My VERY FIRST Overseas Work trip!!
so I'm here in Ottowa for OLS. The Ottowa Linux Symposium. It still seems so unreal to me - although that *may* have something to do with not sleeping in approximately 60 hours or so due to sheer excitement!
The flight over was excellent - love the new Qantas Sky Beds. Not overly comfortable, but excellent gadgetry value! The others may say the flight was hardly worth a mention, however having only flown a very select few times I'm still excited about it =)
My first experience of Ottowa as a city involved arriving very late at our hotel (due to a rather annoying delay in Chicago that almost caused me to lose my excitement in flying), and having to go walkies through the city centre looking for food places that are a) open after midnight and b) NOT McDonalds. We finally found pizza, which tasted great at that time of night/morning.
Looking forward to spending the next few days surrounded by approximately 700 geeks - should be fun =)
