Travel notes

[mdlbear]

Full-sized coffee filters work just fine in the little hotel coffeemakers. You can often find them under the TV.

Marriott hotels have an odd arrangement where they slide a table -- the right height for typing -- underneath the desk. If I remember to bring a keyboard and mouse, the desk would put a laptop screen at eye level where it belongs, and I wouldn't have to pull the table out as far.

Make an account for the chaoswolf if she forgets to bring her lappie. (Silly wolfling). Show her how to snag her SSH keys and how to navigate our peculiar home network. Why are my kids not geeks?

Geek genes are recessive.

I keep thinking I should tell

chaoswolf that she doesn't need to be your clone. Do I need to tell you, also?

From my not-totally-geeky standpoint, she seems quite competent with computers, just not on your own rarified level. She might even be within reach of your level, given as much time as you yourself have taken to get there, but I doubt this will happen, as it doesn't seem to hold her interest as much, EXCEPT as a desire to please you.

:-p. Sorry, Dad. It's unintentional, but there wasn't room with the XenoFilkia taking up my backpack.

Actually, I know that, and she's quite geeky in her own way. Just not in ways that would make life easier for the household sysadmin.

'sOK, actually. I'll help you set up something to make chaoswolf.org easier to update.
