I started coughing before I climbed onto the upper deck of the 747 to ride turbulence home. (I says to my neighbour, I says “So I guess the secret to sleeping through turbulence is four glasses of shiraz, huh?”) For the first three days back in the northern hemisphere, I was too sick to do anything but sleep, finish Oryx & Crake, ignore snatchmail, and go out for a double espresso once a day.
Hence I’m behind in recounting the latter days of my trip. Based on experience, there’s a chance they will go unrecounted. However, some documentation is up.
- Dry stuff first
- Notes from my presentations
- ‘Damp’ stuff next
- CART transcripts (to be corrected shortly) from my second session and the now-infamous Web Standards Smackdown. You think I swear a lot when I’m onstage? Wait till you see me when I’m sick
- Other people’s photos
- Me on stage, second day
- Proof of my swearing on stage
- Just exactly how much alertness and poise I can connote merely through the act of sitting
Interestingly, I face the typical dilemma of the standardista in dealing with a gallery of 250 of my own photos: Apart from installing PhotoStack, how does one upload and present them in a compliant manner?
Will pick away at racontage.
