This has been interesting so far. I am split between rooms on two different levels of the house because of space constraints. I’m sleeping upstairs in a bedroom/office, and I have all my clothes and whatnot in a bedroom downstairs. I’ve had no end of trouble getting online. There’s something very wrong with the fact that it was easier to send blog posts from the road than it is to post from inside a house with multiple phone lines and a cable modem. Fortunately, I brought my own Airport Express, and I now have it attached to the cable router, but it took most of the day to get that worked out. I ended up doing my conference call on the book cover interactive for ReadWriteThink without an Internet connection. Hopefully, I’ll have an easier time of all this tomorrow.

At the rate I’m going, I won’t actually be on the road till at least 1 pm, which means (sadly) that I won’t get there till probably 2 am. :( I really should have left yesterday. Oh well. I’ve got the housesitter set up. I’ve loaded a ton of food into the trunk. Some of the stuff is frozen fairly solid, so it should stay well chilled. All that’s left to go out there is my hair dryer and such (I really need to go dry my hair). That, and this computer, which means it’s time for me to log off. I hope to post from the road, but if that doesn’t work, I won’t be back till tomorrow.
