BobS: mostly in Pam's computer rich-c: PEBKAC - but there seems to be lots of ssoftware support for it too Pamela at Ron2: I'm still trying to figure out why my computer won't recognize the connection Neil: IT depends where you are in relation to the transmitter and also how many are using it. Guy B.: Good schedule Dale.

BobS: maybe you got a BC wireless card Pam; and it won't work on the eastern border of Ontario rich-c: she can't get it to acquire an IP addess, Neil Pamela at Ron2: before that (and after) it's saying limited or no connectivity Neil: I just updated my Java a couple of days ago and it's working fine here. Pamela at Ron2: we cannot get an IP address Guy B.: Mine is built in, so should not have a problem. Hopefully Pamela at Ron2: that's as good an explanation as any Bob Pamela at Ron2: anyway Daniel, do you have a cell phone? Daniel Bienvenu: What is the plan for me to go to the hotel tomorow? ... 1st - I take the bus here in Quebec. 2nd - I take another bus in Montreal. 3rd - I wait at the bus station (Ottawa). 4th - I call someone for help. 5th - I play with my psp. 6th - I turn off my psp because I can't see what is on the screen because of the sun. 7th - someone pick me up. 8th - I join the group (I suppose) and wait for instructions. 9th - I go to my room and work on my presentation. BobS: thought it might just work.....either that OR Mr Gates is being a pain in the ..........

I put the charger in my carry-on case. Neil: Daniel, do you know the exact time your bus arrives? Pamela at Ron2: someone will be there for you Daniel, don't worry rich-c: dont fuss it Daniel, the big problems will be parking for Pamela, and recognizing each other Pamela at Ron2: okay I will make sure Ron has the number, Guy Neil: Pamela, I think you should set it to get an IP automatically. Pamela at Ron2: I know what Daniel looks like Dad FredK: :) rich-c: it's supposed to do that, Neil, but sometimes it does and sometimes it doesnt Dale: There, a slightly revised draft of the schedule: http://adamcon.org/wiki/?id=AdamConSchedule rich-c: Daniel, don't fuss, you'll be coveed Daniel Bienvenu: except loosing my hair because being exposed too much in front of computer screens, I still look like the guy on the pictures of Adamcon 2005. Neil: There is parking at the bus station. I don't think it's generally a problem. Pamela at Ron2: well then no problem : ) Daniel Bienvenu: I suppose I will be at the bus staiton around 17h-17h30 rich-c: also Daniel get Pam to give you her cellphone number so you can call if anything goes wrong Dale: Neil, will you have your printer at the hotel?

Pamela at Ron2: I hope with all my gurus here tomorrow I can get my connectivity problem solved Daniel Bienvenu: well, I don't know if will be able to take the first bus or to wait for the second one (one hour later). but finaly I estimate my arrival at 16h30 or 17h30... that's why I said I will be at the bus station during this period 17h-17h30 Pamela at Ron2: Daniel did you get the number down? Daniel Bienvenu: your wireless connection problem may not be your computer. even if a guru work on it, it may be just a conflict of IP addressing or something else at the server rich-c: given traffic conditions at that hour, I guess Pamela should go late and you should be pepared to wait Daniel Bienvenu: I took the number I got from your (private) message Daniel Bienvenu: done Pamela at Ron2: inputting Pamela at Ron2: not getting output Pamela at Ron2: see what I mean Neil? rich-c: (PRIVATE) Daniel: my cell is 416-399-6541 I will try to remembr to have it on Thursday afternoon, in case Neil: I think I can occupy more time if more time is available, but that looks okay for now.

Guy B.: Somewhere you can get something at the last moment rich-c: they have a good stock of craft beers Neil: You're not allowed to bring outside food or drink into the meeting room and it's right beside the front desk. Ottawa Ron: Guy, it's tomorrow afternoon you'll be here right? Ottawa Ron: oh...... so much for that idea Neil Neil: There are some snacks in vending machines, but that's a bit of a last resort. rich-c: I don't think they are likely to notice, Neil - they en't that observant Guy B.: It will be late afternoon, around 5:25PM. Neil: We might be able to smuggle something surrecticiously. I don't know. BobS: everybody bring your OWN snacks in with you.........can't complain about that rich-c: it's OK we have found a number of decent restaurants reasonably nearby Guy B.: Something close to the hotel rich-c: yes, though transport will be available, Guy - among other things I cannot walk any distance anyway Neil: The menus are designed for minimum 50 guests and 20 for some items.

BobS left chat session old Ronald: we got a schedule? old Ronald: Neil, Tony said he's not sure when or if he can make it over, but he said he'd try.. Daniel Bienvenu: (PRIVATE) It's Steve Bégin, not Bagen Neil: Ron, it would be great if you could stop in even for a short time. rich-c: certainly hope he can make it Neil: I mean "he" not "you" Daniel Bienvenu: (PRIVATE) thanks Dale: (PRIVATE) Fixed. old Ronald: I hate this wireless connection. understand it's working ok for some rich-c: now all I have to do is hear from james Dale: Yeah, maybe even coming by tomorrow evening after 7 for the reception would be good. old Ronald: Dale, re your question, haven't seen the sked yet, but yes... Sat/Sun is ok. rich-c: it seems to improve with experience, Ron, but a nearby competing network makes life difficult old Ronald: yeah, me to Dale: Well, it's half an hour for Coleco commercials, 90 min for Millionaire, and 60 min for ANN. old Ronald: ok.... got the sked address Neil: Ron: "Old Cleco ads from Yahoo" 11-11:30 Sat. "Could Adam Make You a Millionaire?" 9-10:30 Sun. ANN 2-3 Sun. rich-c: Neil does the Museum of Civiliztion event include the China exhibit? old Ronald: be right back Neil: I didn't actually include the price of the China exhibit. I think it's an extra $5. rich-c: OK, we've seen much of the Museum but want to see the Chinza show, if my mobility problems clear Neil: Yes, the China exhibit is extra. Neil: We'll figure that out before we go. rich-c: oh, we assumed that, just didn't know if you'd included it, is all rich-c: just like - I an't walk that far, so I will hve to drive and park, thohgh the rest of you can walk easily old Ronald: Just looked at the sked Dale.... for me thats perfect old Ronald: Looks like some neat stuff Neil: The China exhibit is on the same floor as the entrance, so it's easy to get to anyway. rich-c: my issue is endurance, which the walker usually solves, but thee's another has shown recently rich-c: if worst comes to worst I have A SUPPLY OF tYLENOL 3S old Ronald: Would it help if we strung you up from the ceiling Rich? Neil: On level 4 of the museum a brand new permanent exhibit "Face to Face: The Canadian Personalities Hall" has just opened, too. Neil: YTou won't have seen that. rich-c: I think I may make seious inquiries about that ;-) old Ronald: another period of silence rich-c: time is getting on - did you ever go look at my avatar? Neil: The museum is also free from 4 pm to 9 pm on Thursdays, in case you want to make a short visit tomorrow as well.
old Ronald left chat session rich-c: I think we have other plans for that time period Neil: (but if you want to see the China stuff Thurday night, it's $10) Neil: I'm sure you have plans. I just mentioned it in case you had an hour or so to spare. rich-c: well Pam will be fetching Daniel, Ron will be after Guy, and everyone will be after dinner Neil: That's true. rich-c: and there's even a football game to distract us Neil: I didn't mention it before because I was sure it wasn't practical for anyone. rich-c: don't think it matters that much, anyway rich-c: needs a whole day and more to look at thoroughly Neil: It does take time to look at thoroughly. I just thought if you were free you wouldn't have to do a whole day at one go. rich-c: we have been there before so our priorities have been elsewhere - War Museum, river cruise, kind of stuff rich-c: anyway time I packed it in - see you all tomorrow Neil: Yes, I should get back to last-minute details, so I'll sign off. rich-c: OK, bye all, and colour me gone
