Well, here we are at ConChord

or rather, at the hotel it's presumably going to be in tomorrow. So far we haven't seen any other filkers. We're in room 331, by the way. Next step (tomorrow morning) is to configure my Linux box as a router, so we can have all three computers running. Knew I should have brought a router.

Geeking at the con

Nothing starts at ConChord until at least noon. The kids are swimming.

The Linux box is now happily routing -- good thing I brought a spare ethernet card and a switch. The key to resetting the DHCP lease seems to be power-cycling the interface box. Next time I'll bring one of the little airlink wireless routers. And a decent keyboard.

Eventually, like before the next trip or con, I ought to put together a set of config files to turn this laptop into an actual, useable router for situations like this. (And of course I could then use it on other machines at home and elsewhere -- seems like a useful thing to be able to do.)
