Live From MLA 2008

I've arrived in Great Falls for the 2008 Montana Library Association conference. We checked in, grabbed a (I'd like to say quick but it took almost an hour and a half) bite to eat and got down to business. I met up with my co-presenter for tomorrow Matt Beckstrom from the Lewis and Clark Library to discuss our game plan. We're presenting tomorrow afternoon on Open Source software and the benefits it can bring to libraries. I think we've sorted it out and now we're both updating slides and figuring out exactly what we're going to talk about. Things will go fine though, we both know our stuff.

The only downside is the spotty wireless here at the hotel. Both Matt and I have had problems keeping a steady connection. Next time, I won't forget to bring an ethernet cable. What was I thinking relying on hotel wireless?!?!

Hopefully, I'll be able to finish up my work in time to hit the casino/sports bar for a drink before I hit the hay. I bet I'll be able to make it. Until then, this is my view for the evening.
