Ah, the joy of red-eye flights

connaticSo OSCON is over - and it ended beautifully, with me having lunch with various really smart people: Jesse Vincent (of RT fame), Mark Jason Dominus (Higher Order Perl), Audrey Tang (Pugs) and her friend Ballas. Not sure why I was invited, but hey :-). It turns out that Audrey is using my MQSeries perl module and could really use the DB2 module I was about to release, so I feel at least marginally useful.
After lunch, I ran into Arthur Bergman at Powell's Technical Bookstore, and he made several off-the-cuff remarks about free software he's worked on that will probably save me several months of work. He's so smart it's often frightening, but him being such a nice guy makes up for it.
But now the bad news. I was supposed to catch the 11:59 PM flight from PDX to JFK (scheduled to arrive at 8:20 AM). I've been at the airport for a while, and now hear my flight has been delayed by at least 1 hour 20 minutes. So I'm not just going to be home late, I will also be really, really tired. Glad I'm not flying to Australia or New Zealand, especially not economy.
