Don't Panic!entry,
Some of you may have noticed that Wednesday's comic was late. This was NOT due to me being behind schedule. I'm not sure whether it was a technical problem or a case of me forgetting to upload the comic, but you can rest assured that I still have a healthy buffer. Kudos to Sandra (my belovedificant other) for re-uploading strips Wednesday morning.
This has been a busy, busy week for me, and I'm currently exhausted. Fortunately, I feel pretty good about the work I've done, and the conference is going really, really well. I'm sleeping at home again now, since my schedule is a little more sane for the next couple of days, but I still have a lot of work to do. Thursday night is the worst of it -- "Meet the Experts" runs from 6pm to 10pm and exposes me to demands for enhancements from people who've had too much (or not enough) to drink. It seldom ends on time, and by the end of it I will have lost my voice, and at least three pens.
If you're at the show, you may just be able to pick up a bonus comic at the Caledonia Consulting booth. They are giving out bookmarks with an ad for their latest tech book on one side, and a Howard Tayler Original on the other. If you're NOT at the show, but happen to be a Keenspot PREMIUM subscriber, you'll be able to catch this comic in a few weeks when it runs in the Premium Gallery (but you will not be able to get it signed by me). If you are neither at the show nor subscribing to PREMIUM, you're out of luck. Maybe if you print this page out and take it to the grocery store, they'll give you a tub of Nesquik.
Enough of this. Like I said, I'm exhausted. I'm heading upstairs for a hot bath and some sleep. G'night!
