Almost Live from Provo I am currently in Provo, Utah, attending the Novell TTP Conference.  A description of the conference can be found here.  I am staying at the Hampton Inn Provo.  Our sessions begin in about an hour Mountain Time, and I am just getting ready to pack some things in my laptop bag.  The new Southwest Terminal--Terminal A--at BWI is quite nice.  I have also given up on trying to guess what the TSA Agents are going to make me do at the security checkpoint.  Yesterday, they made me take my sandals off to run them through the x-ray machine.  They were Teva sandals.  They contain no metal.  I surrender to the TSA.  The flight was uneventful, and I had a stopover in Chicago on my way out.  The only other inconveniences I encountered was my laptop battery died on my while watching my Netflix Kill Bill, Vol. 2 and a rather unhappy young child boarded in Chicago.  All in all, though, I arrived safe and sound.  The reception dinner was actually quite good.  Thankfully, some of the good beer that actually exists in the heart of Mormon country was there.  It was good to catch up with some folks I have not seen in some time.  Hopefully, my camera's batteries do not die on me today.  There are some beautiful mountains nearby, and they would make a great subject for some photos.  Updates sporadically.  The wireless here is not completely up to snuff.  Time to run to my opening session.  9:55:46 AM    comment []  trackback []
