At last, a major conference in the city where I live (Canberra, Australia)! No 12hr flights, no cramped seats only big enough for midgets, no 10 levels of security, no taking my shoes off to be sniffed, no turning my notebook pc on and off 50 times before I get there (here's a tip.. never travel with 2 notebooks, and here's another, hibernate your pc before you leave.. much quicker than a cold boot!). I always seem to be the last person to board the plane, often just as the pilot is apologising for the delay, telling my fellow travelers that they are just waiting on one late passenger to board..
This time it's a 15 minute drive into the city (ok, and probably a 30 minute search for parking). That I can deal with!
We're exhibiting at Tech Ed, so we might seem a bit scarce on the newsgroups this week, the exhibit area is open very long hours and we're supposed to man the booth the whole time.. I just hope there's a wireless network!
If you are attending, be sure to stop by our booth and say hello.
