Meeting my netbook in San Diego
I just bought the ASUS Eee PC 1005HA netbook from Amazon (http://bit.ly/bPTtq). I have no idea how to say "Eee" so I'm glad to be writing this, and not talking. The idea of buying a netbook came from @gletham, who tweeted about buying one for the ESRI UC. "That makes a lot of sense," I thought. Because I hadn't quite settled on how I would blog the UC.
My initial thought was to post to Posterous via my iPhone. This would have worked well if I were simply blogging. But I also plan on following the Twitter stream and contributing to it, so I need more screen real estate. It'll be great to sit in sessions and be able to track what is happening in others. I tend to jump from talk to talk, trying to squeeze in as much content as possible. The Twitter stream will greatly assist.
I'm meeting my netbook in San Diego. Amazon will ship to the hotel in Little Italy, with a scheduled arrival date of Monday. I'm hoping and praying that my shiny new netbook shows up Saturday so I can have it in hand for the plenary session. ESRI is setting up an area for attendees tweeting and blogging the plenary: http://tinyurl.com/myon3o. Pray for me. Thanks.
