CFP was fun, at
least the parts I saw of it. Got my business cards at the
party, and they're pretty. Mildly inaccurate, but nothing
fatal -- should only foil the casual caller, since while the
direct number listed is fictional, calling the main number
will eventually get you to me. And do I really want to talk
to a casual caller?
Back from the party
and the Developer
Meeting, both of which were lots of fun. People are
doing cooler stuff with Mozilla than I had imagined. (And
I'm a pretty good imaginer.) I was unpleasantly surprised
to discover that I couldn't use my upgrade certs on the
wacky L-class fare that I had SFO<->YYZ. Even more
unpleasantly surprised than when I realized I needed 2 certs
each way. Coach sucks for long trips, but I got a
bulkhead seat on the way out, and an exit row seat on the
way back. My back has just about stopped aching.
The Hyatt
Regency is a pretty nice hotel, but their ``any
airline'' bonus-miles thing apparently doesn't include my
program of choice, affiliated with
United or not. The Hyatt just
down the road was pretty nice too, according to blizzard, and a little cheaper
to boot.
zab moved to Montreal the other
week. I guess I'll see him tonight, unless I put off my
trip to tomorrow. I'm still on PDT, it
seems, which got me
off to a late start today. Having trouble getting to my
mail right now, though, so maybe I should just hop on a
plane and get onto the
network ASAP. Decisions,
decisions.
Hope we find an apartment as nice as dria's or zab's. I have hope: Ron is
really good.
Came back to discover that I've been getting a fair bit
of fax spam. I should really find out if it's as illegal
here as I think it is. Some of it is coming to the office
voice line, which is just absurd. Are they war
dialing? How do they know that there's a fax machine on
that? Does Bell let them see that it shares a line with the
ident-a-call
for my fax? Mysteries abound.
Bell is still
doing a miserable job of installing the home<->DSLAM
part of my DSL service. My ISP has been supportive, but
their hands are largely tied: when Bell wants to fuck you,
fuck you they will. I should write more about the saga at
some point.
I have not been involved in any ``gender debates'' of
late, but I've been away from home for a while.
More later, I guess.
