Do not forget Mother’s Day.
I’m at Starbucks. It’s 0833 and I’m processing email again.
One attendee has said they cannot attend. I’ve refunded and adusted their registration accordingly.
A potential sponsor has become a committed sponsor and I’ve answered their questions regarding how best to get material to the confernce venue on time.
I sent off […]

I’ve spent the last 3.5 hours going through the PGCon payments and registrations. It went well, despite the situation.
I’m still at Starbucks. This is a great place to work from.
I just got a phone call from a friend who will be meeting me here shortly. I must go.

It’s now noon. I’m caught up on my email.
I’ve fixed a small problem with the PGCon website where payments were going to bsdcan.org not pgcon.org. Both wind up with me, but it can confuse someone who does not know the two conferences are heavily connected.
I’ve responded to a tutor who wanted to ensure he […]

Just after midnight Friday morning, it started. Terrible stomach aches. It lasted all night and all day. It’s now Saturday about 10:30 AM and I still feel crap. I’ve spent most of the past 36 hours in bed. I’m sipping a peppermint tea hoping my gut pain goes away.
It’s […]

Thursday - wrapup
It is now 2224. I’m in bed. Detroit beat Dallas. Significantly.
After leaving Starbucks, St Laurent, I head downtown for the OCUUG meeting. St Laurent you say? Yes. I was at Elmvale Acres shopping center getting my watch fixed. One of the strap pins was loose and […]

It is now 1642.
Lately I have printed badges and invoices for both BSDCan and PGCon. More will be printed later, but this is the bulk of the printing.
I’ve been proofing more prints for the PGCon t-shirt. Processed more registrations and payments. Ran to Walmart to purchase some paper for the printer. […]

I was awoken today at 4 AM by a truck reversing. You know those lovely beeping sounds. Hmm. And this was with earplugs. It was loud.
By 7 AM, I was in my car on the way to my “office”. So far, I’ve managed to send off a letter of invitation […]

I picked up Eric at his office on the way home. He and I caught up on the trip along March Road to his place. Then he got on his home computer to continue his work day and I got on my laptop to catch up on more registrations. I noticed that […]

I’m now at Eric’s for dinner. Leisa will be home after a meeting. The kids are upstairs on their computers. It’s 1631 as I type this.
After my last entry, I headed out to Barrhaven to pick up mail at the Greenbank location. I had quite a bit waiting for me. […]

It is seven days before the first tutorial for BSDCan. It is 9:44AM. I’ve been up since 7 and doing email since 8:00AM or so. I’ve processed another few registrations that came in overnight. I’ve arranged an ATX power supply for one of the speakers.
I’ve also contacted Les Suites to arrange more […]
