And we're off...
For those who haven’t been keeping up…
I’m heading to RailsConf in Chicago this Thursday - Sunday. Instead of just flying into Chicago I decided to join the crew from Planet Argon, along with a crew of 16 other random rails-hackers, on the Argon Express, a 40 hour train ride & hacking session to Chicago.
Expect many good stories, pictures and perhaps some code. I’ll try and keep the site updated as we travel. Currently we’re all sharing my GPRS connection, feel free to hop onto #theargonexpress on freenode to chat it up, I’m sure we’ll all be online while we have connection.
All aboard the Argon Express!
T-Minus 8 hours until I board the Argon Express!
Currently I’m sitting in the PHX airport preparing to head to Portland where I’ll meet up with the Planet Argon guys as well as the rest of my traveling companions. At that point we’ll board the AmTrack headed for RailsConf in Chicago. Approximate travel time: 40 hours.
I’m definetly excited for this trip; mostly because I have no clue what to expect, who I’m going to meet, or what I’ll be doing! I’ll do my best to take lots of pictures as well as blog the entire week. I expect this to be a very memorable trip.
Expect a quick update before we board, then I’m not sure what my net access will be like while on the train so there will most likely be a bit of a blackout over the next 3 days while I’m traveling.
