Back!

By clock on August 11, 2008.

After four days - last three of which I had no internet access - and after11 hours of travel door-to-door (or 8 hours from entering an airport and exiting another airport), I am home. Exhausted.

As I knew that several other Sciblings had to deal with the chaos of NYC air-travel this weekend. We were prepared - took it slowly and easily. Read a book. Could not login to JetBlue wireless (I think my PLoS laptop has so many layers of security, it does not allow me to connect to public wifi deemed too dangerous - that's why I need to get myself a Mac AirBook, or a Wee, for travel). People-watching. Napping. It was fine - no nervousness as we knew what to expect.

Will try to catch up with life, work and blogging as fast as I can. There will be more pictures, but I have to first check with some pseudonymous bloggers what pictures are OK or not-OK to post.

Lindau - I have arrived
I have arrived. The trip was OK. Terminal 2 at RDU rocks - I was there far too early (due to trip-excites) and spent 3 hours online on my iPhone. At Heathrow, wifi is pay-only, and I could not detect any at the Zurich airport. There is no AT&T signal to be picked up at Heathrow, Zurich or…
Update, and question about computer problems
You may have noticed very sparse blogging last couple of days - just the pre-scheduled Clock Quotes... Well, I have some laptop problems (Dell PC with WinXP, only FF as browser). The first inklings of problems showed up right after the AAAS meeting last month. I have been dutifully cleaning with…
Final notes on the Science Blogging Conference and Anthology
This is what I posted on February 23, 2006, about eleven months ago. As you can see, both from my post, and from the comments, the idea was to have some kind of BloggerCon devoted to science blogging, almost like a giant MeetUp where a bunch of science bloggers can get together, finally match the…
