Did you have your passport on the FRA-OSL-TLS-FRA lines?

Yes. Did you get the crap scared out of you in the lobby that morning?

:) I had the same thought earlier this evening...

I must have missed the email. I was actually looking for somewhere to go this weekend. :rolleyes:

I found the specials on the web site. :rolleyes: indeed.

BTW, while we're discussing lines, does IAH-IAH from Do IV count as a line?

Still rendering some of my lectures to Flash, so I'm going to get some more Woodford.

That's impressive efficiency ^

The :-: was strong with me.

The wifi in the HP RIC is rather :rolleyes: though. My 3G card is faster by a longshot.

That's really :rolleyes: if the 3G card is winning the race.

Do you want an answer from a FT poster, mathematician, or someone else?

I heart Blurb. Decided tonight that a few family members were getting photo books for Christmas. Deadline for ground shipping is midnight PST.

I started at 7:30p. It's now just past 10 EST and I'm uploading an 80 page book I made from scratch. :-:

I made a book for my mom tonight, I have to finish it tomorrow and place the order, I used mycanvas via smugmug.

It's a dot. I have a dot without a line - 36FA, which is a helipad along Irlo Bronson Highway in Kissimmee.

It took me a while to figure out what channeling your inner Nancy Reagan meant -- consulting an astrologer? Borrowing designer dresses?

I guess I'll swallow my pride and stay at a Hampton Inn in Venice on Thursday night. While I've just about completely abandoned Hilton HHonors, I guess one night in a Hampton won't kill me. I still have a bunch of points with them but I'm a total Marriott guy now. It looked like only about a 20 minute drive from the Fairfield Inn to Venice but with morning rush-hour traffic, who knows :confused:.

When you said "stay by SRQ" I figured that meant off of US-41 by the airport and the art museum. Now that I look at it, the Fairfield Inn is in Lakewood Ranch by I-75, which cuts about 10-15 mins off of my driving estimate (according to Google). There are a number of places to eat out there -- though I don't know much about them because we are generally just driving through there on the way from TPA to the beach.

I still think you're better off staying in Venice, but then again I am less loyal with my hotel stays than you are.

My EVDO sprint card beats hotel wired or wifi about 90% of the time.
last week I was getting an amazing 6kb/s downloading a 12MB log file :( on wifi, switched to EVDO and had it at over 170kb/s and done.

I'm a big fan of MyPublisher. :-: If my camera had been more active this year, I would have gone that route.

Hmmm...no geographers? I mean, we might have parked maybe 6 inches further from where we started, so it isn't a dot per se.
