Arrived in Sunnyvale, CA

[netmouse]

I am on the ground at the Wild Palms hotel for Scifoo and about to walk to lunch with some folks I met in the lobby. Will post more later.

Highlight of flight was showing off my iPhone to my seat neighbor, a fellow who worked for the telephone company as an engineer before he retired 35 years ago. Also did some reading on Learning Python.

Well, that is the source of the name; the standard Python metasyntactic variables aren't foo and bar, but rather spam and eggs.
