Hello from Austin!
I write this entry from my hotel room in downtown Austin, TX and the drama has already begun!
I am apparently to incompetent to properly pay for a hotel room online, so my personal credit card has been hijacked by the Hilton Corp. Here's hoping it all gets sorted out in the morning (it should). (sigh)
I have sort of "half-connectivity" from my hotel room: I can access the net, but can't use my VPN connection. This is bad, because I am expected to keep tabs on work while I am here, but so far cannot.
This is good, because I am expected to keep tabs on work while I am here, bust so far cannot.
People often refer to Austin as "the Portland of Texas." I have yet to set foot outside my hotel room, but so far, it looks like Minneapolis, as visualized by Mad Max.
None of the Austin blokes I am friendly with will be available to to visit me while I am here. This is a bummer. In the case of one of these, it could be catastrophic. I will report after it has all played out.
As for now? I am about to iron some clothes, take my second shower of the day, and boldly hit the town.
How was the flight? Suffice it to say: Boeing jets are boring, but sturdy!
Love,
Corban
