Isn't Technology Wonderful
I'm attending the Microsoft PDC and this morning I was awake early because of jet lag. I was sat in my hotel room in Los Angeles, connected to the Internet through a broadband connection, VPN'd into my router at home (in Cheltenham UK), using SSH to connect to my Linux server and then using emacs to edit files on that server (trying to fix my blog setup issues), while talking to a friend in Australia using Microsoft Messenger!
I attended my first PDC in 1992, when none of this technology was common place. It just struck me how far we'd come in less than 15 years!
Wonderful!

I cant believe you didnt use that as the opportunity to tell everyone that you have a 10Mbit internet connection at home... :)
Roll on LLU! (Not that its going to happen in my exchange ever for a *very* long time...)
I don't! But I will soon :)
