Re: [PLUG] Re: Slides from YAPC presentation
This question has crossed 3 lists that I'm on in various forms (datetime, pdx.pm, plug) and probably a few others. Maybe an out of town geek page would be a good idea? I'd volunteer to do it but I count as out of town now. :) Things to list: hotels with connectivity links to the freenode/personaltelco pages a map of powells and powells tech. books the GPS coords of important locations (book stores, hotels, coffee shops, bars..) links to local movie listings - including the McWorldDomination's pages the laser light shows at OMSI anything else that might interest a geek Sound like a good idea? -J -- On Tue, 1 Jul 2003, Paul Heinlein wrote: On Tue, 1 Jul 2003, Roderick A.

I'm open to suggestions of what to do on Sunday, though I won't be getting a car unless provoked. I'm just starting to panic that I am not going to be able to survive with just a P233 notebook with a 56k modem when I am used to a 1.2GHz w/768k DSL. ;~) I've got a bunch of programming I want to accomplish next week and I don't want to be hampered by poor connectivity... Does anyone know if the Marriot's Rooms that Work includes a network connection?

I'm in the same boat - on someone elses dialup. I have a new module to uplad and kinda stuck without connectivety. Starting to considering driving around to looking for freenode aps. Does anyone know if the Marriot's Rooms that Work includes a network connection? I haven't been in one for years but I recall there was a USB/rj45 (yes, USB) interface. -J --

I'm getting in July 5 and not leaving until the 12th (cheaper fares, don't you know ;). I wonder if it would be worthwhile to try and get a BOF together for http://www.lxgmovie.com/ which opens Friday night? Is there a decent movie theatre downtown?

Re: Slides from YAPC presentation
which opens Friday night? Is there a decent movie theatre downtown? Theres several - but wouldn't you rather be in a theater you can drink in? (and has brewery and a distillery on site) This is as far forward as their schedules are posted: http://www.mcmenamins.com/Theaters/?theater=Allviewdate=2003-06-26 -J --
