7 hours and counting!
It’s about 7 hours until I leave my house, and then somewhere around 9 before I leave the country to head to aKademy. So what does a geek girl pack to take to a kool konference when she has to go to the other side of the world and travel for over 24 hours to get there?
- thinkgeek tshirts & pink socks
- palm & wireless keyboard
- laptop & wireless mouse
- ogg player & headphones
- canon ixus55 camera & accessories
- lip gloss, soap, shampoo, et al
- Patricia Cornwell book for the plane
- ‘DNS & Bind’ also to read on plane
- jar of vegemite to traumatise Inge’s children with
Also pens, paper, and other items so I can write KDE promo material while in transit. Oh, and books and stuff so I can write the article that’s due in 3 days that I promise I’ll write on the plane. Um, honestly.
I am also taking a simply ridiculous amount of batteries and chargers. There is no such thing as owning too many gadgets, but my boyfriend remarked to me today that there was such a state as too many cables, and it is one I have reached.
Be prepared to see me fearlessly brandishing a small green mp3 player on ‘record’ mode as I hunt for interesting and amusing stories at aKademy to keep our users informed about what’s happening in KDE land.
Lets hope the travel goes smoothly, and I can find wireless internet and a powerpoint at various airports so that I can play World of Warcraft^W^W^W^Wwrite my article and study virtuously while waiting for my flights.
Kudos to my employer Catalyst IT, who are extremely awesome for letting me come.
See you all there!
