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.
~5. I should put my pants on.
At the airport, got through security. Pants are on. Masks off. Not mine, mine's up, but I've seen two masked people this past 30 minutes, and one of them was in the mirror.
@petko I could be wearing a kilt! Or a skirt!
@algernon@come-from.mad-scientist.club @petko@petko.me sorry for bringing this up again but holy shit algernon you're the least cishet cishet in existence
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).
