I’ll be off to WWDC<\/a> next Thursday, so the countdown has begun. I’m starting to make a pile of stuff to pack, double-checking reservations, getting my passport and spare dollar bills out from the proper archaeological layers on my desk, and setting up my trusty old iBook (600Mhz) for the trip.<\/p>\n

A surprising number of people have expressed interest in getting together with me; I have more dinner invitations than evenings! A far cry from most of my previous WWDCs, when I knew almost no one, and worse, no one knew me. The last one I went to, in 2000, already was better, when I met several people I already knew from either MacHack<\/a> or from the WASTE<\/a> development list, the only place I was active at the time.<\/p>\n

So far my schedule looks like this. I arrive at SFO International at 09:28 on Friday, June 3rd. I’ll be staying for 3 days at the San Francisco South Airport Travelodge<\/a>; inexpensive, conveniently located near the airport and near a BART<\/a> station, and with free WiFi in the rooms. The phone# is (650)697-7373.<\/p>\n

Sunday afternoon I’ll be at the Moscone Center to do my early check-in, to avoid the crowds on Monday. On previous occasions they had a special get-together for international attendees; let’s see if they do it this time.<\/p>\n

Monday at 10:00 is the SteveNote, and I’ll be checking into the The Mosser<\/a> just a few blocks from Moscone. The phone there is (415)986-4400; I hear they have Internet access, but it’s paid separately. I should have access at the conference anyway, so that won’t be a problem.<\/p>\n

Monday from 12:00 to 14:00 I’ll be at the MacSB list’s meetup, I think no definite place is set yet. In the evening, starting around 19:00, I’ll be at the Weblogger’s Dinner<\/a>. As Monday June 6th is also my birthday (I’m turning 0x36) a good time should be guaranteed!<\/p>\n

I’ll update this later with info on the other days. I’ll continue at the Mosser until the morning of the 11th, when I’ll probably be switching back to the Travelodge until I leave at 13:55 on the 13th.<\/p>\n

If you, gentle reader, want to arrange a meeting, please e-mail me (click the e-mail button below this post) or watch for me on AIM (rainerbrockerhoff@mac.com). More as it happens!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
