By the time you see this I will be on my way to the airport.
Net access will be sporadic, if any. You can try and contact me by various means: email, twitter or the various IM protocols I am on. I will also attempt to get a Canadian SIM card for my phone, will post the number here for folk to get in touch. Will only be good for the time I am in Canada so I’m not to bothered about having it on the web. Those who have my UK number, well thats gonna be useless as my phone will be in offline mode before getting on the plane.
I’ll try to update when I can, most likely will use Twitter for quick updates as well as organising things with folk in Canada.

Less than 4 days until I leave for Canada. Getting excited, my first international trip on my own. Should be interesting.
Stuff still to pack:
- Toothbrush
- Boots
- Maybe another pair of trousers

I have installed a polls plugin on this site. Not sure how often I will use it. Edit: this will not work when crossposted to LiveJournal, if you have a burning desire to vote then come to my real site.
I do have a poll up though regarding what computer I should bring to the RantMeet. My main laptop, Resistor is a fair bit of a beast, has everything I need but is a bit bulky and I do have concerns about theft. My EeePC is a lot smaller and lighter but lacks in battery and storage space, not good for entertainment on the plane. The other option is to bring neither and go “primitive” as it were. I would only be relying on my phone’s WiFi (not gonna do roaming except to get in contact with folk).
So internet, what is your suggestion?

I have booked the accommodation for the Vancouver trip at new year. I will be staying in at the HI Vancouver Downtown hostel from the 30th of December until the 5th of January. There is apparently free WiFi which I will make much use of while I’m there.
The interesting part is I will be staying in a dorm with possibly 3 other people that I don’t know. Hopefully my social skills have increaced.

I have just bought my ticket to the 10th anniversary RantMeet. I guess i’m committed now. Need to really start saving for the trip.

Anyone fancy a trip to Canada over the new year? I think it could be quite cheap if we organise it soon. Found a hotel with rooms at £30 per night (need to find out if that is per person or not). I’ll be going for the 10th Anniversary RantMeet but would be doing other touristy things as well. I plan to be no longer than a week but it is all negotiable. I am going to make a serious attempt at this. Will be working a lot of overtime to help pay for the trip.
So, who’s with me?
