…and I don’t mean the software kind of clients, either.
So here I am in sunny San Francisco, typing this at MacWorld Expo thanks to a brand-new wireless networking card in my iBook.
I’ve had this iBook for rather a long time, but haven’t escaped the tyrrany of a wire connection until now. I spent a good part of yesterday roaming the hall floor looking for a vendor who would sell me an AirPort card, and finally got one to sell me the card out of one of their demo machines.
What prompted this sudden quantum leap in computing technology?
Glad you asked.
I have a client, see, and I’m working on a job for this client. The job was actually due three months ago, but the client hasn’t given me the files I need until now.
When I’m an inconvenient distance from home. And by “inconvienient distance,” I mean “as far as it is possible to be and still be on the same continent.”
The additional parts of the job are on my home computer. Which means I had to get access to it so that I can finish the job. Since MacWorld is sponsoring wireless hot spots, that means putting a wireless card in my Mac so I can connect to my computer at home.
Which is pretty damn slick, really.
Anyway, I’ve been working on this job, in between MacWorld, hanging out with altenra, going to Power Exchange, and meeting some of the figures who make up San Francisco’s BDSM scene. (We had dinner with Jay Wiseman last night; he’s very cool, very down-to-earth.) Nothing quite like an emergency deadline to make a cross-country trip more…err, interesting.
This wireless thing is pretty cool. Think I’ll have to get a wireless router when I get back home.
By the way, the iPod Mini is pretty damn slick, and gorgeous, but I’m still not going to buy one.

How long are you on this coast? It’d be interesting to meet up in person, if that fit with your plans. I don’t have any nifty Pool Parties to offer up right now, but our hot tub is usually available for warming.
Jay is indeed an interesting guy. I met him at PolyCon3, and he came to an early PPP, but we haven’t seen each other for a bit. Simply haven’t gotten sufficiently into that particular scene on that side of the bay. But it’s nice you got to have dinner with him.
Anyhow, drop me an e-mail if you want to (have time to) try to schedule something.
Very cool! I just fired off an email to you with my cell phone number. Give me a call and we’ll try to get together! We’ll be in town through Saturday morning, but Friday evening is booked solid and tomorrow looks to be as well…
So lovely to meet you two yesterday. Sorry for the chaos of the evening, though! Wish you guys could have stayed for hot tubbing. Maybe next time!

Speaking of hanging out…I’ve been trying to call, but can’t get through to your phone. Wanted to see if you want to go to dinner or something tonight. Call me…text message me…email me…LJ me. Just _______ me!
I tried to call you, and left a couple of messages, but no dice. Shelly and I walked from the hotel down to Fisherman’s Wharf and back, which was fun, but we were definitely missing you. š
The next couple of evenings are looking really busy, too. I hope we can see you again before we leave–you have any plans tomorrow?
David is coming over tomorrow night, around 8-9. I’ll be at work until who knows when. But I’ll make it a point to see you tomorrow, dammit!
