Technicon 24 Sunday
April 1st, 2007
I woke up marveling at the fact that, after the lengthy whirlwind of a day I’d jumped into yesterday, I felt clear-headed and painless. It took me only about 15 minutes to repack my laptop and overnight bag – I hadn’t had the time to pack anything more than that on the way out from Norfolk. I went to kathleenroberts and jameshroberts‘ room to recover my corkscrew I’d left last night… then back 20 minutes later to recover the laptop bag I’d forgotten after retrieving the previous item. (Clear-headed, yes. Fully cognizant of my surroundings, no.)
I got to talk to vileone for a while about the LARP I didn’t manage to attend, then turned in my White Elephant contributions (someone set up us the bomb!) a little late. I hope they sold – I didn’t have time to stay and see. Then I spent at least half an hour chatting with rattrap – he gave me some keen Xmas presents! jsciv dropped in for the tail end of that conversation – at this point, I was wishing I’d had another day of con to spend, as I had *not* had the time I wanted to catch up and chat with everyone!
12:30 arrived, and I gave shrewlet a hug and reluctantly hit the road – I was planning a Roanoke stop that would add 2 more hours to my driving time. But I remained buzzed for the next whole day – heck, it still hasn’t worn off completely. To repeat myself: Technicon was awesome, my friends rock, and I absolutely cannot wait for next year!
Sparks and steam
Elfie’s mailserver appears to be non-functional at the moment.
Phooey on the timing of mischevious gods – I’m not in the mailserver at work yet, so I’ve been using Elfie for work correspondence.
Edit: 0900 Friday, yay, it’s working.
Edit: 0947 Friday, ooops, no it tisn’t.
Edit: 1427 Friday, yes, yes it is.
