It took just about all day to get here and the last hour of the trip was the worst because I had to spend it in a hot airport shuttle, at the mercy of driver with questionable driving skills and the inability to remember fare that we had agreed upon. I checked into the hotel only to find that that internet access is an additional $14.95 per day. Don't they understand? Internet access wants to be free, or at least I want internet access to be free, unless, of course, I am selling internet access in which case I want it to be expensive. Anyhow, I guess I won't be spending much time in the room anyway. The conference goes all day everyday, the birds of a feather sessions don't end until almost midnight, and there is the whole city of San Francisco to be explored.
I'm in Moscone now, waiting to hook up with my co-workers. I haven't seen any familiar faces quite yet. I've got my laptop hooked up to a wall outlet and a nice JAVAONE wireless connection going. I will attempt to keep up this oh so fine quality blogging throughout the event, but I am not making any promises.
