The rest of the day went well enough. Some sort of scheme was introduced to try and get the collection of geek types at the meeting to circulate and actually talk to each other. I dunno how effective that will be but the bribe of a free drink might get a few folks to do it. Not being a drinker, I’m probably not going to bother with it.
The really boring stuff for the NANOG meeting should be basically done now. That leaves us to basically get on with the presentations and looting and all the stuff that goes on at NANOG meetings. Should be somewhat interesting.
A bunch of us mobbed a local eatery after today’s proceedings. It was one of those order at the counter type places and we had it lined up out the door onto the street. It was quite entertaining. They handled it well enough, though. The walk over to the place revealed some of the streets of downtown Albuquerque. That was nothing particularly surprising but I do remember commenting that the one street felt claustrophobic; the streets are quite narrow compared to what I’m used to and when you put up a couple of sizable buildings on either side, it makes things feel somewhat close. Still, there really aren’t all that many large buildings.
Well, time to go offline and arrange for some sleeping to prepare for tomorrows sessions.
Sounds like you’re having an interesting time at the conference. Just remember when you’re heading back to Calgary not to take a wrong turn at “Alba-koy-key,” considering you’re starting from there and all. 🙂
I’ve already done the wrong turn at Albuquerque thing. Check back to September of 2005. 🙂
