I'm still alive

Seems like a rather large percentage of my blog posts are of the I’m still here type posts. I really did mean to keep up with it this time. I wanted to keep a nice travel log, but that sort of fell apart once we hit the road. AT&T’s mobile network really really sucks once you get out of a metro area. I wasn’t expecting 3G service, but I was at least expecting something.
As for the trip itself, it wasn’t horrible . We stayed in some pretty crappy places along the way. We spent a day stuck in Laramie Wyoming when our car broke down. Most of the drive across the country is really quite boring. Around Utah it starts to get a little more interesting. It isn’t a drive I look forward to ever making again.
We’ve started to settle in pretty well and find something of a routine. I’ve been trying to get out and get involved a bit in the local community. So far I’ve been to a BayLISA meeting and RecentChanges Camp. I’m going to try to get to a LUG meeting and a few other things this month too. I haven’t yet decided which communities I want to attend regularly yet.
I’m enjoying it a lot out here. I love being able to walk pretty much everywhere. Our office is in SOMA not far from the stadium where the Giants play. Lots of stuff nearby, including the Moscone center. So if you’re ever in town for a conference, drop me a message.
