Four words: Worst. Business trip. Ever.
I’ll give some more details later, after the airline decides what they’re going to do to make things righter (they can’t make it right). They managed not to crash the plane. Which is less of an achievement than me managing to drive to the airport without crashing my car. Other than that, they didn’t do much of anything right.
I had a nifty VPN set up that let me connect back into my home network to post, but a power outage knocked out my proxy server, which I had forgotten to configure to auto-start. I wasn’t about to log in here via unencrypted hotel wifi, which was why I was absent here for a few days.
I’ll have some more stuff in a while, but for now I need to take care of a few other things.
