Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
Afer a largely uneventful, though delayed, flight, I arrived in Dublin. Immigration was less crowded than usual, the walk from the RyanAir terminal to the main airport building was longer than usual and the arrival of my bags was more prompt than usual. I guess it all averages out in a woefully uninteresting manner though. In a similarly uninteresting vein, Dublin's weather had returned to the bleak grey dampness to which I have become accustomed, leaving my sunglasses to dangle forlornly from my collar.
After topping up my phone and calling one of the ApacheCon organisers to see where best to meet up with them, I did my usual inept dance of trying to exchange all Sterling money on my person for Euro - failing utterly to complete this by the time I had to pay for a bus ticket. I now have an unnerving weight of Euro shrapnel (coins) in my pocket to attempt to get rid of over the next few days.
HEANet are generously providing internet connectivity for the event, but I've been warned that this means there's a collection of wireless APs to be configured and installed. I suspect this will keep me occupied for at least a chunk of the remaining afternoon. It also means there's a good chance that I (and probably many like-minded, but superior writers) will be able to keep a mostly up to date blog of the event as it happens. I guess you, dear reader, will find out whether this happens or not. ;-)
