Weekend Con-cussion
With vacation time put in, I left Friday morning (after a Thursday detour to BIrmingham) for Atlanta to attend the Friday portion of the Anime Weekend Atlanta convention before and after checking into my hotel room. I enjoyed myself, but I think a combination of travel fatigue and stress from work gave me a different perspective of the convention than I should have had. Hopefully next year will be much better. Thankfully running into a couple of Canonical guys at the Fire Iron Grill at the hotel cheered me up a bit. I spent two hours with my Acer Aspire One netbook running a test script for Ubuntu 9.10 and seeing if there were any hardware conflicts. There were a few and I did my first bug reports. It was nice to let my inner computer geek run free for a bit.
Saturday morning came and after breakfast making my way to the Atlanta Linux Fest and got to hang around people of various knowledge levels of Linux. Attended a few panels and took part in a very enjoyable wrap-up. Back to the hotel for a very fun and sociable after party where I made a lot of friends and aquaintences. Definetly planning to go back next year. The one good thing this gave me is that my passion for computers, which had been dormant for a few months, is now back and better than ever. Hopefully giving me some impetus to maneuver towards a job in computers.
