Off to Leavenworth for some outdoor climbing...
Well, one of the features of the places that I stay when on vacation is that they don't have any sort of ethernet hook-ups in the rooms. They still have a small datacenter, but not something you would really want to connect to the internet with given the non-existent security on shared terminals. I have to say, it wasn't my idea to sign up for such a vacation service, since my primary question when normally getting a hotel room is whether or not the place has a free DSL hook-up in each room. I simply can't live without it. However, I gave into the whims of Worldmark (maybe some of you guys are members) and so now I get an unlimited number of vacations each year for extremely cheap prices.
That said, I'm off to Leavenworth to do some outdoor climbing. It probably isn't the best season for it, but I have a couple of weeks before my contracts really start up, so I'm taking 3 days to hit some rock. If you follow my normal blog feed you'll find that I'm not a great climber yet, but I'm really getting into it for sport. Mainly bouldering, but I might actually attach a rope this time around and try out a pitch. I'm going with an excellent climber, primarily a boulderer as well, but I'm told he is somewhat versed in the art of lead climbing. It'll be an exercise in trust since I've never had to support anyone on lead climb.
Well, I'll try to log in and post on my blog over the next few days from coffee shops, and other places with free hacker infested Wi-Fi ;-)
