Damn US Air. I had been hoping to go to OSCON in July, and bring along my wife and daughter to Portland for the week (my two sons will be at the ‘rents for a week at that time). But apparently, using freq. flyer miles, you can’t get there from here, because United has blocked out Star Alliance members from flying to Portland for the ENTIRE MONTH OF JULY. Feh.
Since that was sort of driving the whole trip-(it’s too expensive to get my fsking company to pay for a trip to Portland, and even when I tried to use our Web-based Amex travel system to check fares, it couldn’t figure out how to get me from BWI to PDX–it just broke down and cried), that sort of puts the kabosh on the whole thing. Instead, I’ll be in NYC for part of that week, and some lucky left-coast journo will cover the event.
I will still be going to the Apple WWDC and JavaOne (it helps that they’re at the same time and co-located at Moscone). So I’ll try to hook up with all you left-coasters there.
