I haven't a clue concerning what kind of ISP I'll find when I get there. Hopefully either the hotel or the venue will have something so that I can let everyone know how things are going.

Randy, one thing that I'm relatively certain about is that the weather is going to be of a kinder/gentler variety that what we experienced this year in Fargo! As you know, it was there that I learned that running a laptop in sweltering heat can prove fatal for the computer! I do have a new laptop from which I hope to share some stories from Azerbaijan with you and anyone else interested in reading about the World Championships and a neophyte’s impression of them.
