Starting up Coverage at HP Tech Forum Expo
by Andrew McCaskey
HP Technology Forum Coverage Starts Monday PM
I enjoyed a good flight to Las Vegas – direct on Allegiant Airlines – which flies from smaller markets only to vacation stops, in our case only to Las Vegas and Orlando. Usually I have not been able to catch them at the right time, since they fly only a few days a week – but this time the stars aligned. A little bit different, paying for extra bag, paying to board early, paying for assigned seat – but with the equipment that I had to put into the overhead, it was worth the extra money. With this trip there was no time to ship things in ahead of time.
The bad news is that I have a firewire drive that will not start up – not sure if it is the drive itself or if it is the power supply but in any event there will be no video done tonight on this machine. Early morning trip to a Best Buy, Staples or similar store is in the works, as the MacBook just has to have a firewire drive external for scratch space while any video is to be produced. My intent was to have some backchannel video at least in small snippets but looks like not in the cards. Looks like a quick trip to Fry’s in the morning.
The hotel LAN connection is also not working – can’t grab an IP address through the Airport Express – so for the moment making do with EVDO. We will get this sorted out tomorrow morning.
These are normal startup problems, and when we get linked up with the HP folks tomorrow at noon we will have a lot better situation. We’ve been promised a dedicated pipe, bandwidth, primary power and a front row seat for the keynote at 4:00PM Pacific, as long as we don’t dawdle.
Follow on Twitter – @axmc, @geekazine, @kkarsten and we’ll keep you informed when things start cooking. {sharethis}
