Need to scrape about a minute and a half off of my delivery. Probably a bit more, maybe ~3 minutes, to be safe.
Hmmm hmm. Complicated! There are parts that are slow, but they have to be slow. And I don't want to cut anything. I guess I'll have to talk a little faster here and there.
Poop. It got longer.
Oh, yeah, I have to reprogram my foot pedal!
....and I need Discord on the phone. Gah. All these annoyances I'll delete after the conference.
I wonder what else I will forget.
27 minutes! Perfect. That'll do.
On the other hand, I was given another prop and was told in no uncertain terms that I have to incorporate it into the show.
I have a few ideas, and fortunately, it doesn't affect the slides very much, and won't affect timings either.
I'll have something to do on the plane!
Whopsie. Almost forgot my coat & umbrella!
Chargers, pen & paper notebook (with pen), foot pedal. Hm. What else.
Ooof. Wife's laptop does not have a user for me. And hers is set to hungarian layout. Yikes.
It's also running NixOS 24.11. This'll complicate things.
Of course half the things aren't cached anymore, so... recompiling niri & ironbar for funsies, just so I can set the locale to English.
Well, keyboard set back to English. Firefox still talks Hungarian. But I can live with that. An SSH key so I can ssh home, and laptop should be set.
Aaand done. Verified I can SSH home. Not very convenient, and the WiFi config is a bit awkward, but... I can make it work well enough to last a few days.
I looked in the mirror. I should not have.
algernon goes to shave because he looks like a lost caveman
I will do a mask count at the airports like last time. Pretty sure I will be disappointed again.
Oh. I need to write down the hotel address so I can, like, find my way there from Utrecht train station.
...are trains even available that late in the evening?
I seem to recall they run 24/7, but it was a while ago I checked. Kinda too late now if they don't (there's still Uber, I guess, but... $$$).
Good. Looks like there's a train every ~15 minutes or so.
Oh. And the hotel is a 3 minute walk from the train station. Awesome. How did I not know that.
I shaved. I look like 5 years younger.
Leaving home in ~30 minutes. Last minute "what the fuck am I leaving home" panic sets in, and I'm looking through everything.
I wonder if a "D" seat is a window seat or an aisle seat.
Looks like an aisle seat. That's gonna be a first time then!
Eh. If I chose an earlier flight, I would've had free wifi! Oh well. But that would have ment considerably less legroom (bad), and leaving before the kids are home from school (very bad).
