In Pursuit of Mysteries

Survived the Canadian Bus Trip

I and many other Mozilla people are in the Vancouver airport now. We survived the six or seven hour bus ride in order to hang out at the airport for a few hours.

From the news, I see that bus rides in Canada can be a dangerous experience. Luckily, no one went all “Highlander” on us and we arrived intact. I expect that Canada will end its attempts to kill us now.

Now I need coffee to go with the three or so hours of sleep.

Power is Restored

The hotel has had its generator replaced and power is now restored. As you can see, Jono was able to do his presentation on the role of furry creatures in the Mozilla Labs development of Ubiquity.

P.S. I did hear that when we lost all of our power, the room safes locked themselves. Unfortunately, many Mozilla people had placed their passports within them…

Power Gone… Growing Cold… Send Help to Summit

To add insult to injury here at the Mozilla Summit, we now have no power.

I am told that a laundry truck hit the transformer for the hotel around 6:00 AM. (”They’re getting closer!” was said by someone.) We’re on battery power, which is good for ten hours or so. Luckily, they estimate that the power will be fixed in “five hours” but I’m not sure what that is in metric.

It was not seen if the driver of the truck was a Microsoft employee or a bear. I’m afraid to get on the gondola to go to the mountaintop for the big dinner tonight though.

Strangely enough, even though I have no power in my room, the wifi in the hotel still has power…
