Registration was painless. Dave arrived last night, well after I went to bed (he boned himself and missed his flight, so he had to come into LA, and then drive down to San Diego).
Today was my one day to myself (with the orientation scheduled for tonight, I wanted to make sure I got in last night so I wouldn't miss it). Travelled over to Sea World this afternoon with Dave and his sister... Of all the times I've been to San Diego for OSCON, I never got over to Sea World. It was fun. Went to almost all the shows (and definitely all the ones I had any real desire to go to). It was pretty fun. It was pretty neat feeding the rays...
We ate at Kelly's tonight (I had eaten there last night, and it was really good, but I was also very tired so I didn't really enjoy it as much)... had the very tasty filet mignon again tonight, and this time got to actually savor it instead of just wolfing it down and heading to bed.
I don't feel so bad ordering a meal in the hotel restaurant that costs $30-40 when I realize that cabbing over to anywhere else would push the total cost of dinner right back up into that price range.
Went to the "LISA Newbie" orientation session this evening. Turns out I didn't need to... much of what they talk about in the orientation was very similar to something a regular OSCON attendee would already know.
Now hanging out in the terminal room. Hopefully I'll be able to leech enough 802.11b and terminal-room time that I won't need to subject myself to the crappy in-room situation... no high-speed internet, and any local call is $0.95 per 30 minutes. Oh, and the lines are crappy enough that I only get a 26.4k connect. Suck.
Well, should probably head off to bed soon. More tomorrow, I'm sure.
