The Bell Family

For those of you who may be unaware, I am currently in the US for work. The purpose for my travel is to attend an Access Grid Conference [http://www.accessgrid.org/retreat2007].

I don’t know if I am simply a sucker for punishment or what, but whilst attending the conference, I will be providing a presentation and a hand’s on section for the conference. I will be helping with a number of other sessions as well. So I should be kept rather busy.

I am currently sitting in LAX (Los Angeles Airport) writing this draft for a blog update and so far the trip has been quite un-eventful. Unfortunately I didn’t really get any sleep on the flight, but it was very comfortable and I ended up watching a few movies (Deja Vu and Blood Diamond).

The conference itself is held in Chicago and I am looking forward to exploring the city. A mate of mine suggested I should go to a Jerry Springer show, but I think I might pass on that suggestion.

Well, I am looking forward to getting some sleep and hopefully catching up with a couple of my Access Grid colleagues tonight for a bite to eat before hitting the bed early (with any luck).

It is now currently Friday, so I hope to do a little shopping and recover from jet lag over the weekend before the conference starts on Monday.

Anyway, I will endeavour to try and post more messages and pictures when I can.

Until next time.

Take it easy,
Jason.
