Done yesterday (20100126 Tu)

( raw notes )

Not a whole lot done yesterday. Calm, but not especially productive. No walk, no exercise.

Made my room reservations for Consonance and Norwescon. The con hotel for the latter is sold out (well, the con's room block and all the accessible rooms are sold out); I got a room at the nearby Hilton that the con specified as the alternate. Grump. Well, I know who to blame for that screw-up: me and my procrastination.

Dusted off the XO and upgraded it to the latest stable build. Painless. The trackpad is very flaky, and various attempts to recalibrate it were unsuccessful, so it will probably require disassembling the bottom and re-seating the cable. I'll pack a mouse just in case.

Attempts to install the Sugar desktop on my Debian desktop machine were similarly unsuccessful -- some parts appear to be incompatible with Gnome -- but that's a lot less important. Will try the USB bootable version at some point.

Travels with Plink et. al.: Itinerary

So here, for any who want/need to know our wherabouts for the next few days, is our itinerary:

Flying Southwest Airlines:

	#94 	Depart San Jose, CA (SJC)	5:30 PM
	Arrive in Seattle/Tacoma, WA (SEA)   	7:40 PM

    Tuesday, February 2, 2010  Travel Time 2 h 10 m (Nonstop)
    #188 	Depart Seattle/Tacoma, WA (SEA)	7:00 PM
  	Arrive in San Jose, CA (SJC) 	  	9:10 PM

I have the vague feeling I may have told some people we'd be getting in at 9pm. Mind like a steel... colander.

See some of you at Conflikt!!!
