Got some coding done in airports today.

Landed. The plane went in circles around another city waiting for weather to move.

I think I may have just landed at the gate my connecting flight is leaving from. Usually there's more of a hike. Not complaining.

Heading back to the airport. Flight timings are bad so I'll be spending a lot of time in airports today.

Today's cat pic. Phone didn't get yesterday's.

People keep handing me beer.

In the roasting tent.

My room wasn't ready when I arrived and I never got the call letting me know that it was ready, but they took my suitcase up to the room and someone bought my lunch for me (which was unexpected, but I make a point of not turning down a free meal).

I'm told the cat did this all day.

Landed safely at PDX. Found the meeting place for the shuttle. Too many flights on the same carousel at bag pickup.

At the gate at MSP for the connecting flight. The people who designed chair placement at this gate seems to have made a goal of placing as few seats as possible with a sight line to the gate, but there's a high power outlet to seat ratio.

Sent out assignments to station instructors who didn't claim a station and/or roaster. I've taught with them before and know that they're just avoiding conflict in case other instructors have stronger preferences. They're good enough to execute on any of these.

Made it past the recombobulation area. I think Milwaukee is the only airport to call it that.

3AM breakfast because air travel.

Was hoping to get 1.9.1 proper out before retreat but stuff kept coming up. Everything is in the release branch for anybody who cares to compile it themselves and the only difference from rc1 are updated version strings. Will try to get to finishing up a proper release when I get back from this trip.

Doing a backup of the local production database to the new laptop and I'm watching my free memory trend toward 0. It seems that around 0.24GB free it starts releasing cached memory (23GB).

Got a text message asking how I feel about using a Kenyan coffee in my class. I think this is fine.

My list of stuff to work on for 1.9.2 keeps getting longer.
