Day -1: Saturday, May 3rd 2008
"Do not walk outside this area" is quite a funny text when you're flying at 10000 feet and "this area" is the right wing of your airplane. Well, I think it's funny anyway...
Today is a day of travel. Getting up at 6.30 am (gmt+2), arriving in Aspen at 6.30pm (mountain time).
As it happens, Dan Marsden is on the same flight from London to Denver, so we spend most of the time talking polymorphic lambda, data structure traversal and, foolishly, not sleeping.
The room at the Aspen Meadows is as great as it was last year, the hamburger is decent. Sleeping appears to be quite problematic at 8000ft altitude.
Day 0: Sunday, May 4th 2008
Today is the day of registration, drinks with some of the other participatants.
I feel I should be working on my presentation a little, but since my laptop won't be available until Monday(complex story involving encrypted harddisks, passwords and public holidays), I'm forced to relax and scribble some notes on paper.
