Off to Minicon

[carbonel]

Well, I've packed my suitcase (as usual, with a batch of dressier clothes that will probably get hung up and go back in the suitcase on Monday without having been worn), burned a CD of files for work and Minicon, assembled some junk for Junkbox Wars, and I think I'm ready to head off to OfficeMax and thence to the hotel. Finished going over the copyeditor's comments on the last chapter of B's book and sent it off. Also did triage on the To Do list of my TiVo so that I don't end up with all skating and no NYPD Blue when I return.

I've spent the last several days working intensively on both Minicon programming and B's book. I hope both turn out well. Now is when I get to find out about the first one. I wish that the export for name tents had worked properly; I'm going to have to cope with that later. I hope nobody is upset because some people are only on one panel (or none) and one person is on a bunch. I hope no one on any panel says "I don't know why I'm on this panel." I hope there's not a long embarrassed silence during any panel where people don't have anything to say. I hope no panels self-destruct, or at least if they must, that they do so interestingly. I hope that people talk about the panels after they happen, and in a good sort of way. The goal of programming is to spark discussion: in the panel and outside.

I hope it all works.

From everything I've heard, it certainly seemed to work.

Pretty good job.
