Travels with Plink and Cthulhu: Grumps and Grins

DFW, 4:52pm: grumps

The oncologist was called away for an emergency, so Colleen's ultrasound was done by a tech who wouldn't tell her anything. I'll keep you posted.

There doesn't appear to be any free net in the terminal: all tmobile. Damned if I'll pay $10 or whatever for less than an hour ten minutes on the net. At least I can charge for free.

8:12pm OVFF: Grins

A really pleasant flight, with a good conversation with my seatmate, Carol, who was heading to an Information Science conference. Gave her a promo copy of CC&S.

About to head downstairs to socialize and maybe even sing.

Promo copy? Like...freebie? Or am I missing the definition again? *sigh* We had a nice dinner here, Karaoke was amusing, and I'm getting better @ singing with my retainers in. Beatles & Nickelback.

Like freebie, yeah. There are two kinds of freebie: gifts, which basically I pay sales tax on because I effectively buy them to give to someone, and promotional copies, which I don't pay sales tax on because they come out of the advertzing budget.

This was a promo copy because she's going to be waving it around and encouraging her colleagues to buy it.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm going to be working on following a potential lead for web development a school-mate of mine pointed me at. Hopefully may get something done.
