Maybe a good nights sleep...

Wow what a day.... It started this morning with a call telling me my car's been stolen and ended with a front row seat to a hit a run accident. Maybe if I get a good nights sleep tomorrow will be a little less eventful.

family reunion down south

Well,

I just returned from West Palm Beach Florida. I went down for a few days to see my cousins, a whole tassle of second cousins(the next generation of the family) and my aunt. I had a pretty good time seeing everyone. We all don't together enough so this was a chance to catch up. I didn't take any pictures because I was staying in a hotel in the industrial section of WPB (yes there IS one). It was an interesting trip to get down there. I went from San Francisco -> Atlanta -> Athens -> Charlotte -> West Palm Beach. Between 11:00pm on thurday and 2:00 Pm on Friday. It was quite an adventure in San Francisco Airport. I had gotten there and checked in when there was some sort of security breach. Everybody got hustled out of concourse #1, and of course everyone had to go through security again. I was really expecting the miss the Athens -> Charlotte leg of my trip, but somehow made it. Instead the plane was late arriving and I missed the Charlotte -> West Palm leg. I did get on the next plane to WPB so all was not lost....

Back at Hotstage

Well, much to my own suprise I'm back in Belmont at Interop hotstage again. I working with the VOIP group in the InteropNet Labs. Once a year a bunch of us get together in a warehouse in Belmont California. It's a little frightening to think how many years of our lives we've spent in this building. However, It's a great chance to work with some of the top people in the networking industry, as well as a chance to hang out with some good friends that I don't get to see often enough.....

We even have webcams mounted in different spots around the building....
