Update from Cali.

Just to fill everyone in, I'm at the USENIX '05 Conference in Anaheim this week. I'll have a lot to say when I get back, but the only observation I need to make now is that I'm pretty sure the hotel that the conference is held at is also where scientists are trying to achieve ABOLUTE ZERO temperature. I think that this hotel actually serves as the central cooling unit of the entire globe. You'll note that some of the hottest places on Earth are exactly on the other site of the globe.

As of right now, I can no longer speak since my tongue has frozen off. I lost both of my ears on Tuesday and I'm typing this with a stick that I'm holding with my two remaining fingers. Yet my PowerBook G4 is still holding out.

More later!
