WiFi Frustrations
I finally made it to the OSCON conference in San Diego. I'm listening to Matt Sergeant talk about "Why SOAP Sucks, Why SOAP Rocks." A pretty interesting talk.
Along the way, I've had some WiFi frustrations. First, I got associated in the Delta Crown Room in Salt Lake City, but couldn't find a DHCP server. Either it wasn't meant for public use or it was broken. Next, I couldn't get into a room above the 8th floor at the Sheraton, so no in-room broadband connections. The final straw was that on the conference floor, I got associated, but my machine (W2K) kept giving me a BSOD saying I had Multiple_IRP_Requests.
So, how am I connected? Using a VoiceStream wireless modem. Always pays to be prepared.

True to Ourselves
Dave writes in People with good hearts:Being kind to each other doesn't have to interfere with being true to ourselves; please let's do the extra work to find out where the anger is coming from, and try not to be angry at someone, esp not me. [Scripting News]
I'd change his first sentence a little to read: "Being kind to each other is being true to ourselves." I say that because if you can listen to what you know you should do (i.e. be true to yourself), you'll be kind. Is easy to take things personal that aren't and that lowers to level of discourse considerably.
