “Oh my god, what do you have??!!” ...
