Well, I’m in Washington D.C. this week.  There’s a conference for OpNet going on, and I got lucky enough to attend.  I say “lucky” with about the half the usual sarcasm; I wasn’t overly excited to go out of town, but the product is cool and I’m enjoying the classes.  Plus, the sight of 1800 geeks milling about a Conference Center is truly something to behold.  We are at the Ronald Reagan Center right in the middle of D.C.  It’s a huge building luckily, because that many people need a lot of space.  We’re clearly an annoyance to the other daily workers in the center, which also provides me no end of amusement.  That’s about all I have to say for the moment… Class starts soon and I have a pretty good hike to get there.  Yeah, I could take the bus or a cab, but public transportation frightens me.
