i am having a good time here. i am very pleased to see everyone. san fransisco is beautiful and i might consider moving here if y'all hadn't had a tsunami the day i got here. i mean, i can just imagine how much even better my ass would look after i got used to walking up and down all of these hills.

that said, the externally imposed things in my life that suck still suck while i'm here. it would be very nice if going on vacation some place fabulous fixed everything, but i suspect that is a hard bug to fix and that patch will not be released for a while yet.

in the meantime, seeing people is good, good weather is good, hugs (in person or virtual) are good, and if you're here and taking pictures, please consider this permission to take some of me while you're here-- all of my icons are woefully out of date and no one recognizes me!

Yes, you look nothimg like this icon!

I recognized you instantly, and I, too, wish being at a nice con suddenly made my life nice.

Yeah, I recognized you from having repeatedly seen your "laughing" icon.

On the other hand, having read the FOGcon report of another person on my LiveJournal friends list who I had not previously met in person, I see that she went to almost every panel I did without me managing to figure this out.

With the photography policy in mind, I don't think I ever saw anyone take a single picture other than me taking a picture of a sign, but again on the other hand, with so many people using cell phones to take pictures these days, I'm sure that kind of thing is not as likely to register on me as it would if they were holding up more camera-shaped cameras.

Next year I hope to organize a social-media meetup -- or else figure out a way that people can be identified bot just by name but by LJ/DW/Twitter username.

So good to see you, and keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Yeah, I had remarked elsewhere that seeing all the nametags sometimes gave me a "LiveJournal on parade" feeling! I assume you were the Lynn who was among other things sitting in the back on the left at the final feedback meeting/panel.
