the life and times of endenizen » 2005 » October

Waking up this morning kinda sucked. We stayed up till 2:30 and slept till 5:30, which means we got very little actual sleep. I pretended I was at some overseas conference and I was really tired because of the jet lag. As volunteers, Chris and I ran some cable around the floor into the different conference areas and hung around with the presenters. The actual conferences were pretty cool. I went to see Linux-based High Availability Infrastructures, Building an Open Source Company, Apache: mod_rewrite, Hula, and the best one, Deploying Open Source Software in Schools.

Now the presentations are done, the vendors have packed up and the real fun has started. Notacon is supposedly putting on a major party for all of the attendees with free drinks, loud music, and lots of other stuff.

I think I’ll go check it out.

After a long drive and several times getting horribly turned around cause we aren’t smart enough to read the directions, we finally made it down here safe and sound. We were a little late for the pre-party but we got to meet a few of the presenters for tomorrows big conference down here at the Columbus Ohio Convention Center.

Somehow I figured volunteering would be a good idea so now I have to be down at the coffee machine (not really sure where that is) tomorrow morning at 6am. I guess it’s more like today at 6am. So a little more than 4 hours from now. Oh well. I think I’m crimping cable and moving computers around. And I get a nifty badge and a t-shirt. Here’s Joe showing off the shirt:

And that’s about all I’ve got to say for now. I might post some later tomorrow but it’ll be a pretty busy day… so we’ll see.
